The KYMCO Spade out classes most of the bikes in the playbike category. The vertical 150cc, efi, counter-balanced engine with a 5-speed transmission is a game changer in this category. It’s much faster than the GROM and the Z125 Pro. It takes a lot of money to equal this bike. By the time you buy, let’s just say a SSR Razkull 125 and add an zs190 engine, you have more into it than a Spade costs. You make your choice and you pay for what you want. I just wanted to buy once.
The aftermarket for this bike will explode. MNNTHBX has plans for at least a 200cc engine kit. My Spade has been modified, it has an exhaust, a tuner, and a modified airbox. The weight has been dropped a good bit as well. This thing is seriously fast. Stock the Spade will dust a stock GROM that only has a 60mph top speed. Stock my Spade went 68mph. It should do well over 75 at this point. Maybe more. I haven’t tested the top speed yet. I’ll be trying to get to 80mph.
The Spade is a really great bike. Yes, the vertical engine is better.
