Kymco People GTi 300 review and video
« on: September 07, 2016, 08:58:00 AM »


This has only just arrived in the UK in Euro 4 version, so here's our first impressions of the People 300 from www.ScooterLab.UK

This is a full first test review and preview video: http://www.scooterlab.uk/2017-kymco-people-gt-300i-review-road-test-2/

Have any of you lot had issues with the centre stand stability?

Any other issues we should know about with this model?

Nice job on the review! .....though I think the council  needs to have a sitdown with your road striping crew. They've obviously been to the pub ("Frog & Pickle"?) again before setting to work.
What are the permissable blood/alcohol levels for public employees in the U.K. ?
Here in the colonies it is illegal to test them....and unsafe. :-)

This test was carried out in Wales - completely different rules there regarding alcohol consumption of public servants (it's possibly compulsory). There when you see a road sign for Public Leisure Centre it is possible to find a sheep tied to a lamp-post  ;)

for about 3 1/2 years, I think it is a dream scoot.
There are two changes I would like to see for this scoot.
1 - The seat needs better padding and some back tilt.
2 - The brake reservoirs should be exposed for ease of maintenance.

Otherwise, this is a very nice scoot.

Great review, really enjoyed it.  I will be spending a bit of time on your website in future.  Did you try lying your helmet on it's side in the top box as I have to do that with mine in the LIKE's top box and it fits ok.

In truth, no we didn't try that because our helmets have a Sena camera mount and bluetooth intercom the other side they are actually wider that way, but you may be right. Good point Paul.

No worries,  would like to see you guys do a review on gps and mounts in the future.  I noticed a motorcycle gps on one scooter and a gps inside a gps holder on the other (mine has that with a mirror mount of ebay but would like to get a Garmin or Tomtom motorcycle unit one day.
This is my current one:   http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/151972844779?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rmvSB=true

Did read that report, quite interesting but unfortunately don't know if or when it will come to Australia.
