Kymco Australia announce new Like 150 R scooter

“We are excited to release the new Like, as this scoot is the ‘pièce de résistance’ of the KYMCO range. Offering an abundance of features in a great looking scooter and of course at affordable price,” says Kymco Australia Director Michael Poynton.

Key improvements on the new Like 150 R are a completely new 9.9KW, four-valve engine that boasts an impressive 16 per cent power increase over its predecessor, making it the most powerful scooter in its class. Further refinement has made the new power plant smoother, quieter and result in a more comfortable ride.

New framework, including the use of a bi-beam frame design and relocating the Likes fuel tank has enhanced the scooters handling characteristics and lowered its center of gravity. These improvements give the rider a better-balanced machine and make the scooter lighter to handle.

Traditional telescopic front fork and twin adjustable shock absorbers at the rear. High rigidity, lightweight 12” wheels contribute to the Like’s agile handling and look the part. Nothing but the best in safety, the Like 150 R is fitted with Bosch ABS brakes, the most reliable and fastest acting emergency braking system currently on the market.

Modern features include LED lighting, usb charging ports and KYMCO’s Noodoe dashboard technology where you can pair your smart phone with the dashboard display.

The Like 150 R will be the second KYMCO model to have this new user interface that provides the rider with navigation aids, smart phone notifications, custom dash display options and you can even construct and share your very own custom display through an online social community.
