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.

I was looking at some of there scooters. The quality is suppose to be up there with honda and the prices are just alittle less.

I like the xciting 500 model.

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

The quality is excellent. Definitely worth the price.

Nuff said!

That is good to know. I was trying to figure out if I needed anything more than a 250.

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.

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?
