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.
