The 2017 Kymco People GT 300i ABS is a scooter designed for urban commuting and longer rides, continuing Kymco's tradition of offering practical and reliable transportation. It competes directly with other mid-size scooters like the Honda SH300i and the Yamaha XMAX 300, offering a balance of performance, features, and value in the scooter segment.

Torque is rated at 29.8 Nm (3.0 kgf-m or 22.0 ft.lbs) at 6250 RPM, providing ample low-end grunt for quick acceleration from a standstill and confident passing maneuvers. The scooter's dry weight comes in at 165.0 kg (363.8 pounds), contributing to its nimble handling. The fuel tank capacity is 9.00 litres (2.38 US gallons), allowing for decent range between fill-ups.

The People GT 300i ABS offers a comfortable riding experience, with a seat height of 810 mm (31.9 inches) at its lowest setting, which should accommodate a wide range of rider sizes. The scooter's upright riding position provides good visibility and control, making it well-suited for navigating crowded city streets.

The 2017 Kymco People GT 300i ABS is aimed at riders seeking a practical and economical mode of transportation. Its combination of a strong engine, reasonable weight, and comfortable ergonomics makes it a solid choice for daily commuting and weekend trips.
