history

Kymco is a Taiwanese company founded in 1963 and headquartered in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Although the company is usually described as the largest scooter manufacturer in the country, Kymco also developed motorcycles and ATVs.

Initially working as a motorcycle part manufacturer for Honda, Kymco managed to launch its first scooter in 1970. What's interesting is that Kymco set up a separate production line for the United States, operated by the local subsidiary headquartered in South Carolina. The Kymco USA subsidiary introduced no less than 15 scooters and 9 ATVs which recorded a moderate success on the local market.

Talking about the motorcycles manufactured by Kymco, it's worth mentioning that the majority of the company's vehicles were produced between 2004 and 2008. For instance, the 125 Stryker, the Agility, the Dink, the Maxxer, the People, the Venox 250 and the Xciting were all produced in the last few years. However, note that the company operates under the Kymco brand since 1992.

The interesting aspect is that these motorcycles are equipped with both a powerful engine and advanced features. For example, the Kymco 125 Stryker, a motorcycle manufactured in 2004, comes with a single cylinder engine equipped with an air cooling system which could produce 11.8 horsepower at 9000rpm and a torque of 9Nm at 7500rpm. In addition, the motorcycle has disc front brakes and drum rear brakes as well as a 5-speed gearbox.

The Venox 250 cruiser is one of the most known bikes ever produced by Kymbo, being equipped with a single cylinder engine producing 27 horsepower at 10500rpm. Just like the other models, the bike has disc front brakes and drum rear brakes. In addition, the bike comes with a wet, multidisc clutch and a 5-speed gearbox as well as with a tubular steel structure frame.
