Newbie here... Scooter recommendations for tall riders

[cavenger]

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.

[cavenger]

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

[kz1000st]

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

[wheelbender6]

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.
