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 Like 200i is one of a couple of new 2010 Kymco models that were presented at the 2009 EIMCA show, and it builds on the smaller Like model with decent quality at an affordable price.

The Kymco Like 200i has a 163 cc engine with 8.1 kW of power and a top speed of nearly 120 km in hour for those days when you’re late for work on the ring road. It has a front disc brake and rear drum brake, with 12-inch alloy wheels. The front suspension features hydraulic forks and the rear includes adjustable dampers.

The Like 200i comes with electric and kick start feature, a standard top box in tint with the scooter, a digital clock and halogen headlamp. On the European market it costs about 2,100 euros, which is very reasonable for a city scooter ride.
