In a sea of scooters, the Kymco KRV 180i manages to soar above the crowd. It’s the world’s first compact scooter to feature an independent swingarm derived from the motorbike architecture of its bigger brother, the AK 550 maxi-scooter. It features ABS, traction control, LED lighting, and even a nifty keyless system.
The TCS model also gets an upgrade from the previous KRV DDS, with a chain instead of a belt driving the rear wheel. The chain-driven system supposedly allows for easier and more affordable customization, smoother acceleration, and lower maintenance costs.
