The Kymco looks like a great midsized scoot.
If I were buying something that size, I would probably spend a few hundred
more dollars for a BV350. More info at the link.

Might be a super nice scooter....but what's up with that seat. How do you mount this thing, leg over the top, or step thru? Think I'd have trouble getting my foot thru that space in front of the seat...These scooter manufacturers need to realize that the average American isn't 5'6" and 145 lbs. Wouldn't it be nice if it were offered with 2 or 3 seat options....with the price where it is, seems to me this would be doable.

If you want a flat floored maxi scooter, the Vespa 300 GTS is about the only choice.
The BV350 is a little easier to mount than the Kymco.
