Scooter: Kymco Downtown 300i – the fastest of its class

The scooters has developed the 300-class in recent years to a very popular segment. Especially fast and also inexpensive is the new Kymco scooter from Taiwan.

Why just 300 scooters? Quite simply because you provide proper performance at attractive prices. Nevertheless, the new Kymco Downtown 300i stands out here. Because of narrow-lane thick ship, the Taiwaner supplies driving levels, with which he can equip a floor higher. The newly developed engine is due to the downtown of the strongest and fastest representatives of its displacement class.
The single-cylinder engine offers a power of 33 hp – in this country does not have a competitor only approximately about so much power. Competition will not exist anyway from autumn, and that comes with the People GT 300 on top of that from their own house. Although the luxury scooter is empty 179 kilograms on the scales, it does not surprise thanks to the drive that the downtown reaches 130 km / h as top speed and can also be made in the spurt at Tempo 100 also several 400 and 500s.

300 kilometers from the piece

But the Kymco can drive more than just fast. He is quite agile despite his stately 2.20 meters in length and can be easily ranked as well as well about curves. Unrest comes into the chassis only when the quality of the substrate is left to be desired. Otherwise, the downtown is a comfortable journey on which one endures it for a while without urgent breakage. For longer stages on the highway under full throttle, there is naturally a relatively high consumption, which is at Kymco 4.4 liter superbin at 100 kilometers. If you are in a leisurely pace, you can press consumption without trouble under four liters per 100 kilometers and comes well over 300 kilometers thanks to the 12.5 liter tank.

Only a few weaknesses

So beautiful and well readable The instruments are in the cockpit, so annoying is that the fuel gauge is not particularly reliable: 75 kilometers long, she suggests a marginal tank to remove disproportionately and to tackle too early to refuel. Since the two daily kilometer counter for the range calculation are significantly more reliable. Otherwise, however, the fleet of Taiwaner deserves good grades for the cleanly dosable and well-retarded brakes, the good, vibration-free rearview mirror, the solid and functional switches and buttons, the illuminated and with 12 volt socket storage compartment under the bench as well as the good wind – and weather protection bidding. However, a little more space in the storage compartment would be desirable for the two helmets – they just fit in.
At a price of 4895 euros, the Kymco Downtown 300i is one of the most attractive offers in the big scooters, as it does not just ride fast, but also looks good and represents a solid processed vehicle. Who has the right driver’s license and tooth with a big scooter, should drive this model sample. The only reason to hesitate, could be waiting for the ABS version: that is only available from autumn at the dealer and costs 300 euros more.
