Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
Kymco stopped offering motorcycles in the USA, you can still get a new 2009 Quannon 150, they are still advertising them on Cycle trader.

These come with a 150cc 4-valve rated at about 14.5hp.
The other bike Kymco offered at one time, to the US market, was the VENOX 250 which was their version of a
Honda VT250

You recognize these?

Its a moped, it has pedals, but still an underbone.
I do not see pedals on the Colt do you, where I reside to be legally classified as a moped it has to have peddles and under 1 braking hp and or a top speed of 20mph.
This does not have peddles, it has a gear shifter.

I always wondered what the "C" in CUB stood for.
Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
Yes, "underbonе" is "form factor", but I use that word in order to avoid to call Cub - a Cub, because it is still the name of only one popular model. But yes - I think that this turquoise two-wheeler can not be categorized as Cub. He is mokick (motor - kickstarter).
The laws are different in different countries. This category "pedals, up to 1 h.p., up to 20 mph" does not exist in most European countries (perhaps in Germany still exist their MoFa two-wheeler class; I don't know), has long been agreed to standard "up to 50 cc and up to 45 kph", regardless of starting method and type of transmission.
Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
Yeah these look like a classic Vespa Moped but they are not Mopeds though they are auto shifters. Moped have one speed, twist and go and pedal if you are going to slow.

Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
Well, not always one speed. My first motor driven two-wheeler, '82. Tomos Automatic 3M, had a centrifugal clutch and two gears, where the engine switch into second gear when bike reaches 22-23 kph. Oh, and you could choose version with pedals and with kickstarter.
BTW, Piaggio's models such are Si, Grande, Ciao, Grillo, Superbravo, etc - they all are with CVTs.
Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
As usual we go way off the track…..
These sell for $250-300 each out of China and come with a 50cc, I think they need a 110cc at least they would for me to keep up with traffic at 50cc I think I would get run over in the city, they need to go 40-45mph, I do not believe the claims of top speed for the 50cc of 60-80kph
They also sell them as a FOX?

Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
The ZF250 actually looks pretty good, I really cannot see anything wrong with it. Nothing looks like a copy of anything else, the bits look really good on it.
I believe it has a DOHC it is rated at 19.5 hp and they say it has a CV carburetor, I like to see the gauge cluster they avoid any images of the gauges? . But they have images of the rest and all the part look to be of good quality.

Re: ZF-KYMCO 西藏新珠峰摩托车有限公司
Anyone care to guess why it is that the KYMCO K-PIPE 125 is being sold as the K-PIE in China?
http://i784.photobucket.com/albums/y...8a5d0fef86.jpg
They could have called it the K-PI, then somebody may have found the divergence as entertaining for a reason less...stupid?
