Prototype 50cc Grom Scrambler

[Rams]

Get two, then hang them where your saddle bags mount.   Like carrying a spare.

I like the looks of the Gromm, but think it is overpriced for what you get, 50cc's is all and small in stature.  Better off with the Honda PCX150cc scooter or 250cc Honda Reflex scooter, better bang for your buck.  Have seen the 150 or 250cc Honda scooters used for sale at a decent priced vs. the Gromm being only 50cc.  But, for looks,  the Gromm is a winner in my book, although on the small side as compared to the 150 or 250cc's scooters by Honda that will go hwy. speeds and more comfy with better ergos. 

I own a 2008 Kymco people s250cc scooter bought with 8800 miles on it 4 years for 1 grand even and now has over 12,000 miles on it and fits me well getting 63 avg mpg with 91 octane fuel.  Very similar to the Honda Reflex but shorter windshield is all.  Besides,  I love passing Harley Davidson's on the open road puttzing along at 55 mph when I blow by them doing 70 mph on the scoot (top speed 75 mph).   Can't do that on the Gromm.

This would get me from the campground to the swap meet areas without taking much precious room for the treasures I find there. Will load and haul easily on the rack I built on the camper bumper.

Anyway, I wouldn't have a spare until I owned at least ten.  (eight grandkids)

Kymco makes pretty darn good scooters.  In 2012 my wife said she would probably ride a scooter.  One month later I brought her home a 250 Honda Reflex.  She rode it twice and it still scared her even though they are easier to ride than a bicycle.  However I found out what a blast it is to ride scooters.  I put a thousand miles on it, then sold it in less than a day for what I paid and went and bought a 2010 Kymco Xciting 500ri, fuel injected and ABS.  What a blast, you get away from every bike from the line.  Sold it early this year when I got the Valkyrie as only have room for 2 bikes.  Might break that rule next year as I am checking out The Yamaha Tmax either used or new that are said to ride like a sportbike.  I know they are comfortable to set on a fairings do good joy with the wind and weather.   For old timers or riders that what something more comfortable to ride I would definitely recommend a Maxi Scooter.    That Grom is to small for me and leg position but it is a beauty.

I had one in the '70's/ QA 50 Honda.
Neat little first bike that I out grew fast. But, it taught all my brothers and myself the coordination of hand and foot shifting.

[Jess from VA]

We had the Honda 70; after I went off to school.

My younger brother got to ride it all day every day and could wheelie it for a half mile.

Before I went off to school, I got to play in cardboard boxes.

Timing is everything.

The original  Honda z50 Mini Trail was not designed or marketed to kids, so.... you can't out grow 'em.
PLUS - it's got a "3" on it!

I rode a Grom at a local Bike Night and it was fun in its own way.  They are 125cc as I recall, not 50cc as stated above.  Unless the Scrambler version is rated 50cc. 

At another Bike Night there was a group of 8 that rode them in and those were set up for stunt riding purposes.  They do have a following....

Grom Scrambler prototype is 50cc. AND it's got a "3" on it. So it's gonna be fast.

Agree, Kymco is made in Taiwan I believe and just a shade behind HOnda quality in my book.  Little does anyone know Kymco made Honda scooter parts/engines for Honda way back when and are not the cheapo chinese garbage actually having real mom/pop stores to purchase parts/scoots or order online.  Same can be said for their Kymco ATV's,  well made also, and cheaper than Honda's as well.  I have no qualms over buying Kymco over Honda to save a grand or more.  It gets me from point a to point b at a cheap, reliable price. 

If I lived just in town and not the hwy. having to drive 60 mph,  I'd go with a 125 or 150cc but most are not liquid cooled engines as the 250cc engines are.   Even the 150cc engines air cooled run HOT on the hwy. maxing out the speed limit of the engine flooring it at 55-60 mph top speed not being good to do long distance riding, say 30 miles one way.  I have gone 65 miles one way before on my 250cc scoot and no issues whatsoever, but at a 2.2 gallon tank, am limited to 120 miles per tank. 

And yes,  those 500cc scoots are pretty darn quick off the line.  Even my 250cc scoot can off the line keep up and beat most vehicles driving normally up to say 35 mph.

You know your Kymcos Cookiedough.   They have been in bus. for over 60 years in Taiwan ( the good China )  and at one time made the scooters for All the Japanese mfg.  The make a 300 now for Kawasaki only painted the Kawasaki green however this one is very cramped for folks over 5'8".  They also make the engines for the BMW 600 and 650 scooters.  Quality is high maybe little less than the Hondas, Yamahas, and Suzukis, but that is a maybe.  They do not hold there value as well as the Japanese, mostly because few folks know of them, and there are outrageous deals to be had on them in the used market.  About the only people I see on maxi scooters around here are farmers that got older and use to ride Gold wings and other large bikes, but they like them.
