kymco agility
kymco, a reputable taiwanese manufacturer of scooters, makes the 4 stroke agility. i think there’s a knockoff chinese scooter brand with the agility brand name— don’t be fooled into thinking it’s the same scooter. kymco also makes the agility in larger engine sizes.
kymco agility (50cc):
3/24/13: $500, melrose, 2007 with 7000 miles, blue/black. the miles are a little high, but this is still a solid price for a solid scooter. go buy this already! if you don’t like, it you can probably sell it for $600 in a week or two when the weather gets nicer.
8/30/12: $700, kittery (me), 2009 with 400 miles, black/silver. if it runs well and you can transport it back to boston, this seems like a great deal for a quality scoot.
8/1/12: $1100, somerville, 2012 with 1400 miles, blue. derestricted, and can hit 47 mph. i usually don’t put modded scooter here, but it looks pretty stock. reposted on 8/26/12 for a higher(!) price of $1200.
6/2/12: $845, jamaica plain, 2007 with 1237 miles, red/black. minor scrapes, front left blinker held on with tape. if you know your scooter is going to get a little beat up anyways, you could do worse than this apparently reliable scooter.
4/25/12: $1400, methuen, 2007 with ??? miles (“practically unused”), grey.
4/16/12: $1000, everett, 2009 with 860 miles/1384 km, blue.
11/18/11: $1375, merrimac, 2011 with 167 miles, silver. reposted on 12/3/11.
10/6/11: $950, cambridge, 2009 with 1450 miles, silver.
9/18/11: $950, amesbury, 2009 with 1300 miles, includes storage trunk.
8/22/11: $1100, boston, 2007 with 900 miles, black/silver.
8/1/11: $1500, ipswich, 2008 with 900 miles, blue.
7/26/11: $1100, brookline/watertown, 2009 with 1800 miles, some performance mods to increase top speed, red and black. reposted on 8/28/11. reposted 10/19, price lowered to $900.
7/25/11: $1000, brookline/jp, 1700 miles, runs, but turn signals and electric start don’t work, silver and black. hm. really? $1000 for a kymco 50cc scooter with janky electrics? price lowered to $980 on 8/22/11; still probably not worth it. reposted on 8/29/11.
7/23/11: $700, mashpee, 2009 with 1936 miles, some scuffs, but runs, blue and black.
7/21/11: $1100, arlington, 2009 with 225 miles, black and blue.
125cc:
11/13/12: $1400, beverly, 2009 with 3500 km, silver/black.
11/13/12: $1400, wareham, 2011 with 175 miles, silver/black.
6/5/12: $1300, quincy, 2007 with 2000 miles, red/black. seems like a solid deal for a good 125cc scoot.
