I currently live in the Phillippines. Kymco scooters are popular here, good quality. The 300i model is very very popular here. The factory in Tiwan just moved to Laguna, Phillippines and opened in November 2021. This is a very good scooter! John
Kimko scooters.. In my opinion, the best brand in the world, the most beautiful finish.. Easy to maintain, parts are not expensive. Very high quality, consumes little gasoline, long-lasting and long-lasting scooter. It is very mandatory to have a basic service.. It goes well up the hill, it can reach 140 on sat. But it is enough and safer up to 80 per hour.. Any fast driving is dangerous to life.. For me, who is 193 tall and weighs 110 kg, this scooter is very very excellent.. Kimko the best and most beautiful scooter in the whole world.. Kudos to Taiwan for their beautiful products. If anyone is interested in Kimko scooters, ask...
Yeah, it's rare to see a modern scooter that doesn't have digital gages that you can't see in bright sunshine and isn't styled like a prop from a Star Wars sequel. Too bad I just don't fit on it with that stepped seat. If I could move back a few inches on it I'd be riding one.
I have the Kymko Like 150i and like it very much but since Yamaha offers the X-Max 300 in the US with Tech package I would go for that one. This is not current Kymko model! Look on RUclips! Why they sell us old models in the US?
A few years ago I was very interested in the 300 X-Town and went to my local Kymco dealership to check it out. I was very disappointed when I sat down on the one in the show room and felt very cramped on it. The stepped seat had me jammed too far forward with no leg room and I felt like the handlebars were in my lap. And I'm only 5' 9". Apparently these things are still being designed for very short people. Aside from that it's a great scooter at a great price. I checked out the Yamaha 150 S-Max once and it had the same problem. I could never be happy with that "sit up and beg" riding position. My current Kymco Like 150 is obviously a smaller bike but due to the flat seat and flat bars I can slide back a bit and be fairly comfortable. I've hated those stepped seats ever since they first started appearing on motorcycles almost 50 years ago.
@@temurkurbanbekov9639 We don't have Peugeot scooters here in the USA. The only European scooters sold here are Vespa/Piaggio. The US isn't a big market for scooters in general, I almost never see one on the road except for my own. Even in big cities you rarely see them. Never see small motorcycles anymore either, just big expensive Harleys and sport bikes. I watch scooter videos from Europe and Asian countries and it looks like scooter heaven.
You made me laugh sir...I'm 193 cm tall and weigh 110 kg, I can tell you that the Kimko x town 300 is very very nice and comfortable. Maybe you've tried the Kimko with a flat floor for your feet. and the French Peugeot, they are like Chinese quality plastic, nothing is wrong with them, nothing comes off and falls off, and after 60,000 kilometers, the engine and the pistons in them fall apart...Kimko is a very excellent and quality brand..Greetings to you from Europe..
@@zutaruka-ni2rg The X-Town may be comfortable for you, but it definitely isn't comfortable for me. But we all have our personal preferences. Personally, I dislike the "feet forward, lean backwards, hands up in the air" riding position that seems to be so common on modern scooters and motorcycles. If I try something and I don't like it, I don't buy it.
@@barryervin8536 2 years ago my friend bought a motorcycle from China he let me try to ride it..I was driving 50 per hour and.when I tried to brake the brakes fell off the wheels then I fell cut my body and had 2 nose operations ...My friend bought junk from China..And I don't like Chinese anything.and I don't like Chinese people and their products.🤮
You can squeeze 2 medium sized full face helmets,but you might damage the clips that hold the seat closed. But, you can easily fit one full face and one jet helmet.
Did the X-Town get ABS on the rear wheel for 2021? Previous years only had it on the front. It looks like it has a sensor and speed sensor ring on the back now.
This is a good question and I had to do some digging. On the KYMCO USA website, the specification list only states “ABS” next to the “front brake” specs, and not the “rear brake” specs. However, on the official PDF from the KYMCO global website, it states the following text listed below. At this time the information is conflicting, as the USA site says one thing and the global site says another. “ Bosch ABS works with the front and rear brake disc to shorten the braking distance and provide stability. ※ Improved handling: the Bosch ABS works with the front/rear fork and highly rigid chassis to 9. provide a pleasant riding experience. “
@@shorecycles410 "Global" specs are sometimes different from US specs, especially when some countries require equipment that others don't. From what I can see in the video it looks like there is a speed sensor ring on the rear and it looks like there's a wire harness running to the rear along the rear brake hose. I know the older X-Town I looked at in a dealership (2019?) did not have rear ABS, but apparently European versions did. Kymco (and many other makers) make lots of errors in their advertising and never seem to correct them.. Right till the end the specs for the Like 200i claimed 2.8 ft. lb. of torque, which is ridiculous, I suspect they meant 8.2? 2.8 is 50cc territory.
I completely agree -- The reason I wanted to reference the international specs is that they support your contention. The rear wheel does indeed have a sensor at the wheel on these new 2021's, but I can't say for certain if/how this affects ABS. The US specs only list ABS at the front wheel. If you're looking at purchasing one in your area and want to clarify before purchase, I'd recommend giving KYMCO a call at 888-235-3417 to get the exact answer.
fake abs thats a thing? lol. Do you recommend this kymco or sym brand? tho on this 300 i am concerned about having rear indicators down low and not on the taillights You could get a 450lbs heavy duty capacity hitch carrier to transport it.
KYMCO and SYM both make excellent scooters, you can’t really go wrong with either. This X-Town 300 and the SYM Citycom both do great at the same things.
Sir, I recommend you Kimko x town 300 Abs and ... matte black color.. very nice, powerful, comfortable, not expensive to maintain.. While the Sym is nice, but the plastic and the finish are bad, it has faded a little in the sun, but the Kymko is very respected as quality..Greetings from Europe
It needs bigger tires as most scooters it makes it more comfortable on crappie roads.the plastic fender covering the entire rear wheel is a very nice touch

A very detailed overview. Got my like. :)
It looks well build. I love the analogue gauges and the regular key.

I like it. Why in the fock does Honda and Yamaha not offer a 300cc scooter in America? I am considering this Kymco more and more every day.
I've had my 300cc X-Town for 4 years now, it's super easy to change the oil, tops out at 85MPH. Been a great bike, never given me trouble.

You should take a ride on the Peugeot Geopolis. This is for medium and tall.

You mention the large 150 rear tire. Had to laugh, my 1984 Kawasaki Ninja 900 back in the day, had a 'fat' 130 rear tire. Progress... :)
In Malaysia this model is Modernas, Elegant 250cc
Yes, but it also a 250cc engine, while the Kymco X-Town has a 278cc engine, so there is a difference in top speed and overall performance
How did you open the seat without the battery? In Peugeot Geopolis, it opens only if there is one.
A peso French crap scooter like Chinese junk
I would like to wish everyone a happy purchase of this beautiful scooter!💙🤍❤
Thanks
Best touring bike ive ever ridden!
Beautiful and value for money i guess...
Is there enough space to fit 2 full face helmets ?
You can squeeze 2 medium sized full face helmets,but you might damage the clips that hold the seat closed. But, you can easily fit one full face and one jet helmet.
@@georgem2456 thanks
Actually, I tried fitting 2 medium sized full face helmets and they fit perfectly, without damaging the clips ! I was very surprised !

Good question, as it's the rear that usually, easily, locks up.
NOT TRUE! ....it always had dual channel ABS euro standards are all motorcycle over 200cc must have ABS both wheels
Power to weight ratio is .06. Good indicator of what the engine can do.
what can it do?

You can actually buy a rear stop light that attaches to the back of your helmet and works with a g-meter. Amazing tech.

Does it vibrate at speeds over 65 mph?
In our road tests we experienced a noticeable increase in vibration at 80 mph. Between 65-75mph feels about the same.
@@shorecycles410 I don't understand why it vibrates?
What year is this?
This is a 2021
Do u guys offer lalaway
We do not
What's the top speed of this scooter?
Somewhere around 80 mph
I drove it at the highest rate of 140 per hour..
125км/ч или 77mile

Have you ever ridden the Forza 300 😂😆 this thing is a dream compared to that on US roads.
lone wanderer... are you saying the kymco is better than the forza? just not sure what you're implying, no judgements, just want clarification
@@davidsatterwhite9681 I want to know too wth
@@davidsatterwhite9681 The Kimko is better than a lot of European scooters
Is it possible to know the price
Pricing depends on your country. In the USA this scooter is $4549 plus tax etc.
Kat Malaysia RM15K+
407 dry? Thought it was lighter.
Price in India?
Check your countries Kymco website...
Why do we keep getting old models Kymko? US a big market but we get treated like the bastard illegitimate child.
did not even ride the bike, thumbs down.
