I've had my Kymco a little over a year and use it primarily for work. I'm a pastor and make frequent visits to hospitals, nursing homes and parishioners' homes, so getting there economically is important. Most trips are 10 miles one-way, but I often combine visits to put on 50 or 60 miles in one trip.


I used to ride a motorcycle back in the day, but the scooter fits my needs better. Besides, my bike looks cool, and a lot of people stop me & ask me about it.

Did I mention that it's fun? Sometimes, after a difficult day, I'll take it out on a country road for a short 10-15 mile ride and that washes away the tension.

mileage
by: Chuck Kramer

I'm getting about 65-70 I think. I'm not sure I'm riding as the manufacturers intended because I'm pushing it to max speed virtually every time I get on. It seems to be holding up, but given my actual needs -- 5-10 miles at or near highway speed each way -- I might have chosen a more powerful bike.

What's the mileage on it? It sounds like it's been getting its share of time on the road.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
