What do you think of the Super 8 ?

Lost the cap too on my Agility 125. The replacement was around 30 US$ with bolts, washers and nuts.
Obviously these things tend to fall off Kymcos.

We are 2/3rds the way through winter here in Tasmania & my super 8 125 sits out in the rain all day at work. Never had any fogging issues so far. Don't know how fast it'll go as I'm on my learners licence & aren't allowed to go over 80kph on the highway. I only bought mine for riding to work but now I ride it everywhere. I hardly ever drive the car anymore. Haven't driven the car to work since the start of March when I got my scoot new. Love it!!!

Hello Super 8 buddies,

Well I bought my green/black-colored Super 8 150 last June from my local dealership, and with 700 miles on it the only thing I have to say is it's just what I needed, small, lightweight, great color scheme, quiet, stingy on gas consumption, neat-looking control panel (the clock is a plus, it gets me to work on time), low low price, and great storage area.

Some of the room for improvement: the seat - I found myself sliding towards the front of the scoot as the seat is tipped to the front. And,  all my body fat shakes when I hit bumps in the road.  Well, this was solved by placing a pad of foam rubber about 2.5 inches thick, held with bungie cords, on the seat. Much smoother ride, and I don't slide towards the front, ha ha.   I will send some pics. 

And my helmet does not fit in the under-seat compartment as stated in some of the literature, but it does hold lots of stuff, even a 1 gallon paint can.  No need for saddle bags, etc, that compartment holds lots of stuff. 

Nothing major wrong, and at that price I consider myself blessed with a great scooter.

"I also lost the back cover on the muffler I'll see if the dealer will replace it."


   Yea i also just about lost the tip to my muffler as well, i was just walking by the scooter one day and noticed that 2 of the 3 screws were missing! lucky i cought it in time. If you have one of these scooters def check those screws often cuz ive heard of them falling off allot.

Super 8 is  very unique option for every one. It is the best moped for every human being. It is very light weight as well as give a good mileage and average.

Weekends and longer trips ,two up? Get a 400 cc, one up get a 250. Anything smaller is a metro and for metro a 125 is your best bet,IMHO. Better mpg and will go fast as the law allows.

I have a little moist in the headlight lens. How do you clean this?
