Very high quality product. They are supposed to be up there in quality, comparable to the Japanese.

Biggest Chinese/Taiwan seller/company in Canada. Jianshe is big as well.
However for what I have seen ...pricey for a 1998 tech quad. Seem well built more or less.

Well, gang, my wife has an '05 Kymco Vitality 50cc 2 stroke. We both love it! Has good power for such a little engine.

I just finished a rider training course last week. One of the other students a had a 250 Kymco scooter. That thing was faster than my 200 GY2 and got beter gas mileage!

i have a lot of business to learn here from kymco,
finally learned what a GE floor account means , that is aproved financing on all products where GE pays kymco for your order and you pay GE only when the unit sells, so , that helps , i wonder if thats how the big brand name dealers do it to ? they also do prepaid ordering as well like the china distributors do, but i think Kymco has better quality products and that might help me get going then off to Shineray land or who knows , my business plan is coming along well and soon bankers will turn me down like the dog i am ,,,,, soon i will be in way over my head in debt, something called overhead 8O 8O

When my wife and I were shopping for her scooter, I got a chance to ride all of the other Kymco Scooters. Their 250cc really moves, but the 500cc is a highway rider's dream. That scoot REALLY hauls and is very comfy. My wife is thinking of getting the 150cc Bet & Win, which is really nice looking and has some get up and go for the city.
I'm really impressed by their quality, fit & finish, etc. We've had NO problems with my wife's scooter, unlike my Tank motorcycle. Nuff said. olds_cool DON'T BE A SQUIDIOT! 8) |

Kymco vs TGB
I have considered the Kymco, something around 150cc. I recently came across the TGB. I believe it is made in Taiwan like the Kymco. I was looking at the R-9 150cc. Does anyone have any info, good or bad, on these scooters?
