Kind of like the station wagon model in the Kymco scooter line-up, the Agility Carry 50 4t is all about versatility and space on board the small scooter. Despite the popularity of Piaggio Group models in Europe, Kymco has been enjoying its own modest success of late, thanks to a complete model range and good value for money. This new model adopts past philosophies about the practicality of work vehicles, particularly in an urban context, and puts them together in a small but functional scooter.

The Kymco Agility Carry 50 4t is designed as a work horse (or pony, in this case?), but which can also be used for recreational riding, too. It’s a kind of new scooter crossover between work and free time and has a number of different storage options and functions. The heart of the scooter is the underseat space which is in a circular shape. There are both front and rear luggage racks and the foot area can hold a hard case carrier.

The model has the same young look as the standard Agility scooter, but with a touch of functionality too. The luggage areas are made from hard plastic and have heavyduty side handles so that the scooter can be easily moved. As we get from the pics, it makes it easy to carry bread by day, and beer by night.

The Carry Kymco model is based on the Agility R12 with 12-inch wheels which is considered the most agile and stable of the Kymco 50cc models. The moto is a 50cc, four-stroke EURO2. Future versions will include a two-stroke 50cc, and a four-stroke 125cc. Colours are white or orange and the price, often the strong point for Kymco, is quite incredible at just €1,699. Additional accessories include the windshield and a document carry case.

The new Piaggio Beverly Tourer 300i will have a new competitor this summer in the form of the new Kymco People GTi 300. The new Kymco scooter will be released sometime this month and is equipped with a four-stroke, 300cc, liquid cooled engine with 28.7 hp and 30 Nm. It has electronic ignition and a nine-litre tank capacity.

The People GTi 300 for 2010 is available in silver, white, black and orange, with the latter showing off a sporty style. The Kymco scooter has a tubular steel chassis with an hydraulic 37 mm fork and adjustable twin suspension at the rear. The brakes are a twin discs both rear and front measuring 260 mm.

The Kymco People GTi 300 has front wheels of 3×16 inches and rear at 3.5×16 both with five spoke design. They are shod with tyres of 110/70-16 at the front and 140/70-16 at the rear. The total weight of the scooter is 177 kg. The instrumentation is an analogical-digital mix with odometer, fuel and temperature indicator and a digital clock.

Other features include storage space with light and 12V socket for mobile devices or MP3 players. As this is a preview from the guys at Motoblog.it we’re still waiting on pricing and availability details on the European market.

Another snazzy scooter for 2010 is the Kymco People GT300i. It’s a new model for the People range, with a larger engine taken from the Xciting and Downtown models. The People GT300i will debut next spring and should provide some competition to the Honda SH300.

This Kymco People model has 32.8 hp, compared to the Honda’s 27 hp, and a modern and captivating style. The 16-inch wheels are an option that is often very successful on the European market, and to up the ante even more, the People GT300i has components in tint to provide the finishing touch on mirrors, top box etc.

To match the engine, the braking system is equally powerful with front and rear 260 mm discs with three piston, floating callipers. The seat is low and wide for a high wheel scooter, with a flat foot area, hook to secure luggage and a 12V power outlet. No pricing has been released, but the Kymco People GT300i should have a competitive option.

In our scooter a day series is the new Kymco Like 200i, which has that mix of modern and retro style that seems to be successful in the European market.

The Kymco Xciting range seems to be on a winner and has developed the models into an ‘R’ version to indicate the added sports style and performance. Previously appreciated for its quality-price ratio, it takes an extra step in 2009 with this new model.

The Xciting R design is sleek and clean, and now has a totally new front, giving that essential sports touch. LED technology is being used, and the tail has a new look with new handle and ergonomic features. Black is definitely back and is more agressive.

The two different engine options satisfy different users. The 500cc has electronic ignition, is liquid cooled and has four valves with twin cam in the style of sports motorcycles. It has a maximum power of 28.2 kW (38.4 hp) at 7,000 rpm and torque of 41.1 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The weight is 221 kg and it has a top speed of 147 km/hr.

The Xciting 300 R is on sale for 4,499 euros and the 500 R for 5,399 euros. Colours available are black, orange, blue and white.

The 2009 Kymco Xciting confirms that this model has evolved such to confirm it has maintained its relevance over time, updated to keep up with developments. The new Xciting will be available in the classic 300 and 500 cc, in the “R” version.

The look has been overhauled with a new front that’s agressive and futuristic, with a double headlight. The rear is characterised by an LED light and new racing style paint work.

The front headlights are also LED, with reduced consumption and longer durability, while the indicators have been tucked in to the scooter, to maintain its smooth lines. The touches to the rear of the Kymco Xciting include a sporty rear handle in a style that gives the scooter more grunt. For more information on this new version of the Kymco Xciting, go to Kymco.

The Kymco Agility is being updated for 2009 with a new sports version called Agility RS. It will be available in two versions of 125cc and 50cc. The sports ideal behind this scooter can be seen in the completely new look, with sports instrumentation, and bag carrier in silver colour. The engine will be a single cylinder four stroke.

It seems that the commercial roll-out plan is still in a phase of development, as there is no decision yet as to whether this will be released in Europe. An eventual introduction to the Italian market, for instance, is still to be evaluated.
