Kymco People S 300

The Kymco People S 300 has a top speed of 135 km/h (estimated), produces 20 hp and weighs 163 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.

KYMCO People S 300 є частиною довготривалої серії скутерів KYMCO People, яка є основним продуктом лінійки тайванського виробника з кінця 1990-х років. People S 300 був представлений в середині 2010-х років як елітний, стильний міський максі-скутер, орієнтований на гонщиків, які хотіли практичного, але преміального щоденного поїзда з високими характеристиками. Він виділяється поєднанням сучасного стилю, потужного двигуна 300 куб.см та практичних функцій зберігання, що робить його одним із флагманських пропозицій KYMCO у сегменті скутерів середнього об'єму.

Що повинні знати покупці

🔧

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.

City commuters wanting affordable, reliable daily transport

"Dependable urban workhorse that rewards budget-conscious commuters, nothing more."

$2,500-$4,500 used

The People S 300 is Kymco doing what Kymco does best — building a sensible, unfussy scooter that won't embarrass you but won't thrill you either. The 286cc single pulls cleanly through traffic and genuinely holds highway speeds without drama, which puts it ahead of the 150cc crowd. Fit and finish is surprisingly decent for the money, and parts availability has improved considerably as these have become more common in North America. Used, you're looking at a solid commuter proposition. The CVT transmission is smooth and predictable, fuel economy hovers around 70mpg in real-world riding, and the underseat storage swallows a full-face helmet without argument. Check the variator rollers and drive belt on anything over 15,000 miles — they're cheap fixes but get ignored. Suspension is soft by any sporty measure, which actually works in your favour on broken urban tarmac. Just don't expect it to feel like a Burgman.
