The Downtown 300i is the new sport-tourer scooter from Kymco, with plenty of top-of-the-range options and great versatility.
The modern style is the work of Italian designer Massimo Zaniboni and shows both the comfort and dynamism that this scooter looks to offer.
The robust chassis has generous wheels (14-inch at the front and 13-inch at the rear), which guarantee maximum security and stability.
The 300i is equipped with a new tyre pressure monitoring system called TPM.
The double front led headlight is new, and the larger underseat storage can easily hold two helmets.
Riding position has been designed for maximum comfort and numerous pockets and storage options are available, including a 12V power outlet for cell phone recharge.
The instrument panel is elegant, including both digital and analogue elements, together with the tyre pressure control signal, maintenance signal and storage signal.
The scooter is equipped with a four-stroke, four valve engine, and its 300cc capacity gives it the grunt needed for a sport-tourer.
The new transmission and ignition systems make this a pleasingly technological scooter and highly fuel efficient.
Commercialisation is predicted for spring 2009, pricing is not yet available.
A 125cc version should follow, with electronic ignition.
