2007 Kymco Scooter reviews

OK - I ride a Harley. It's a heavy bike and I like the weight. Today I bought my wife a blue People 200S and because she has limited riding time, she wanted me to ride it back from the dealer. WOW what a blast!! I was laughing so hard by the time I got home! I never thought a scooter could be so fun. I got it up to about 65 mph at my weight and the thing just handles great. It is well put together and equals the Honda 150SHI for build quality and it's so much cheaper! I put over 100 miles on it myself and am just so impressed! Yea - she said I could take it to work.......someday. Show less

I actually went to the S200 having a Kymco 250cc scooter. The nimble handling more than makes up for the loss in cc's coming from a 250cc. I'm pretty happy with its performance considering it's a 163cc and it's 100+ lbs lighter than my 250 was. This scooter seems to be balanced very well, much to my liking. I have had it on a 150 mile ride with very good fuel economy. Even at 60 mph indicated at (70 mph on speedo), it doesn't seem to be overworking the engine. I have added a taller windscreen which really helps give a more stable ride while going highway speeds. The glovebox is a nice feature that my 250 did not have. Underseat storage isn't that roomy but you can add a topbox like I did. The downside is getting to the brakelight/turnsignal bulbs as well as the brake master cylider which will require the removal of body panels. All in all, I am happy with and would purchase another.

No complaints, watch the throttle and get 45mpg in town. The back tire was gone at 4500 miles. Had a main fuse blow, changed it and doing fine. I would buy another one, but first I got to wear this one out. Good product. Great ride. Show less

I started with a 50cc scooter when fuel prices went through the roof. The 50 was great but I was always at the head of a line of traffic doing the speed limit, but pressed by cars. The 200 People has the power to let me blend with traffic and these 16 inch tires smooth out the ride and mask road imperections well. Can get it up to 60mph but really stay around 50 most of the time. Show less

It rides a little too high. The seat needs to be lower. It makes you a little top heavy. The odometer does not show up good, red is not a good color. Performance overall is great. I am very satisfied with it. Show less

I've had this scooter just under 2 months now and it's been great. It is a lot more versatile than a 50cc scooter while lighter and easier to handle than a 250. It tops out around 70 mph indicated and that's fast enough for short runs on the 65 mph bypass around town. It will remain steady at 60 or so and still get 70-80 mpg. Underseat storage is a little shy but the front glovebox and baghook come in handy so it will carry a reasonable amount of items. Remember, cars and trucks are also available for other purposes that require more speed, storage, weather protection, ect. My battery lost some of it's pep the first week but after using my Battery Tender small maintainer overnight a couple of times it has been fine since with no more battery problems. I can scoot away from a dead stop in heavy traffic without worrying about getting smashed with a slower scooter. I used to own a scooter dealership and this one is a well designed all around unit.
