I have a 2002 kymco people 50 and I am looking to move my battery from the housing unit above my knees. Is there a good/safe location that I could move it to? Thank you for your help
"scootman",
No more than you will be able to store where the battery is currently located, I would suggest leaving the battery where it is and installing some sort of external storage compartment on the back of the leg shield somewhere. I did this on my SYM Fiddle II and it turned out great. The storage compartment you will see in the photo should be available at a local auto parts store, but you might have to look around at a few stores to find one. I got mine at Advance Auto here in NC. What is it you want to stow away anyway? I use my storage container for things like a cell phone, camera, sunglasses, gloves, etc....mainly items I may want to get to quickly and/or easily. Anyway, see attached and good luck finding a storage solution.
By the way, I also own an '07 People 50, but no storage mods yet. I did do a mod on the passenger pegs so each peg would lock into place so I could rest my size 10 feet/shoes on the pegs as opposed to on the floorboard where space is limited...see second photo for that mod.
