Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of any experience level, including newer riders stepping up from smaller scooters thanks to the automatic CVT and manageable power.
PurposeBuilt primarily as a comfortable, practical urban and suburban commuter with enough power for occasional longer rides.
Rider FitThe low 810mm seat height and light 165kg weight make it easy to handle for shorter or less experienced riders, with minimal physical strain in traffic.
CharacterA practical, easygoing maxi-scooter personality that favors comfort, weather protection, and storage convenience over outright performance.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering performance, high-speed touring, or any off-road capability.

2017 Kymco People GT 300I ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 810mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2017 Kymco People GT 300I ABS, with a moderate knee angle of around 110 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
