I use a 12v trickle charger made by Oxford Products for the UK market. I have the pigtails permanently connected with the plug comming out of a small hole cut under the seat. When I get home I just lift the seat and plug in. Great if you are not using the scoot for a few weeks. I really got it for the winter months.
Also my 200i does not have a kickstart and someone told me you cant bump them. Not sure if that is true but I dont want to find out the hard way.

I use the 12v Battery Tender Jr. It goes for around $30 and comes with both a clip attachment and ring attachment.

Which  version of the battery tender would you guys get? The 12v or 6v?

Lucasan: 12-Volt. Don't use a 6-Volt. Kymco batteries are all 12-Volt BTW.

Read my original comment again.  I said it is good IF you will not be riding for an extended period of time. I use one in the winter as I do not ride when it is cold, from about November through March. Other than that, I have never hooked up a battery tender and have never had battery problems either. If it makes someone feel better, by all means hook one up every day.

Sonic: It's not a "Feel Better Issue" Simply by investing $25.00 in a battery tender, you're extending the life of your battery. Not to mention that everytime you crank-up your scooter, you know it's @ it's best.

Our small 12-Volt batteries cost like $60.00 (average price) @ least for a Yuasa batteries. Yes...You can buy a cheap Chinese knock-off for half the price but why do that? So...You're not a fan of battery tenders? That's fine. I say....Invest short-coin & know that your battery is fully charged all of the time.
