i dont know if thats a kymco, looks vaguely like a ZX but i think it may be a chinese clone. some people on ebay just sling a name on it to get people interested. i may be wrong and it may be a Kymco but i aint hedging my bets man.

right i have changed my betting....its a chinese copy....they are saying its a kymco agillity hoping some simpleton will go "hey its a Agility im gonna buy it" then realise its not and that they are a fool.

i say leave it for a halfwit to buy, they deserve as much, will teach em to do there homework in future.

I usually look at the wheels first. Clones usually don't bother copy the wheels. The scoot in the pic shows steel rims. Kymco doesn't have those....

Jonway Agility

compare the decal at the front and side..

It could be a Jonway, a clone of Jonway, or a clone of a clone of Jonway ...

Also looks like 10" wheels.  I don't think that any Kymco's have 10" wheels.

there are some Agilitys in britain that have 10" wheels, i had to do my second CBT on one with 10" wheels and it felt horrible..the tyres are thinner and obviously the wheels are smaller....didnt like it.

it does look like a nice scoot but is it worth 600.

Jonways suck, they look good for a few months then rust away and fall to bits before your eyes. The build quality and quality of tje parts and paint & chrome bits  is terrible. Guy i work with has a 2011 125cc jonway and it looks about 10 yrs older tjan my 08 agility, his has flaking paint, rust and looks beat already and its not even 2yrs old yet.

Ran into a guy at a gas station one day that had a Chinese scoot less than a year old. The same thing, it looked like it was 10 years old. He asked me how old my peop was. I said it was 2-1/2 years old. He was pissed  :D
