Kymco AK550: The Challenger!
In recent years, Kymco has risen in the segment of the maxi scooters, it is undeniable. However, this segment of the market remains largely dominated by its Japanese and German competitors. But that was without counting on the temerity of the Taiwanese brand that presents us its Kymco AK550.
The AK550 arrives in a segment where nobody was waiting for the mark. Seductive, powerful, comfortable and equipped with serious equipment, the young Taiwanese promises to elbows to make a place in the sun!
The AK550 seems to have many assets to stand out. In addition to its modern design, it is above all its characteristics that speak: a 550 cc twin-cylinder delivering 53 hp at 7,500 rpm and a torque of 5.5 mkg at 5,500 rpm. All stowed in an aluminum frame, please! To stop all this, it was necessary to appeal to Brembo.
As on board, the AK550 reserves many surprises. Practical equipment, the Keyless saves you the need to remove the key from your scooter, it is now in the pocket. The tire pressure gauge or the USB socket are also appreciated.
But it is especially the Noodoe solution that will mark the spirit. Presented at the last Salon of Milan, this application transforms your classic 2-wheel into a connected scooter! Indeed, it will be possible to display a lot of information on the central counter of the scooter. Weather, points of interest or even e-mails and messages (and maybe soon GPS), the application guides you every day, under certain security conditions, of course.
A small wonder of technology that promises to be a true rival of the Yamaha Tmax and other BMW 650 GT. It is now available in the Kymco network at a price of € 9,890. Stay well connected to La Revue Automobile, our test is close ...
