2017
The 2017 Kymco Super 8 50 X is a scooter aimed at providing accessible and economical transportation. Continuing the Super 8 lineage, this model offers a practical solution for urban commuting. It competes directly with scooters like the Yamaha Zuma 50F and Honda Metropolitan, offering a similar displacement engine and focus on ease of use.
Powering the Super 8 50 X is a 49.0 ccm (2.99 cubic inches) engine. While not a powerhouse, it provides adequate propulsion for navigating city traffic. The engine produces 4.1 Nm (0.4 kgf-m or 3.0 ft.lbs) of torque at 7000 RPM, which helps with initial acceleration from a standstill. The scooter's relatively light weight of 95.5 kg (210.5 pounds) also contributes to its responsiveness. Fuel capacity is 4.92 litres (1.30 US gallons), allowing for decent range between fill-ups.
The Kymco Super 8 50 X is designed for ease of use and maneuverability. The seating position is upright and comfortable for shorter journeys. The seat height of 780 mm (30.7 inches) makes it accessible for a wide range of riders. The scooter's nimble handling characteristics make it easy to navigate crowded urban environments and park in tight spaces. Its focus is on providing a practical and straightforward riding experience.
The 2017 Kymco Super 8 50 X is primarily targeted at new riders, students, and anyone seeking an affordable and convenient way to get around town. It's a sensible choice for those prioritizing fuel efficiency and ease of operation over outright speed or long-distance comfort. If you're looking for a no-frills, reliable scooter for short commutes, the Super 8 50 X is a contender.
✅ Why buy this bike?
• Extremely fuel efficient, offering excellent mileage for budget-conscious riders and daily commuting. • Lightweight and nimble handling makes it easy to maneuver through congested city streets and tight spaces. • Affordable purchase price makes it an accessible entry-level option for new scooter riders. • Simple air-cooled engine design ensures easy maintenance and relatively low repair costs. • Sporty styling and distinctive design elements differentiate it from other basic 50cc scooters. • Adequate under-seat storage for a helmet and small personal belongings enhances practicality.⚠️ Things to consider
• Limited top speed and acceleration make it unsuitable for highway use or carrying heavy loads. • Small engine displacement struggles on steep inclines or when riding against strong headwinds. • Basic suspension components offer a somewhat harsh ride quality on rough road surfaces. • Drum brakes provide adequate stopping power but lack the responsiveness of disc brakes, especially in wet conditions.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
