Newbie here... Scooter recommendations for tall riders
 
This is my first scooter and I am about 6'2 and comfort for me is a big issue with bad knees. Thanks everyone!

For a tall guy, I would look for a "big wheel" scooter like this Kymco Citycom. There are mainland Chinese big wheel scooters available in smaller 50 and 150cc models.

is it a sym citicom or Kymco or are those one in the same?

That's an SYM. Kymco and SYM are two different companies.

KZ is right. The big wheeled Kymco is the "People".

Sat on a few rides last winter, I am 5'10" and the following ones were pretty comfortable.

Kymco Xciting
Suzuki Burgman
Honda Reflex/Forza

The Kymco People & Downtown had me bending my knees. As far as I can tell, there is no flat-board scoot where someone your size won't have your knees scrunched up 90 degrees when riding it, footboards are way too close.

Thank you....I can see you are right. I actually found a deal on a SYM Citicom 300i. I have very long legs so even it is cramped, but I think I can adjust...and if not I am confident I can sell the scoot for a good price.
