Say hello to the Kymco People 50 Scooter or should I say “Ciao”. The classic Euro styling of this affordable little model brings the “cool” back to scooters.
Great for going across town, the Kymco motor in the People 50 has a very peppy 50cc engine. But don’t let the 50cc size fool you, the two-stroke motor revs quickly to get you up to speed in city traffic. The large padded seat provides for comfortable riding and with the 1.8 gallon tank, you’ll get lots of drive time at close to 80 miles a gallon making it possible for your wallet to remain comfortably nestled in your pocket. The sixteen-inch wheels provide stability and the telescopic forks coupled with the single rear shock will have you sailing down city streets in relative ease. The luggage rack and under seat storage offers some considerable space to carry enough items for a day trip.
Stopping the nimble scooter is done with a front disk brake and a hearty rear drum brake. Imagine having a CVT automatic transmission that makes the scooter easy to ride, no shifting required, just twist the throttle and be on your way.
There are also some stylish add-ons from Kymco scooter parts. The Chrome Muffler Protector will add just the right accent to the exhaust system while protecting your muffler. Another great accessory to add to your scooter is the buddy seat for two-up riding, so bring along a friend to enjoy the ride. If you need to keep the wind off your face, Kymco also offers two types of windshields for your scooter; the KYMCO Sport Windshield (12” high) or the KYMCO Touring Windshield (16” high). The Kymco People 50 scooter also has several colors to choose from such as Black/Ivory, Blue/Ivory, Green/White, Wineberry and Silver. Between the ample color and accessory choices, you’ll get to design your own People 50 scooter for a look that reflects your personality.
The classic retro appeal of the People 50 will turn heads while giving you reliability and the freedom to break away from the pumps. It offers an affordable way to get to school, work or just around town. Just picture yourself and a friend taking a quick weekend trip down to the nearest café for a little espresso and biscotti or some icy lemon gelato. Join the scooter revolution and discover that you were born to ride. Ciao Bella!
