Rider Impressions
In a quick walk-around, we noticed the Kymco’s quality fit and finish. This thing wasn’t just thrown together. A lot of engineering went into the design. The seat was comfortable. There was plenty of room in the cab for both the rider and passenger.
Once we got on the trail, we found that although there is adequate power and performance, the Kymco was not designed for speed. It was very comfortable cruising at 40 mph, although we did get it up over 55 mph. Although it is sporty, its design is more for function that speed.
Being that it is still springtime in the mountains, our ride took us over some rutted trails left by vehicles that had recently dug their way through soggy soil. In these conditions the Kymco impressed us on how well it worked when negotiating deep ruts. You could really feel the independent suspension working its way through the holes and bumps.
