@mouse,
as a newbee on Kymco LIKEs:
Have to say, I love to tinker, to improve, to invent,
 because I did this on my job for so many years.
Bulletproof, I have seen four-cylinder aircooled truck motors which where distroyed simply by neglection and ignorance.
So, when I watch this little engine of our Likes, I'm really surprised, how long it lasts, and would opt for the predicate BULLETPROOF.
Of course, brakes not maintained until iron on iron starts glowing, electrics hanging off...
All this can be sinned on a $20.000,- BMW or MOTOGUZZI too.
If you compare purchase and value, there are not many other motorcycles around, which offer that.
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus

If I could have any Kymco, it'd be the GTI 200 (or 300).  Has a flat floor, which is great for errands and carrying stuff.
They were available just a couple yrs in the US, I think.

Look at the Like 150i ABS. It has a flat floor and more horsepower (13.5) than most 150s.

That is impressive hp.  Prefer the 16" wheels of the GTI, however.  Lovin' my Cali Classic though (even w 11.8 hp),
so not in the market for any scoot.  If I were, a GTI would be at the top of the list.

2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

I was wrong, the People 250S does not have a flat floor. While the hump is not as pronounced as the Xciting's it still has one. The GV 250 does have a flat floor.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

:D ..might say the best one is the one you can afford and which is paid. 😊
I actually think this is the best response.

I imagine that the product which really keeps Kymco afloat....is the 50 and 125 Agility.
If I had but one choice to have one air-dropped to me on a Pacific island ...it would probably be an Agilty. With instructions for making gas from coconuts using my shoelaces and a spoon.

Better have the professor along, come to think about it scratch the professor and bring Mary Ann and Ginger.

Seriously though I see very few of the Agility's come up for sale and when I do they are priced high in my area. The 50 seems to be the one of choice by young people without a motorcycle license and by people who have a DUI. The ones that do come up are either pristine or held together by duct tape.

It has been awhile since I have been on the computer and looked at Motorcycle forums .
This is a question I have an answer for and I really believe It is the Rite answer .
I believe that the best scooter you can find is the Next one and then the Next one after that .
This year I only bought 1 bike it is an off year, the new and I am sure the Best Scooter is



The Next One  ;)



 Hopefully a New AK550 how can I possibly be wrong ?
I HAD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY will look splendid chiseled on your tombstone !

  Be Careful out there
 2022 AK550
2023 People 150

I'd check out the ease of DIY service on the Like150i...before you decide that bit of extra HP is worth the agro.
If you're OK with buying your service - no worries!
