About Kymco
Country of Origin:
Taiwan
Founder:
Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd.
Best Known For:
Reliable scooters/ATVs (Agility, Like, AK 550) and OEM partnerships
Company History
Born from Taiwan’s manufacturing rise, Kymco earned trust by building parts and complete vehicles for global OEMs, then parlayed that discipline into its own strong scooter and ATV lines. City staples like the Agility and Like balance price, durability, and easy parts access, while the AK 550 and adventure-leaning DT X360 push into premium territory with traction control, ABS, and touring capability. Kymco’s dealer networks emphasize practical ownership—spares on shelves, straightforward service intervals, and cold-start reliability that matters more than flash. The brand also experiments with electrics and energy platforms, reflecting Taiwan’s e-mobility leadership. Historically, Kymco stands for Taiwan’s middle-path excellence: machines that just work, from student commute to island-wide tour. For many riders, a Kymco is the first proof that ‘value’ can mean well-made, backed, and enjoyable—an appliance with enough personality to be loved.
