Kymco People S 300
The KYMCO People S 300 is part of KYMCO's long-running People scooter series, which has been a staple of the Taiwanese manufacturer's lineup since the late 1990s. The People S 300 was introduced in the mid-2010s as an upmarket, stylish urban maxi-scooter targeting riders who wanted a practical yet premium daily commuter with strong performance. It stands out for its combination of modern styling, a capable 300cc engine, and practical storage features, making it one of KYMCO's flagship offerings in the mid-displacement scooter segment.

What Buyers Should Know
Solid Taiwanese Reliability
KYMCO has built a strong reputation for dependable engines, and the People S 300 benefits from a proven single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor that routinely reaches 30,000+ km with minimal issues when properly maintained.
Watch the CVT Belt
The most common issue reported by owners is premature CVT belt wear, especially under heavy loads or aggressive riding. Inspect and replace the drive belt around every 10,000–15,000 km to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Decent Resale Value
The People S 300 holds resale value better than many Chinese-made competitors, largely due to KYMCO's trusted brand name. Used examples in good condition typically retain 55–65% of their value after two to three years.
