Kymco People Gt 300
The Kymco People Gt 300 has a top speed of 135 km/h, produces 20 hp and weighs 168 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
De KYMCO People GT 300 werd rond 2010 geïntroduceerd als onderdeel van KYMCO's premium People GT-scooterassortiment, gericht op pendelaars in de stad en toerrijders die op zoek zijn naar een maxiscooter met een grotere cilinderinhoud en veel functies. Het was opmerkelijk omdat hij een krachtige 300 cc-motor met een sportief ontwerp, praktische opbergruimte en moderne functies bood tegen een concurrerende prijs in vergelijking met Europese rivalen. Het model heeft bijgedragen aan de versterking van de reputatie van KYMCO in het middelgrote scootersegment op de Europese en Aziatische markten.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Strong Engine Reliability
The KYMCO People GT 300 uses a proven single-cylinder fuel-injected engine known for consistent long-term reliability with regular oil changes. Many owners report 30,000+ km with minimal issues when properly maintained.
Watch the CVT Belt
The CVT drive belt is a common wear item that should be inspected every 10,000–12,000 km, as neglect can lead to sudden failure and costly repairs. Always ask for belt replacement history when buying used.
Decent Resale Retention
KYMCO scooters hold resale value reasonably well compared to lesser-known Asian brands, largely due to their reputation and available parts network. The GT 300's larger displacement makes it more desirable used than smaller commuter scooters.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Dependable urban workhorse that rewards buyers who inspect carefully."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe People GT 300 is one of those scooters that punches well above its price bracket, especially used. Kymco built something genuinely competent here — the 278cc single pulls cleanly from low revs, tops out around 85mph without drama, and the underseat storage will swallow a full-face helmet. It's not exciting, but it's honest, and for urban commuting plus occasional highway hops, that matters more than you'd think. Buy used and you're getting solid value, but go in with eyes open. These age around the plastics first — check for brittle clips, faded panels, and cracked fairings near the footboards. The CVT belt needs replacing every 12,000 miles and owners often skip it. Front suspension is underdamped from the factory and previous owners rarely upgrade it. Brakes are adequate but nothing more. Spend time inspecting the service history. A well-maintained GT 300 with 15,000 miles is a bargain. A neglected one with 8,000 is a parts hunt waiting to happen.
