Kymco Cv3
The Kymco Cv3 has a top speed of ~180 km/h (estimated; official figure not confirmed for production), produces ~60 hp and weighs ~280 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.8/10.
Der Kymco CV3 ist ein dreirädriges Maxi-Scooter-Konzept, das auf der EICMA-Motorradmesse 2019 in Mailand vorgestellt wurde und mit seinem futuristischen Design und der neigbaren Dreiradplattform für Aufsehen sorgte. Er wurde als Paradebeispiel für die technischen Ambitionen von Kymco entwickelt. Er verfügt über einen 550-cm3-Parallelmotor und einen fortschrittlichen Neigungsmechanismus für die doppelten Vorderräder. Nach den neuesten verfügbaren Informationen war der CV3 noch nicht in Serienproduktion gegangen und blieb ein hochkarätiges Konzept/Prototyp, das Kymcos Absicht verdeutlicht, im Premium-Dreiradsegment gegen Konkurrenten wie den Yamaha Niken anzutreten.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Three-Wheel Maxi Scooter
The KYMCO CV3 is a tilting three-wheel maxi scooter with a 550cc parallel-twin engine, making it one of the few tilting trikes in its class. This design offers car-like stability while still delivering a dynamic leaning ride experience.
Watch the Front Suspension
The complex tilting front suspension mechanism requires careful maintenance and can be costly to repair if neglected. Buyers should inspect the front linkage for wear, play, or unusual noises before purchasing used.
Niche Resale Market
As a relatively rare and unconventional vehicle, the CV3 has a limited resale market, which can make it harder to sell quickly compared to mainstream scooters. However, dedicated buyers in the tilting trike niche often seek them out, keeping values reasonably stable.
Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A clever used bargain if the front suspension checks out clean."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe CV3 is genuinely interesting used buy territory because Kymco priced it aggressively new, meaning depreciation has already done most of the heavy lifting for you. It's a three-wheeled scooter sitting somewhere between a Piaggio MP3 and a Can-Am Spyder in concept, but considerably cheaper than either. The 550cc engine pulls adequately for urban commuting and light highway work, and that leaning trike front end actually inspires more confidence than you'd expect in corners — it's not a gimmick once you trust it. The honest concerns used are build quality inconsistencies and parts availability. Kymco's dealer network is thin in many regions, so if something goes wrong electronically, you're potentially waiting. Check the front suspension mechanism meticulously on any used example — it's the most complex and expensive thing on it. Service records matter here more than most bikes. That said, if it checks out mechanically, you're getting a practical, weather-resistant commuter with genuine novelty factor at a price that makes sense.
