KYMCO unveils 2013 scooter lineup

KYMCO USA is offering three all-new scooters and a redesigned Xciting 500 Ri ABS in its 2013 lineup.

The new Compagno 50i and Compagno 110i each feature a classic design with the inner workings of a modern machine, according to KYMCO.

The 50i has an air-cooled, 49.5 cc, three-valve, fuel-injected SOHC engine. The 189-pound scooter also features a 29-inch seat height, underseat storage, an LCD fuel gauge and clock, foldaway passenger pegs, a magnetic key lock and a secure gas cap for its 1.45-gallon fuel tank. The 50i is available in black or white, both highlighted by silver accents, and it retails at $2,599.

The Compagno 110i has the same features and amenities, but it’s powered by an air-cooled, 112 cc, four-valve, fuel-injected SOHC engine. At $2,999, the 110i is available in light blue or metallic mocha.

Also new is the Movie 150, a modern mid-size urban commuter. It is propelled by a carbed and air-cooled 149 cc four-valve, 4-stroke, SOHC engine producing 13.5 hp. It weighs 250 pounds dry and rolls on 110/70-12 front and 130/70-12 rear tires. The Movie 150 features single disc front and rear brakes, underseat storage, a 30.7 seat height and a nearly two-gallon fuel tank. It’s available in tangerine or black, both with red performance-accented rear suspension spring and brake calipers. The MSRP is $3,199.

The Xciting 500 Ri ABS has been redesigned for 2013. The largest displacement premium model in the lineup, it’s powered by a 38 hp, fuel injected, liquid-cooled, 499 cc DOHC engine. The 440-pound scooter has a 61.8-inch wheelbase and a 30.7-inch seat height, telescopic front fork and dual adjustable hydraulic shocks, bump-absorbing 120/70-15 front and 150/70-14 rear tires and a 3.38 gallon fuel tank slung low to optimize the center of gravity. It also features dual disc brakes with twin-pot calipers up front and a single disc brake with dual piston caliper in the rear. Stopping power is provided by new generation Bosch ABS, and a hand-pull parking brake is also included. Other amenities include underseat storage, a lockable glove box, a 12-volt accessory outlet and traditional gauges as well as a clock, odometer, a multi-function trip meter and fuel and temperature sensors. The Xciting 500 Ri ABS is available in gray or gold, both with red performance-accented rear suspension spring and brake calipers, for $6,899.
