Hello.  New here recently purchased a cv3.  Noticed the lack of ak550 and Cv3 pages under scooter on main page. Is anyone familiar with the differences between the two.  The CV3 has minimal accessories but the ak550 seems to have quite a bit.

Welcome Lucky.

AK 550 owner here.
None of the newest models from Kymco have their own sub forum so I just put "AK 550" as part of the title for any threads I start in one of the main General sub forums (General, Technical, Roadcraft, etc).

I imagine the first difference between the AK 550 and CV3 is how many wheels. And the bits and parts that make up the front end. I don't know for sure, but I would think there are a lot of similarities with the rear drive systems. The engine is basically the same engine as are the CVT and other drive train parts. I would not be surprised to find that most of the accessories for the AK will fit on the CV3 as well. But I also don't know if the under seat storage is the same so there is that to think on.

How do you like the CV3?

Pretty good quality promo video!
I like the cut-aways.

These are vineyards, right??!

Keep us informed!  This type of 3-wheler is used in regions where there's likely snow or ice.  They're somewhat like a snowmobile in layout and more stable than a 2-wheeler in winter conditions.https://assets.londonist.com/uploads/2017/09/i730/p68__police_community_support_three-wheeled_scooters.jpg
