Kymco CV3 Review

[@azizaviation]

I purchased my 2023 CV3 and I love it. It is an eye catcher and head turner. There are very few of them in United Arab Emirates.

[@azizaviation]

Thank you for the preview. I am planning to buy one in the near future. Currently I have Suzuki Burgman 650

[@magyeo5525]

You should do it!

I once owned a Piaggio MP3 400. The Italians pioneered the idea of a three wheel scooter with two wheels at the front and tilting suspension that can be locked at low speed so the rider doesn't need to put their feet down when they bike is stopped. The Piaggio was plenty powerful but I think the 550 version would be better. I like the look of the Kymco especially side cases and top box. I feel there could be more space under the seat and the screen could be wider and electrically adjustable. Thank you for your walk around. Enjoy riding it.

[@magyeo5525]

The locking system on this bike is not as superior as the Piaggio one. They use completely different systems. Hydrolic vs Brake locking. however, its also lighter and gets better fuel to weight ration pound for pound.

[@RufusCapstick]

Finally an actual hands on review of the CV3. Thank you

[@magyeo5525]

where are you located? And you r country does not have access to this Bike?

[@krollpeter]

More walk-around than a review. The bike is gorgeous!

@@magyeo5525 Europe, don't know if it's available here yet

[@genegoodwin8925]

Thank you for this video, I didn't know the CV3 had a in-line twin engine. To me that makes it BETTER than a Piaggio.

[@magyeo5525]

Thank you for your kind words. And yes it is better but the hydrolic system in the Piaggio is more robust and stable albeit the extra weight and complex repairs if enything goes wrong.

Nice job . I might buy one if I can find one in USA

[@AJ4thetube]

Lane splitting any issues? Compared to maxi scoots like burgman, downtown etc? And how’s your long term review, about a year in?

[@rodneypratt3718]

Love this bike with It was mine! Good luck!

[@1990-t1j]

It looks a great machine. I think the rear case looks too big for it, but they do one to where the rear seat is. The side cases look great. Not too wide. Was there a lot of tax on this in Singapore?

[@magyeo5525]

The taxes in singapore is ridiculous. Even before buying the bike we need to bid for a certificate to own the bike for 10 years. And this certificate is currently about $10,000 USD. We have not talked about the import taxes yet. Hence this bike cost about $35,000 USD in singapore.

[@1990-t1j]

@@magyeo5525 Wow! I'll stay in Thailand.

[@edmwftw3930]

I noticed the width is 960mm vs Yamaha Tricity 300 at only 815mm. That's 14.5cm difference which is a lot when it comes to lane splitting. Do you face any issues?

[@magyeo5525]

i have no problems lane splitting but i must say lane splitting really depends on the skill of the rider. It certainly is not a skinny bike, the plus point is that we get alot of lane visibility.

[@krollpeter]

Almost double cc. This is like comparing a X-Max with a Burgman 650.

[@dermandertcekmez2404]

Dear Mr. Yeo, thank you very much for your nice review. it’s really very helpful. 1- I would like to buy one top case suspension (holder) but it’s not available in my country in turkey 2- also I would like to buy one mobile telephone holder but it’s also not available in turkey. so is it possible would you guide me to buy one set of top case holder and a mobile phone holder. how can I buy it ? if you guide me I will be very happy and thankful to you. thank you very much and best regards from Istanbul Turkey. ❤😊

[@magyeo5525]

You can try to buy from carousell or amazon or ebay

Hola me alegro por este video porque ya falta menos para qué llegue a España

[@magyeo5525]

Estoy seguro de que te divertirás mucho con esta bicicleta una vez que llegue a tu país. me encanta todos los dias

[@edmwftw3930]

Does it have auto-lock features to prevent the bike from falling like the Piaggio MP3 or Yamaha Tricity?

[@magyeo5525]

I assume you are talking about the front forks correct? No auto lock. You need to activate it

[@Kahuna_550]

Can the 48 hold a full size helmet plus some extra stuff? Or would you suggest the 58x 🤔

[@magyeo5525]

Its enough to have 2 full sized helmets. dont forget there ia also teh under seat storage

[@Grolou45490]

Hello I want to know how to adjust the travel of the rear shock absorber because I want to travel with that is to say two people two suitcases and the top box all this load of course but users say that already with two people the rear shock absorber arrives in abutment limit slamming and I tried to see the travel adjustment but I did not find anything on it apparently it would be a shock absorber without any adjustments so like yours and all equipped have what it is and adjustable or not because not adjustable means changed continuously clicking on average roads Thank you and enjoy your CV3 can you give me the answer translated into French for my part I will translate it to you in English

[@JustforFun-cb7bo]

This is AK 550 with two wheels in front, it's an interesting bike but lacks functionality, no space under the seat no pockets at front for a smartphone or other small things and too small front wheels for it's size. Why they didn't put larger wheels at front like Yamaha did with tricity? It's way more stable in corners, it makes NO sense.

[@magyeo5525]

After riding for a month, I agree on the funtionality. But what it lacks on funtionality, it doubles on safety, I feel really stable on this bike and with another wheel in the front, it certainly is very comforting to lean into corners. The top box at the back as well as the panniers solves all the storage issues. I was asking the same question on the small front wheels too and realised that having bigger font wheels would affect the turning radius. Basically, the bigger the front wheels, the bogger the turning radius. Try the niken and you know what I mean. I believe this bike is build to be aesthetically pleasing, hence the way it looks. Anyway, so far am enjoying the ride and size too. Thanks for commenting ;)

[@JustforFun-cb7bo]

@@magyeo5525 i would love if you could share more of your experience about this bike, like how it feels at road bumps, at corners, the accelerating, top speed, wind protection, maneuverability ect

[@magyeo5525]

@@JustforFun-cb7bo Hi Hi, sorry for the late reply. It feels like a normal bike on bumps so nop difference there, the cornering is extremely stable and confident, accelerating is suprisingly good and this bike can really go high speed (160km/h). the wind protection is actually awesome for me. I am short thoiugh about 1.7m. if you are taller, the windscreen can be adjusted up. The only thing that i dont really like is the vibrations on the handle bar i get when i am travelling at 110km/h to 140km/h. although its still rideable without much concern of its safety.

[@JustforFun-cb7bo]

@@magyeo5525 thanks for the information

[@magyeo5525]

I managed to solve the vibrations, all i needed to do was to pump the tyres up to 2.2psi. I love the ride now

Slow acceleration. 0 to 100km or 60mph in 12 seconds. To slow for American interstate. You need a 650cc motor

100 km/h in 8 seconds…
