https://www.kymco.co.uk/news/rss https://www.kymco.co.uk/news/kymco-uk-2026-year-in-review Twelve months. Ten buyer's guides and reviews. Five pieces of dedicated farming content. And a range that now covers everything from a 1,749 50cc commuter to a road-legal farm quad from 4,299 and a 574cc three-wheeled flagship at 10,999. Here's what 2026 looked like for Kymco UK - and what to watch as 2027 approaches. Kymco AK 575 Premium - the UK's most fully equipped maxi scooter under 10,000. 17 Models in the UK range 1,749 Entry price (Agility 50) 4,299 T3B road-legal farm quad exc. VAT 10 Buyer's guides published in 2026 The Scooter & Motorcycle Range in 2026 The Kymco UK scooter lineup underwent its most significant reshaping in several years during 2025 and 2026. Three changes are worth understanding if you're comparing this year's range to anything older: The LIKE 125 is no longer offered in the UK. The AK550 has been replaced by the AK 575 Premium - a more powerful, better-specified successor at 9,999 (inc. VAT). And the single DTX360 model has been split into two distinct machines: the DTX 125 at 4,499 and the DTX 320 at 4,799, giving riders a choice of CBT-legal commuter or A2-eligible adventure scooter at a minimal price difference. For new riders, the MiCare 125 (2,399), Skytown 125 (2,854), and X-Town 125 (3,799) cover three distinct points of the 125cc market - from lightweight city runabout to a fully faired 12.5-litre urban tourer. All three are CBT-legal and sit in some of the most competitive price brackets in the UK 125cc segment. The CV3 - Kymco's Most Ambitious Model The Kymco CV3 deserves a mention as the most technically distinctive machine in the UK range. It's a three-wheeled leaning scooter with a 574cc DOHC parallel twin producing 37.6 kW and 54.4 Nm of torque, KALS leaning suspension with a maximum lean angle of 40, and a standing-assist system that keeps the machine upright when stationary. Available in Light Gold and Mat Grey Metallic, it's priced at 10,999 (inc. VAT). There's a particular advantage for riders who hold a full UK car licence issued before 2013: under current UK regulations, they may be eligible to ride a three-wheeled vehicle of this type without a motorcycle licence. If you're in that group, the CV3 is worth discussing with your local dealer. 10 Scooter & Motorcycle Models IONEX Electric Available 125cc from 2,399 inc.

VAT and road-legal - the most affordable T3B farm quad in the UK. Kymco's ATV range is where some of the most significant value in the UK quad market sits in 2026. The seven-model lineup spans from the Maxxer 90 youth ATV at 2,299 through to the UTV 700 side-by-side at 10,599 - all prices excluding VAT. The standout proposition for UK farmers and landowners remains the T3B road-legal models. Under T3B type approval, a qualifying ATV can be registered as an agricultural or limited-use vehicle, which means it can be ridden legally on public roads between fields - without a trailer or a second vehicle. The practical benefit on a working farm is considerable: bring a bag of feed, a fence post or a spool of wire, and drive it door to door rather than loading a trailer for a five-minute job. Kymco offers four T3B road-legal ATVs in the current range: Kymco T3B Road-Legal ATV Range 2026 Model Drive Towing Price (exc. VAT) MXU 300 T3B 2WD 227 kg 4,299 MXU 465 4WD 447 kg 5,349 MXU 550i T3B EPS 4WD 454 kg 6,599 MXU 700i T3B ABS EPS 4WD 454 kg 8,249 The UTV 700 sits above the ATV range as a proper side-by-side for larger operations: two seats, a cargo bed, 650 kg towing capacity, and an optional half or full cab for year-round work. It's been reviewed in full on this site - worth reading if you're managing more than a small holding. "Four T3B road-legal ATVs from 4,299 - drive legally between fields without a trailer.

Electric - The IONEX I-ONE and What It Means for UK Buyers The Kymco I-ONE, powered by the IONEX electric platform, sits at 3,499 in the current range - placing it between the Skytown 125 and X-Town 125. For urban riders covering predictable daily distances, an electric scooter removes fuel costs entirely, offers near-zero running costs day to day, and benefits from lower servicing requirements over time. The IONEX platform uses removable batteries, which is a meaningful practical point: rather than waiting for a fixed on-board battery to charge, riders can take the battery unit indoors to charge from a standard socket. For those without dedicated parking or a garage, this flexibility addresses the single biggest friction point in urban electric scooter ownership. Kymco's direction on electric is clear, and the I-ONE is unlikely to be the last IONEX product to reach the UK. Riders who are evaluating their next scooter purchase and expect to own it for three to five years are worth considering the category seriously. Looking Ahead - What to Watch in 2027 Dealer network growth: Kymco UK has added franchised dealers consistently in recent years. More coverage in previously under-served regions is likely to follow, which matters for servicing, parts supply, and test ride access. Electric momentum: with the I-ONE already in the range and IONEX an established platform globally, further electric options reaching UK shores - potentially at additional power levels or form factors - are a credible prospect for 2027 and beyond. If you're considering a purchase and want the most current information, your nearest Kymco UK dealer is the definitive source.

A couple of hours in the shed now can prevent a costly breakdown in January when you need your machine most. 7 Kymco ATV/UTV models in UK range 12 Months - recommended service interval -10C Cold snaps UK ATVs can face Bridgend Wales - UK parts base for all Kymco ATVs Why Winter Preparation Matters for UK ATV Owners UK winters are not extreme by global standards, but they are consistently wet, frequently muddy, and capable of delivering genuine hard frosts - especially in Scotland, Wales, the Pennines, and the West Country. For a machine that spends most of its life in these conditions, the combination of standing moisture, freezing temperatures, and salt-laden air creates a specific set of wear patterns that a standard service schedule may not fully address. The most common causes of winter ATV failures in the UK are not dramatic mechanical events - they are battery discharge in cold temperatures, seized brake calipers from standing mud, and fuel system issues in machines left partially filled for extended periods. All three are straightforward to prevent. The checks below cover every system you need to work through before the worst of the weather arrives. This guide is written for the full Kymco ATV and UTV range - from the MXU 150 through to the UTV 700 - though specific guidance varies by model where relevant. Engine and Fuel System - Getting Ready for Cold Starts Coolant and Antifreeze The MXU 300 T3B, MXU 465, MXU 550i EPS, MXU 700i ABS EPS, and UTV 700 are all liquid-cooled engines. Before winter, check that your coolant concentration is appropriate for the temperatures you are likely to face. Standard 50/50 antifreeze mix protects to approximately -34C - well beyond any realistic UK scenario - but coolant degrades over time, and an old mix may have dropped its protection level. If your machine has not had a coolant change in two years, now is the right time. The MXU 150 and Maxxer 90 are air-cooled and have no coolant system to check. Fuel Modern ethanol-blended petrol (E10 is now the UK standard fuel) is hygroscopic - it absorbs moisture from the air. A tank left partially full over winter is prone to moisture contamination, which can cause starting difficulties and, in severe cases, fuel system corrosion. Before winter storage (if applicable), either run the tank down as low as safely possible or fill it completely to minimise the air gap above the fuel. For machines used year-round, this is less of a concern - regular use keeps fuel fresh. Run your machine at least once a fortnight through winter even if farm work is lighter than usual. Air Filter Wet autumn conditions push more debris through the intake than dry summer riding. Check and clean the air filter as part of your pre-winter service - a restricted air filter causes rich running, harder starting in cold temperatures, and increased fuel consumption. If the filter has significant hours on it, replace it rather than cleaning it. Tip - Engine Oil Viscosity Cold-temperature starting places the most stress on an engine's lubrication system in the seconds before oil reaches full operating pressure. If your Kymco ATV specifies a multi-grade oil, verify that the current fill is within the recommended viscosity range for cold temperatures. Your Kymco dealer or the owner's manual will confirm the correct specification for your model. Battery - The Most Common Cause of Winter Failures Lead-acid batteries - the type fitted to most ATVs and UTVs - lose a significant proportion of their available capacity in cold temperatures. A battery that tests at 100% capacity at 20C may deliver only 5060% of that capacity at 0C. If your battery was already showing signs of weakness before summer, it is almost certain to fail during the first hard frost of winter. The practical checks are simple: First, clean the battery terminals. Corrosion at the terminal connections increases resistance and reduces the current available for starting. Remove the terminals, clean them with a wire brush, and apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to inhibit future corrosion. Second, assess the battery's condition. If your machine has a battery management system or you have access to a basic battery tester, check the battery's state of charge and its cold cranking amps (CCA) rating against the specification. Any battery showing significant capacity loss should be replaced before winter rather than after a roadside failure in January. Third, for machines used infrequently, invest in a quality battery maintenance charger - sometimes called a trickle charger or battery tender. These devices keep the battery at optimal charge without overcharging it, and they are one of the most cost-effective investments you can make in your machine's reliability. "A battery that barely gets your machine started in September will not start it at all in February." Brakes, Tyres, and Suspension - The Ground Contact Checks Brake Pads and Discs Mud and grit ingress into brake calipers is one of the most under-appreciated causes of ATV brake problems in the UK. Autumn farm work - particularly on clay soils - packs mud into caliper housings, where it can hold moisture against metal surfaces and cause corrosion that ultimately leads to seized pistons and uneven braking. Clean the caliper housings thoroughly before winter. Check pad thickness on each wheel - the minimum serviceable thickness varies by model, so refer to your owner's manual. If pads are approaching the wear limit, replace them before winter rather than during it. Check the disc surfaces for deep scoring or cracking. Tyre Pressure and Condition Tyre pressure drops approximately one PSI for every 10C fall in ambient temperature. A tyre set to the correct pressure on a 20C September afternoon will be noticeably under-inflated on a -5C January morning. Check tyre pressures at the start of each week through winter, or invest in a portable compressor to keep in the farm workshop. Inspect tyre condition at the same time. Look for cracking in the sidewalls - a common issue in older tyres that have been exposed to UV and weathering - and check tread depth, particularly for machines that will be ridden on road-legal T3B registration across public roads between fields. Suspension and Steering Components Check all grease nipples and apply fresh grease to ball joints, tie rod ends, and pivot points. These components wear faster in wet, muddy conditions, and dried-out grease accelerates wear significantly. Pay particular attention to the front suspension components, which take the most punishment on rough terrain. 4WD, Differential Lock, and EPS - Winter-Specific System Checks The MXU 465, MXU 550i EPS, MXU 700i EPS, and UTV 700 all feature selectable 4WD with a locking differential - the systems you will rely on most heavily through winter. Before conditions deteriorate, test both systems to confirm they engage and disengage cleanly. Select 4WD on a patch of flat, open ground and confirm all four wheels are pulling. Engage diff-lock and confirm it is functioning correctly. A 4WD system that is sluggish to engage, makes unusual noises, or fails to deliver the expected traction improvement should be inspected by your authorised Kymco dealer before you need it in earnest. For models with Electric Power Steering (MXU 550i EPS, MXU 700i ABS EPS, and UTV 700), confirm the EPS is operating correctly. EPS relies on sensors and an electric motor that can be affected by moisture ingress if seals are damaged. If steering feel has changed or you notice unusual resistance, have it checked. Pre-Winter Inspection Checklist - Kymco ATVs and UTVs Coolant concentration checked (liquid-cooled models: MXU 300 T3B and above) Fuel tank filled or run down - prevent E10 moisture absorption Air filter cleaned or replaced Engine oil level checked and viscosity verified for cold temperatures Battery terminals cleaned and battery condition tested Battery maintenance charger fitted (stored or infrequently-used machines) Brake caliper housings cleaned, pad thickness measured Tyre pressure set and tyre sidewalls inspected for cracking Grease nipples lubricated - ball joints, tie rods, pivot points 4WD and diff-lock tested and confirmed operational (applicable models) EPS operation confirmed (MXU 550i, MXU 700i, UTV 700) Body panels and frame inspected for stone chips - touch up before rust forms All lights operational (particularly for machines used in early morning or short winter days) Annual service booked if due - before winter, not during it Body, Frame, and Undercarriage - Protecting Against Moisture The underside of an ATV takes continuous punishment from stones, mud, and standing water. Before winter, clean the undercarriage thoroughly - a pressure washer is effective, but avoid directing high-pressure water directly at electrical connectors, brake caliper bleeder valves, or sealed bearing housings. After washing, inspect the frame for any stone chips or scratches in the paintwork that have reached bare metal. Any exposed metal will begin to corrode over a wet winter. Touch up with a matching touch-up paint before moisture can penetrate. Check that all body panels are securely fitted and that any drain holes in footwells or rear cargo racks are clear. Inspect wheel bearings by lifting each corner of the machine and spinning the wheel - any roughness, clicking, or significant play indicates a worn bearing that should be replaced before winter adds further stress to it. Checking bearings on a dry autumn day is significantly more straightforward than sourcing and fitting a replacement in a muddy yard in February. Storage vs Year-Round Use - What Changes? Not all Kymco ATV owners use their machines through winter. Recreational riders and some smallholders will put their machine away from November to March. Those with year-round farm operations will continue using theirs in all conditions. The maintenance approach differs accordingly. If You Are Storing the Machine A machine stored for more than 30 days should have its fuel system either drained or treated with a fuel stabiliser product to prevent gumming of the carburettor (on older non-FI models) or injector systems. Connect a battery maintenance charger. Apply a light protective spray to all exposed metal surfaces. Store indoors or under a breathable cover - a non-breathable cover traps condensation and accelerates corrosion. Before returning the machine to use in spring, run through the same pre-season checklist: check all fluid levels, inspect tyre pressures, clean brake calipers, test lights, and confirm 4WD operation before taking the machine back into the field. If You Are Using the Machine Year-Round Year-round farm use through a British winter demands a higher frequency of basic maintenance than summer riding. Check tyre pressures weekly as temperatures fluctuate. Clean brake calipers and wheel hubs after any session in heavy mud before mud packs and dries. Check battery condition monthly. Book your annual service at the end of summer rather than waiting until spring - your Kymco dealer will be less busy in September and October than in March.

Ground that appears firm can conceal soft mud beneath a frost-hardened surface crust. Stopping distances on frozen ground are significantly longer than in summer conditions, even with ABS (fitted to the MXU 700i ABS EPS). Engage 4WD before you need it rather than after you are already in difficulty. On models with a locking differential, use it proactively in soft ground rather than waiting until a wheel is spinning freely. EPS models will feel lighter to steer in cold conditions, but the underlying weight of the machine remains the same - do not let the reduced steering effort encourage overconfidence on steep, slippery slopes. For T3B road-legal models used on public roads between fields - the MXU 300 T3B in particular - be aware that road surfaces are significantly more hazardous in icy or wet conditions. Reduce speed accordingly and increase following distances from other vehicles. Dress appropriately. Cold air at ATV riding speeds accelerates heat loss dramatically. Wind chill at even modest speeds in sub-zero temperatures can cause rapid hypothermia. Waterproof, layered clothing and good gloves are operational necessities on a working farm, not optional extras. Winter Prep - What You Gain vs What Skipping It Costs Do It Now Machine starts reliably on cold mornings throughout winter Brakes and 4WD systems perform as expected in wet, muddy conditions Minor issues identified now, before they become mid-winter failures Service booked at a convenient time rather than as an emergency call-out Resale value protected - a well-maintained machine is worth more Leave It Until Spring Battery fails on the first hard frost - often mid-week, mid-job Seized brake caliper discovered when you need to stop on a slope Corroded frame and stone chips become deep rust over winter Emergency service booking in January - longer wait, more urgent cost Fuel system contamination from moisture in standing E10 petrol When to Book a Service The recommended service interval for Kymco ATVs is 12 months or a specified number of operating hours - whichever comes first. If your machine is due a service between now and March, book it in September or October rather than waiting. Authorised Kymco dealers are typically busier in spring when everyone discovers their machine did not survive the winter in the condition they expected. A full annual service from your authorised Kymco dealer covers the mechanical checks above in detail, plus items that require specialist tools - valve clearances, differential oil changes, brake hydraulic fluid renewal, and fuel system inspection. It is not a substitute for the pre-winter checks described here; it complements them. Parts availability for all Kymco ATV and UTV models is supported domestically from Bridgend, South Wales - so if a part is needed, it reaches your dealer quickly through the UK distribution network rather than waiting on international freight. That matters when a machine is out of action in the middle of lambing or harvest. To find your nearest authorised Kymco ATV dealer, use the dealer finder on kymco.co.uk.

The question is whether that package is enough to make it the standout choice in a competitive segment. 575 cc displacement 38.5 kW peak power 56.4 Nm max torque 9,999 UK OTR price What Is the Kymco AK 575 Premium? The AK 575 Premium sits at the top of the Kymco scooter and motorcycle range - an evolution of the AK 550 that adds displacement, refinement, and a substantially upgraded safety and technology package. It is a full-size maxi scooter built for riders who want the comfort and practicality of an automatic with the performance credentials of a proper twin-cylinder engine. Two colour options are available in the current UK range: Stucco Lake Green and Matt Black. Both are offered at the same price. The bodywork features full LED lighting front and rear, aerodynamically profiled panels with direct air flow passages, and a multi-textured seat designed for longer stints in the saddle. This is a machine built for covering distance, not just the school run. One important point before anything else: the AK 575 Premium produces 38.5kW - approximately 52bhp - which places it above the 35kW A2 licence limit. A full Category A motorcycle licence is required to ride this bike in the UK. Riders under 24 can qualify via the Progressive Access route (holding an A2 licence for two years first); those aged 24 or over can take the Direct Access Scheme (DAS). If you are still on an A2 licence and are interested in a Kymco maxi scooter, our guide to the best value maxi scooters in the UK covers the A2-compatible options in more detail. Engine & Performance The heart of the AK 575 Premium is a 575cc DOHC eight-valve parallel twin, liquid-cooled and fuel-injected. It produces 38.5kW at 7,000rpm and 56.4Nm of torque at 5,750rpm, transmitted through a CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic gearbox. Those figures place it firmly in premium maxi scooter territory. The torque number is particularly relevant on a CVT machine - it is the mid-range pull, not the peak power, that defines how a scooter feels in real-world UK riding. 56.4Nm delivered at under 6,000rpm means the AK 575 is responsive from the moment you open the throttle, whether you are filtering through urban traffic or accelerating onto a dual carriageway. Two riding modes - Rain and Power - are selectable via the centre console. Rain mode reduces throttle response and softens power delivery, which is useful on greasy UK roads in autumn and winter. Power mode opens everything up for faster roads and more spirited riding. The electronic throttle (ride-by-wire) means the transition between modes is seamless rather than mechanical. 56.4Nm of torque at 5,750rpm - on a CVT automatic, that is the figure that defines how the AK 575 feels in traffic. Confident, progressive, and very easy to manage. Cruise control is fitted as standard - a significant inclusion at this price. For A-road and motorway commuting, the ability to set a speed and take the strain off the throttle hand makes a meaningful difference on longer runs.

Technology & Safety Features The technology package on the AK 575 Premium is more comprehensive than most buyers will expect at 9,999. The headline item is AIBS - Kymco's Advanced Integrated Braking System with cornering capability. Standard ABS prevents wheel lock during straight-line braking; cornering ABS extends that protection to mid-corner brake applications, where a locked wheel on a conventional ABS system could cause the bike to run wide. For UK roads - which are rarely flat, consistently wet, and often covered in surface debris - this is meaningful rather than marketing. AIBS Cornering ABS Traction Control Cruise Control Electronic Throttle Electric Windshield Dual Riding Modes Full LED Lighting Daytime Running Light Piano-Key Console Aluminium Alloy Wheels The electric adjustable windshield is another item that earns its place on UK roads. The ability to raise or lower the screen without stopping allows you to manage wind blast as conditions change - useful when riding into headwinds or transitioning from exposed motorway stretches to town centres. The multi-positional adjustment is a feature you will find on bikes costing considerably more. The centre console takes its design cue from piano keys - an unusual detail that is more than aesthetic. Physical buttons handle the fuel tank cap, seat storage access, dashboard display settings, and handlebar lock. These are controls you use regularly, and having them as tactile buttons rather than buried in a digital menu makes a real difference when you are wearing gloves. The dual 270mm front disc setup with the rear 260mm disc gives confident, progressive stopping power appropriate for a 240kg machine. Comfort & Ergonomics on UK Roads At 2,200mm long with a 1,580mm wheelbase, the AK 575 Premium is a full-size machine. Riders should be aware of this: it handles like a larger scooter because it is one. The upside-down front forks provide a more precise feel than conventional units and cope better with the surface variations you encounter on British A-roads. Seat height is 785mm - moderate for the class, accessible to a wide range of riders. The multi-textured seating surface is designed with longer journeys in mind, and the wide, low-slung stance of the bodywork provides good wind and weather protection when the adjustable screen is in the raised position. The 14.5-litre fuel tank is practical if not class-leading for touring. At a realistic 5565mpg in mixed UK conditions, expect a range of approximately 170200 miles per tank. That is adequate for daily commuting with occasional longer runs, though dedicated touring riders may find themselves stopping for fuel more frequently than on rival machines with larger tanks. How Does It Compare? The Maxi Scooter Market Under 10,000 The AK 575 Premium's strongest argument is the value it delivers relative to comparable European alternatives. The Yamaha TMAX 560, which is a direct displacement rival with a 562cc parallel twin, is typically priced from approximately 11,500 in the UK - around 1,500 more than the AK 575 Premium. The Honda Forza 750, which steps up to a 745cc twin, is generally priced from approximately 10,00010,500. BMW's C 400 GT - a premium alternative but with a 350cc single-cylinder engine - is typically priced from around 8,500, offering less displacement and performance at a lower price. Note: competitor prices are approximate from publicly available UK market data and should be verified directly with dealerships at time of purchase. Kymco UK pricing is confirmed at 9,999 as of September 2026. Maxi Scooter Market Comparison - Under 10,000 Model Displacement Configuration Cornering ABS Cruise Control Elec.

Competitor prices are approximate from publicly available UK market data - verify with dealerships before purchase. The AK 575 Premium is the only machine in the table that combines a parallel twin, cornering ABS, cruise control, and an electric adjustable windscreen for under 10,000. That is a strong proposition, and the combination of features is typically reserved for bikes priced 1,5002,000 higher. The trade-off is brand recognition: Kymco's dealer network in the UK is smaller than Honda or Yamaha, and resale values will not match the Japanese mainstream. For buyers focused on what they get for their money rather than badge prestige, that is a reasonable trade. Running Costs: What Does the AK 575 Premium Cost to Own? The purchase price is only part of the equation. For a 575cc maxi scooter in the UK, buyers should budget for the following annual running costs. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) 69/year (401600cc band - verify current rate at gov.uk) Insurance (experienced rider, 30+) Approx. 400800/year Insurance (newer licence holder) Approx. 7001,400/year Fuel economy Approx. 5565mpg in mixed UK riding Estimated range per tank (14.5L) Approx. 170200 miles Servicing Annual, via Kymco authorised UK dealer network Insurance premiums vary significantly based on age, experience, location, and no-claims history. The figures above are indicative ranges rather than quotes. As with all vehicles, using a price comparison service with your specific details will give a more accurate picture. For UK parts and servicing, Kymco is supported from its UK headquarters in Bridgend, South Wales, which means authorised service support is domestically based rather than dependent on European parts shipments. Who Is the AK 575 Premium For? The AK 575 Premium is aimed squarely at full-licence riders who want a capable, well-equipped daily machine that can also handle longer journeys without complaint. The obvious candidate is the experienced commuter who has outgrown a 125cc or an A2-restricted scooter and wants to step into something with genuinely more capability - without paying flagship prices to do it. It also suits riders upgrading from within the Kymco family. The 125cc range gives new riders a strong starting point, and the natural upgrade path - once a full A licence is held - leads to a machine like this. The CVT transmission means the transition is straightforward: if you can ride the X-Town 125, you can ride the AK 575 Premium. What changes is the pace, the range, and the level of technology available to you. Longer-distance riders who want touring capability without the weight and bulk of a dedicated motorcycle tourer will also find the AK 575 Premium compelling. The combination of the electric windshield, cruise control, and the twin-cylinder engine's relaxed cruising gait makes motorway and A-road runs genuinely pleasant rather than merely bearable. Those for whom the AK 575 Premium is likely not the right fit: shorter riders for whom the 785mm seat height is a stretch, those who ride primarily short urban hops where a lighter 125cc like the X-Town 125 would be more practical to park and manoeuvre, and riders who prioritise brand resale value over specification. Verdict: Is It the Best Maxi Scooter Under 10,000? For specification per pound, the AK 575 Premium makes a compelling case. Nothing else at this price in the current UK market combines a 575cc parallel twin, cornering ABS, electronic throttle, traction control, cruise control, and an electric adjustable windshield. The features list is typically the preserve of machines priced 1,5002,000 higher, and that is the core of the AK 575 Premium's appeal. The compromises are real but manageable. At 240kg dry, it is not a nimble machine in slow traffic. The 14.5-litre tank limits touring range compared to some longer-legged rivals. And Kymco's UK dealer network, whilst growing, cannot match the coverage of Honda or Yamaha - something worth considering when factoring in servicing convenience. That said, for buyers who live within reach of an authorised Kymco dealer and are buying primarily on capability rather than badge, the AK 575 Premium is the most complete 9,999 maxi scooter currently available in the UK.

Where a tractor is too large and slow to justify for short tasks, and a wheelbarrow is simply too labour-intensive, an ATV sits in the middle: manoeuvrable, capable, and ready in seconds. For equestrian use specifically, a reliable, low-key machine suits the environment better than a high-powered sport quad. Horses respond to noise and sudden movement, so a predictable, steady engine note and smooth power delivery matter more than outright performance. Kymco's utility ATV range - designed for working environments rather than recreation - fits that requirement naturally. Feed & Hay Rounds Fencing Checks Paddock Maintenance Equipment Transport Arena Maintenance Muck & Waste Hauling Paddock Patrol Choosing the Right ATV for Equestrian Use The temptation when buying a quad bike for yard use is to over-specify. A 700cc machine with four-wheel drive and Electronic Power Steering is the right answer for a hill farm running hundreds of acres - but for an equestrian property with a handful of paddocks, it is more machine than the job requires, and more to maintain and insure. For most horse yards and livery centres, the practical requirements are straightforward: sufficient towing for a small trailer or feed sled, front and rear cargo racks for tools and supplies, reliable starting in cold weather, and a machine that is easy to ride for multiple people across the yard team. The Kymco MXU 150 and Kymco MXU 300 T3B are the two models in the Kymco range that best match this use case - one for lighter properties, one for those with more ground to cover or a need to cross public roads between paddocks. "A well-chosen ATV doesn't need to be the most powerful machine on the market - it needs to start every morning, haul what you need, and stay out of the way of the horses." Kymco's Recommended Models for Horse Yards Two models stand out for equestrian use, depending on the size of the property and the tasks involved. Kymco MXU 150 From 3,249 exc. VAT The MXU 150 is the natural entry point for equestrian buyers who want a practical, low-cost yard machine. Its 149cc air-cooled engine produces 11HP - sufficient for moving feed, dragging a small sled, and general yard duties. With front and rear cargo racks (15kg and 20kg respectively) and a 150kg towing capacity, it covers the essentials at a price that is hard to fault. The CVT automatic gearbox with reverse makes it accessible for all members of a yard team regardless of riding experience. At 175kg dry weight, it is also genuinely light for an adult ATV, which matters when manoeuvring in tight yard spaces. Available in three colours: Ochre, Timberline Green, and Deep Blue. Best suited to: smaller equestrian properties, livery yards with limited ground, first-time ATV buyers, and properties where a simple, low-maintenance machine is the priority. Kymco MXU 300 T3B From 4,299 exc. VAT The MXU 300 T3B steps up to a 270cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine producing 21HP - a meaningful jump over the MXU 150 in both power and reliability in cold or wet conditions. Fuel injection means consistent cold starts first time, every time, which matters on winter mornings when horses still need feeding regardless of the temperature. Towing capacity increases to 227kg, front and rear hydraulic disc brakes (CBS linked) provide confident stopping when loaded, and ground clearance rises to 250mm - better suited to the uneven, often churned terrain of a working equestrian property in winter. The double A-arm front suspension delivers a noticeably more settled, comfortable ride over rough ground compared to the single A-arm setup on the MXU 150. As a T3B-classified machine, the MXU 300 can also be registered for agricultural and limited-use road operation - relevant if your property spans public roads between paddocks. Available in Green and Orange. Best suited to: larger equestrian centres, studs, and livery yards with significant acreage; buyers who need to cross public roads between paddocks; and any property where reliability in all weather is a non-negotiable.

VAT) 3,249 4,299 Road Legal - Moving Between Paddocks Many equestrian properties are not a single contiguous block of land. Paddocks on the far side of a lane, a bridleway crossing a public road, a hay barn a quarter of a mile from the yard - the reality of rural equestrian properties means crossing or travelling along public roads is often unavoidable. The Kymco MXU 300 T3B is a T3B-classified machine, which means it can be registered for agricultural and limited-use road operation. In practice, this means you can legally move between paddocks and facilities across public roads without needing a separate vehicle or a trailer - a genuine practical advantage for larger equestrian operations where multiple paddock sites are spread across a road network. Your nearest Kymco dealer can advise on the registration process and ensure your machine is correctly set up for road use. Appropriate insurance for road use will be required - speak to your insurer about agricultural vehicle cover. UK Parts & Support - Bridgend, Wales An ATV that is off the road is a problem. Yards run on routines, and a machine out of action during the winter or at foaling time is more than an inconvenience. One of the practical advantages of the Kymco ATV range is that all UK parts and warranty support are distributed domestically from Kymco UK's facility in Bridgend, South Wales. This means that when your machine needs a part - whether under warranty or beyond it - it travels through the UK dealer network from a UK-based stock location, not on an international shipment from the Far East. For a working yard where every day matters, that practical detail is worth more than it might first appear. All Kymco ATVs sold through the UK authorised dealer network are backed by a full manufacturer warranty. Your dealer can advise on current terms and service intervals.

The right machine needs to be reliable, light enough for soft ground, and practical enough to carry what the day asks of it. Here is what to look for, and which Kymco ATV makes most sense. 4,299 MXU 300 T3B - exc. VAT 227kg MXU 300 T3B towing capacity 235kg Dry weight - lighter than rivals >1,200 Saving vs CForce 450 What Makes a Good Quad Bike for Sheep Farming? Sheep farmers put more hours on their ATVs than almost any other agricultural user. A typical sheep farm quad will cover several miles a day across a wide variety of terrain - checking flocks in the hill, moving between grazing blocks, carrying medicaments and feed, working alongside dogs. The machine needs to do all of this without becoming a liability. Four things matter most in a sheep farming ATV: Reliability - a machine that won't let you down during lambing or in winter. Fuel injection delivers more consistent cold-weather starting than a carburettor; liquid cooling maintains operating temperature better under sustained low-speed work. Weight - heavier machines sink into soft ground, particularly in wet upland conditions. A lighter quad is easier to extract when things go wrong, and does less damage to pasture. The Kymco MXU 300 T3B weighs 235kg dry - a genuine working advantage over heavier rivals in its class. Towing and rack capacity - feeders, mineral licks, tools, lambing kit. Front and rear racks that can take a proper load, plus a rated tow point, are non-negotiable. Ground clearance - the MXU 300 T3B offers 250mm of clearance, which keeps the underside clear of tussocks and drainage channels on rough grazing ground. Road Legal vs Non-Road Legal - Why It Matters on a Sheep Farm Many sheep farms in the UK consist of parcels of land separated by public roads. Moving between fields means either loading the quad onto a trailer - which takes time and requires a second vehicle - or riding it across the road legally. The Kymco MXU 300 T3B carries T-class type approval, which means it can be registered for agricultural or limited use on public roads. Drive legally on public roads between fields - no need for a trailer or second vehicle. This is a practical, day-to-day saving for any farmer with split land holdings. For those needing greater road-use flexibility, the Kymco MXU 465 is approved for PLG (Private Light Goods) road registration - a more flexible category that covers a wider range of road-use scenarios and includes 4WD with a locking differential for year-round traction on challenging ground. "Drive legally on public roads between fields - no need for a trailer or second vehicle." Kymco's Recommended Models for Sheep Farmers The Kymco range covers three practical options for sheep farming, depending on the scale of the operation and the ground being worked. Kymco MXU 300 T3B 4,299 exc. VAT The entry point into proper work-capable ATVs in the Kymco range. The 270cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine delivers 21 HP with reliable cold-weather starting - no choke, no flooding in the cold. Double A-arm front suspension gives 250mm of ground clearance; front and rear cargo racks carry up to 50kg combined. Tows up to 227kg, which handles a loaded feeder trailer comfortably. T-class approved - can be registered for agricultural or limited road use to legally cross between fields. 2WD. Best for: everyday sheep farm work on moderate terrain, smaller flocks, farms with road crossings. Kymco MXU 465 5,349 exc. VAT The step up for serious sheep farming work. The MXU 465 introduces 4WD with a locking differential - essential for boggy upland ground, steep hillsides, and wet conditions in winter and spring. Towing capacity rises to 447kg, covering all but the heaviest trailer loads. PLG road registration allows greater flexibility when crossing public roads than agricultural registration alone. Best for: larger flocks, upland and hill sheep farms, mixed terrain, year-round heavy use. For the largest operations - or where a second person needs to ride along for tasks such as dagging, dosing, or moving sheep - the Kymco UXV 700i side-by-side provides two seats, a cargo bed, 4WD, and 650kg of towing capacity.

Verdict: The Best Kymco Quad for Sheep Farming For most sheep farmers, the Kymco MXU 300 T3B at 4,299 exc. VAT is the practical starting point: lighter than anything in its price class, fuel-injected for consistent performance in all conditions, T-class approved for agricultural road use, and backed by UK parts support from Bridgend, South Wales. It handles the everyday demands of a working sheep farm without the cost or weight of a more complex machine. Where terrain is more demanding - upland ground, heavy clay, steep hillsides in wet conditions - the MXU 465 at 5,349 exc. VAT adds 4WD with diff-lock and 447kg towing capacity, and remains cheaper than the full-spec CForce 450. For large hill farms running hundreds of head, or operations where a second person needs to ride along, the UXV 700i side-by-side is the logical upgrade. All Kymco ATVs are supported by the full UK parts and warranty network distributed from Bridgend, South Wales - meaning downtime during lambing or gathering doesn't wait on an international shipment. Kymco MXU 300 T3B - Sheep Farm Verdict Strengths Most affordable T-class farm quad in the UK at 4,299 exc.

Kymco's ATV range is built for exactly that, with road-legal models starting from 4,299 exc. VAT, full UK parts and warranty support from Bridgend in South Wales, and a choice of seven machines to match every farm type and budget. Road-Legal Farming Quad - Starting From 4,299 Kymco MXU 300 T3B | exc. VAT | Fuel-injected | UK parts & warranty 4,299 From exc. VAT 4 T3B Road-Legal Models 650kg UTV 700 Towing 2yr UK Warranty Why Kymco for UK Farms? Kymco has manufactured powered vehicles since 1963, with an annual production volume exceeding one million units. That scale of manufacturing delivers consistent build quality, predictable reliability, and a parts supply chain that doesn't fail you at the worst moment. For UK buyers, the most important practical difference is where support comes from. All Kymco ATV and UTV parts and warranty claims are handled domestically through Kymco UK's facility in Bridgend, South Wales. When your machine needs a part during lambing, at harvest, in the middle of a wet November, it arrives through your local authorised dealer without waiting on international freight. For any vehicle that works for its living, that distinction is real. Kymco also offers one of the widest road-legal ATV selections available in the UK. Four models carry T3B type approval, the MXU 300 T3B, MXU 465, MXU 550i EPS, and MXU 700i ABS EPS, giving farms that need to move legally on public roads a genuine choice at every budget level. T3B Road Legal Drive Between Fields Without a Trailer UK farms rarely sit in a single, uninterrupted block. Moving between fields, checking hedgerow boundaries, accessing neighbouring land, all of this often requires crossing or travelling along a public road. Without a road-legal quad, that means loading the machine onto a trailer and using a second vehicle every time. T3B Road Legal - What It Means in Practice Drive legally on public roads between fields, no need for a trailer or second vehicle. T3B is a European type-approval classification confirming that a vehicle meets the required safety and emissions standards for its class. It is the designation that enables a quad bike to be registered for road use in the UK under Agricultural, Limited Use, or in the case of the MXU 465 - PLG (Private Light Goods) categories. The Kymco MXU 465 is the most versatile road-legal option in the range, being the only model that qualifies for PLG registration. PLG is not restricted to agricultural use, making it the preferred choice for gamekeepers, estate managers, and anyone who needs to cross public roads regularly for non-farming purposes as well. "For farms where fields are separated by public roads, a road-legal quad isn't a luxury - it's an operational saving. Every trip that doesn't require a trailer saves time, fuel, and wear on a tow vehicle." Which Kymco ATV for Which Farm Type? The right quad depends on what your land demands the size of the operation, the terrain, whether you need road access between parcels, and how many hours daily the machine will work. Use the selector below as a starting point, then speak to your nearest Kymco dealer to confirm. Farm Type Model Selector Farm / Land Type Primary Needs Recommended Model From (exc.

Its 270cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine, uncommon at this price, delivers reliable cold-weather starting and consistent power in varying conditions. With 227kg towing and front and rear cargo racks (20kg / 30kg), it handles the daily feed rounds, fencing jobs, and light towing that smallholdings and sheep farms require. At 4,299 exc.

With 443cc fuel-injected power, 4WD with a locking differential, 447kg towing, and independent rear suspension, the MXU 465 is the correct choice for mixed and arable farms, gamekeepers, and anyone who crosses public roads regularly. PLG registration is not restricted to agricultural use, making it the practical choice for estates and land managers who need maximum flexibility. View MXU 465 full spec MXU 550i EPS 6,599 exc.

Electric Power Steering makes a tangible difference over a full working day reducing arm, shoulder, and wrist fatigue during hours of low-speed work in soft ground. The 95kg rear rack capacity is the highest in the ATV range, and 454kg towing handles most agricultural trailer requirements. For cattle farms, large arable operations, and professional farm managers who spend four or more hours daily on an ATV, EPS moves from a desirable feature to a practical necessity.

ABS braking adds a meaningful safety layer for high-speed field work and road use, particularly on sloping ground and in wet conditions. EPS and 4WD with diff-lock are standard, and Bighorn-specification tyres provide additional grip in the most demanding terrain. For large estates, full-time farm managers, and operations where the ATV works every day of the year, the MXU 700i represents the highest practical specification available in the range.

Parts availability is the factor most buyers overlook when comparing brands, and it becomes the factor they care about most after purchase. All Kymco ATV and UTV parts and warranty support are distributed from Kymco UK's facility in Bridgend, South Wales. Your authorised Kymco dealer orders parts through the domestic supply chain. For genuine parts on a working vehicle, the difference between a one-day wait and a two-week international shipment is the difference between a minor interruption and a serious problem. All new Kymco ATVs and UTVs are covered by a full manufacturer warranty. Contact your nearest dealer for current warranty terms and service interval schedules. Upgrade Path: The UTV 700 for Farms Needing More Some farming operations reach a point where a solo-rider quad bike no longer covers every requirement. When you regularly need a second person on board, need to tow above 450kg, or are working year-round in British winter conditions, the step up to a side-by-side utility vehicle is the practical answer. The Kymco UTV 700 is a two-seat side-by-side with a 695cc fuel-injected engine, 650kg towing capacity, Electric Power Steering, and switchable 4WD with locking differential as standard. An optional full cab (2,999) or half cab (1,599) makes it one of the few vehicles at this price point that can be made genuinely comfortable for year-round British conditions. Quad vs UTV When to Step Up Choose a Quad If... Solo work is the norm Agility across varied terrain is key Towing under 450kg is sufficient Budget is the primary consideration Storage space is limited Choose the UTV 700 If... A passenger travels regularly Towing above 450kg is required All-weather, year-round cab use matters Car-style driving position is preferred A cargo bed for tools or materials is needed For a full look at the UTV 700's farm credentials - including real-world towing, cab options, and off-road performance - read the Kymco UTV 700 in-depth review.

Both require a full A motorcycle licence. Both offer genuine motorcycle-class performance in a scooter package and both undercut their closest European rivals on price by a meaningful margin. The maxi scooter market in the UK is a genuinely compelling space for full-licence riders. Machines in this class offer the effortless, automatic twist-and-go convenience of a commuter scooter but with the engine displacement, top speed, and highway capability of a large-capacity motorcycle. If you regularly cover both urban and motorway miles and want a single machine that handles both without compromise a maxi scooter deserves serious consideration. 575cc AK 575 Engine 38.5kW Peak Power Output 9,999 AK 575 inc. VAT 105mph CV3 Top Speed What Licence Do You Need for a Kymco Maxi Scooter? Both Kymco maxi scooters available in the UK require a full A category motorcycle licence. This is not a restriction of the machines it is a reflection of their genuine performance level. Licence requirements at a glance: AK 575 Premium 38.5kW output exceeds the 35kW A2 licence limit. A full A licence is required (minimum age 24, or 21 with two years on an A2). CV3 As a three-wheeled vehicle, the CV3 can also be ridden on a full car driving licence issued before 19 January 2013. Riders without this entitlement require a full A licence or category B1 (three-wheeler) entitlement. Always verify your specific licence category with the DVLA before purchase. Neither model is A2-licence compatible. If you hold an A2 licence and are looking for a 125cc maxi-style scooter, please see our X-Town 125. The Kymco AK 575 Premium Twin-Cylinder Performance The AK 575 Premium is the core of Kymco's UK maxi scooter offering. Its 575cc DOHC in-line twin produces 38.5kW (approximately 52HP) at 7,000rpm and 56.4Nm of torque at 5,750rpm figures that place it comfortably in the performance scooter bracket alongside the Yamaha TMAX and BMW C650 GT, but at a significantly lower entry price. The twin-cylinder configuration matters for the kind of riding a maxi scooter is typically used for. Parallel twin engines deliver a notably smoother, more refined power delivery than single-cylinder alternatives, particularly at motorway speeds where the reduction in vibration and the wider spread of torque makes sustained high-speed riding considerably less tiring. The AK 575 Premium's CVT transmission handles all gear selection automatically, so the rider focuses entirely on throttle, braking, and road conditions. The chassis specification matches the engine ambition. Upside-down front forks, 15-inch wheels, AIBS cornering ABS technology (which adjusts braking force based on lean angle), dual 270mm front discs, and a 260mm rear disc give the AK 575 a braking and suspension package that most scooters at this price point don't come close to offering as standard. "At 9,999 inclusive of VAT, the AK 575 Premium lands below the Yamaha TMAX's entry price and significantly below the BMW C650 GT with a comparable specification." Real-World Use Cases The AK 575 Premium is genuinely suited to riders who commute significant distances and want the same machine for weekend riding. A 14.5-litre tank provides reasonable range for the daily commute; the twin-cylinder engine and premium suspension make weekend runs on A and B roads rewarding rather than merely functional. A 785mm seat height is accessible for a wide range of riders, and the step-through access means the practicalities of urban riding traffic filtering, car park manoeuvres are handled with more ease than on an equivalent naked motorcycle. The Kymco CV3 Three Wheels, a Category Apart The CV3 is a fundamentally different proposition. As the only three-wheeled scooter in the Kymco UK range, it occupies a category that competes with the Piaggio MP3 and Yamaha Tricity rather than the two-wheeled maxi scooter class. Its 574cc in-line twin produces 37.6kW and 54.4Nm similar figures to the AK 575 in a different chassis package. The front two-wheel layout, combined with the KALS (KYMCO Advanced Leaning Suspension) system and electronic anti-leaning mechanism, provides a fundamentally more stable platform particularly in low-speed manoeuvring, wet conditions, and on uneven surfaces where a two-wheeled machine would rely entirely on rider balance. The CV3 leans into corners like a conventional scooter but stands upright independently when stationary. Additional standard equipment includes cruise control, heated grips, keyless one-touch start, a 6-inch TFT display, and a standing assist system. The CV3 also benefits from a 55mpg economy figure and a 190-mile range useful data points for anyone using it as a primary commuter or leisure tourer. One notable advantage: car licence holders whose licence was issued before 19 January 2013 may be entitled to ride the CV3 under existing B category entitlements. Always confirm with the DVLA. How Do the Kymco Maxi Scooters Compare to Rivals? Both UK Kymco maxi scooters are positioned at the premium end of the market but offer genuine value against the European alternatives they compete with directly. Model Engine Power Torque Price (inc.

Kymco prices inc. VAT. Value Position The AK 575 Premium arrives with AIBS cornering ABS and upside-down forks as standard equipment that rivals charge extra for or omit entirely at a comparable price. Against the Yamaha TMAX 560, the AK 575 undercuts on list price by approximately 2,400 whilst offering marginally more power. Against the BMW C650 GT, the saving is closer to 1,700. For a rider whose priority is performance-per-pound rather than badge prestige, the case for Kymco is straightforward. For the three-wheeler category, the CV3 at 10,999 competes directly with the Piaggio MP3 530 at around 11,999 and offers meaningfully more sophisticated suspension technology in the KALS system. Maxi Scooter vs Naked Motorcycle: Which Is Right for You? For a full-licence rider deciding between a large-capacity maxi scooter and an equivalent naked motorcycle, the choice comes down to priorities. A maxi scooter wins on practicality, effortlessness, and day-to-day versatility. Step-through access is faster in stop-start traffic. Integrated storage means no tank bag or top box required. The automatic transmission is genuinely relaxing over long distances and in urban riding. For riders who commute five days a week and want the occasional weekend run thrown in, a maxi scooter is almost certainly the more sensible purchase. If spirited B-road riding and the tactile engagement of a manual gearbox are the primary objectives, a naked bike will likely suit better. Most riders, on honest reflection, do the former. Running Costs: What Does a Kymco Maxi Scooter Cost to Own? The CV3's published figures give a useful benchmark for the class: 55mpg in mixed riding and a 73 annual road tax rate for a 574cc machine. On current pump prices, 55mpg translates to approximately 78 per 100 miles considerably cheaper per mile than a car and competitive with smaller-capacity alternatives. Insurance for 575cc scooters sits broadly in line with equivalent-capacity naked motorcycles cheaper than large-bore superbikes, more expensive than 125cc machines. The cornering ABS and traction control standard on both models should reflect favourably with most underwriters. Service intervals on both models are typically every 6,000 miles or 12 months discuss current terms with your Kymco dealer. Verdict: Which Kymco Maxi Scooter Is Right for You? The choice between the AK 575 Premium and CV3 is less about specification and more about the type of rider you are. If you want a conventional two-wheeled maxi scooter that competes directly with the Yamaha TMAX and BMW C650 GT at a meaningfully lower price, with cornering ABS and upside-down forks as standard, the AK 575 Premium at 9,999 is the answer. It is a proper, performance-focused machine that does not ask you to compromise. If stability, all-weather confidence, the unique advantage of three-wheel physics, and a flagship technology specification are your priority or if you hold a pre-2013 car licence and want to avoid the motorcycle test the CV3 at 10,999 is a genuinely distinctive machine with no direct equivalent in the Kymco range.

Whether you need a lightweight quad for estate work, a road-legal farm vehicle, or a fully capable side-by-side to carry tools and a colleague across rough terrain, there is a model built for it. This guide covers every current Kymco ATV and UTV available in the UK - verified specs, UK pricing, and an honest assessment of what each machine is best suited to. Why Kymco for ATVs and UTVs in the UK? Kymco has been manufacturing powered vehicles since 1963 and currently produces in excess of one million units annually across its global facilities. That manufacturing scale matters more than it might first appear - it translates into consistent build quality, reliable parts availability, and a supply chain that is not subject to the delays that can affect smaller volume producers. In the UK, Kymco ATVs and UTVs are distributed through an authorised dealer network offering factory warranty support and genuine parts. For farmers, estate managers, and landowners who depend on their machinery, that support infrastructure is not a bonus - it is a practical requirement. A quad that is off the road waiting for parts for three weeks has a very real cost. The range also covers a genuinely wide spread of applications and budgets, from a sub-4,000 entry-level quad to a 45HP side-by-side with a towing capacity that rivals purpose-built agricultural machinery. Understanding where each model sits in that spectrum is the starting point for choosing the right one. You can find a Kymco dealer near you to discuss your requirements in person. 695cc Flagship engine size 650kg Max towing (UTV 700) 45HP Peak power output 3,249 ATV entry price exc. VAT Understanding the Range: ATVs vs UTVs Kymco's off-road range splits into two distinct categories, and the distinction is fundamental to choosing the right machine. ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) - quad bikes - are single-rider machines with handlebar steering and a straddle seating position. The rider sits astride the vehicle and uses body weight as part of how the machine handles on uneven terrain. Kymco's ATV range runs from the compact 149cc MXU 150 through to the professional-grade MXU 700i. ATVs are typically preferred where nimble handling and a smaller footprint are needed - narrow tracks, gated fields, or work that requires getting into tight spaces a larger vehicle cannot reach. UTVs (Utility Task Vehicles) - side-by-sides - are two-seat vehicles with a steering wheel and car-style seating. The Kymco UTV 700 is the flagship model in this category and represents a fundamentally different proposition from the ATVs: higher towing capacity, greater payload, and the ability to carry a passenger and tools in a rear cargo bed. UTVs suit sustained workday use and applications where transporting equipment alongside a second person is a daily requirement rather than an occasional need. "The choice between an ATV and a UTV usually comes down to one question: do you regularly need to carry someone with you, or are you working alone?" - Kymco UK ATV & UTV Range Guide The Kymco ATV Lineup - Model by Model There are five ATVs in the current UK range. Each targets a distinct use case, and the specification differences between them are meaningful rather than cosmetic. What follows is an honest summary of each, based on verified figures from the Kymco UK website. MXU 150 3,249 exc. VAT The entry point to the Kymco ATV range. The MXU 150 runs a 149cc air-cooled engine producing 11HP, with CVT automatic transmission and reverse gear. Light, approachable, and priced accessibly, it suits younger riders, hobby use, and lighter estate or smallholding work where a heavier machine would be impractical. It is not a heavy-duty working quad - but it is not trying to be, and within its category it represents solid value. 149cc Air-Cooled 11HP CVT Automatic Reverse Gear Lightweight MXU 300 T3B 4,299 exc. VAT A meaningful step up in capability that justifies the price difference. The MXU 300 T3B is liquid-cooled and fuel-injected, producing 21HP with a 227kg towing capacity. Double A-arm front suspension, CBS hydraulic disc brakes at both axles, and front and rear cargo racks make this a genuinely capable light working quad. At under 4,300 excluding VAT, it represents strong value for buyers who need a functional work tool rather than a leisure machine. Fuel Injected Liquid Cooled 21HP 227kg Towing CBS Disc Brakes Front & Rear Racks MXU 465 Contact your dealer for pricing The MXU 465 occupies a distinct position in the range: it is Kymco's road-legal quad bike, approved for registration under Agricultural, Limited Use, and PLG (Private Light Goods) categories. This makes it the clear choice for any buyer who needs to travel on public roads as part of their working day - moving between holdings or crossing a lane between fields. Front and rear cargo racks and a locking differential are standard. If road-legal use is a requirement, no other model in the range qualifies. Pricing is available from authorised Kymco dealers. Road Legal Locking Differential Agricultural Registration PLG Approved Limited Use Category MXU 550i EPS 6,599 exc. VAT The first model in the range to include Electric Power Steering as standard, and the point at which the Kymco ATV begins to feel like a professional-grade working machine. The 499cc engine produces 30HP, towing capacity reaches 454kg, and the rear rack is rated to 95kg - enough to carry meaningful loads through a full working day. The MXU 550i EPS is arguably the best-balanced model in the range for buyers who need genuine capability without committing to flagship pricing. Electric Power Steering 4WD 454kg Towing 95kg Rear Rack 499cc / 30HP MXU 700i ABS EPS T3B 8,249 exc. VAT The flagship ATV in the range, and one of the most comprehensively specified quad bikes available at this price point in the UK market. The 695cc engine produces 39HP (29kW) and 55Nm, backed by 4WD with a locking differential and independent rear suspension for comfort on extended rough-terrain work. ABS anti-lock braking, Electric Power Steering, a USB charging port, anti-theft steering lock, and Bighorn 26-inch all-terrain tyres come as standard. Towing capacity is 454kg and rear rack capacity is 95kg. At 8,249 excluding VAT, the specification sheet is difficult to argue against for professional-grade solo ATV use.

Two seats, a steering wheel, car-style foot controls, and a rear cargo bed position it as a working platform rather than a rider's vehicle. The 695cc fuel-injected engine produces 45HP - more than the flagship MXU 700i ATV - paired with Electric Power Steering, switchable 4WD, and a locking differential. The headline figure is towing capacity: 650kg, which puts it in range of small agricultural trailers and makes a credible case as an alternative to a compact tractor for light to medium estate work. The base price is 10,599 excluding VAT, with a factory-built full cab available at 2,999 and a half cab at 1,599 - a significant practical consideration for year-round working conditions in the UK. We have already published a full in-depth review of this machine. If the UTV 700 is on your shortlist, read the full Kymco UTV 700 review on the Kymco UK website before making a decision - it covers real-world performance, build quality, and the honest case for and against at its price point in the current UK market. Which Kymco ATV Is Right for You? With six models spanning a significant range of price and capability, the choice is not always obvious from specification sheets alone. The use case matcher below is a practical starting point - most buyers will find their answer falls clearly into one category once they work through what the machine actually needs to do. Use Case Matcher Hobby use, leisure, small paddock or garden MXU 150 Light farm or estate work, occasional towing MXU 300 T3B Regular travel on public roads between sites MXU 465 Demanding daily farm work, heavier regular towing MXU 550i EPS Professional-grade, heavy-duty solo ATV work MXU 700i ABS EPS Need to carry a passenger, tools, or heavy loads UTV 700 One consideration that quickly narrows the choice is whether road-legal registration is a requirement. If you need to travel on a public road as part of normal use, the MXU 465 is the only ATV in the range that qualifies. If road use is not a factor, the decision typically comes down to workload intensity and whether EPS and 4WD are essential for the terrain you are working on.

UK Parts, Warranty and Dealer Support For working machines, the support infrastructure behind the brand matters as much as the specification. Kymco UK distributes genuine parts nationally through its authorised dealer network, and availability is generally strong given the volumes at which Kymco manufactures globally. Unlike some imported alternatives where parts lead times can stretch to weeks, Kymco's network is geared towards the agricultural and working machine market where downtime has a direct cost. Factory warranty terms are available through your authorised Kymco dealer and cover the standard protections on a new machine. Confirm current warranty terms at point of purchase, as these can be updated. Scheduled servicing is available at authorised dealerships, and regular servicing to manufacturer intervals is the most straightforward way to protect the warranty and maximise machine life.

Each model has a clear purpose, and the price progression tracks meaningful additions in capability, technology, and specification rather than incremental changes for their own sake. For the majority of working farm and estate buyers, the MXU 550i EPS is the natural recommendation. It is the point at which Electric Power Steering arrives as standard - a genuine daily-use benefit on mixed terrain - towing capacity becomes seriously useful at 454kg, and the overall specification justifies sustained professional use. Buyers who can stretch to the MXU 700i ABS EPS gain the additional confidence of ABS braking and independent rear suspension, which matters on longer working days over demanding ground. For those who regularly need to carry a passenger or move significant amounts of equipment, the UTV 700 is the straightforward recommendation. The ATV range, however capable at the top end, remains a solo machine. The UTV's 650kg towing capacity, two-seat cabin, and factory cab options make it a categorically different proposition for sustained professional use - and the full review linked from the sidebar covers the real-world case in detail. If you have any questions about which model is right for your specific use case, an authorised Kymco dealer can advise based on your terrain, workload, and budget.

Now it sits at the most interesting corner of the two-wheeled market practical enough for daily commuting, characterful enough to tempt weekend riders away from the motorway. The Kymco DTX 360 range was built specifically for this space, and it arrives at a price that should make the established European brands take notice. What Is the Kymco DTX 320? The DTX 360 range is Kymco's crossover answer to the question: what if a maxi scooter looked like it meant business? Launched in 2021 and built to Euro 5 standards, the range comprises two models the DTX 125, designed for CBT and A1 licence riders, and the DTX 320, the full 320cc variant reviewed here. It is the DTX 320 that makes most sense for UK adults, offering genuine motorway capability and the kind of everyday versatility that earns a permanent place in your garage. Visually, the DTX 320 makes a strong statement. Wide handlebars, pronounced knuckle guards, a high-riding stance, and adventure-spec semi-knobbly tyres give it a look that stands well apart from conventional maxi scooters in its price bracket. Whether you think it looks purposeful or theatrical probably depends on your taste but it is certainly distinctive on UK roads. The DTX 320 produces 21kW, placing it comfortably within A2 licence restrictions without any power restriction kit required. That matters for riders who passed their test in the last decade and haven't yet progressed to a full A licence. 320cc Engine Displacement 28.2bhp Peak Power 12.5L Fuel Tank Capacity 4,799 UK OTR Price Engine & Performance: How Does It Ride? At the heart of the DTX 320 is a 320.6cc liquid-cooled SOHC single-cylinder engine producing 28.2bhp (21kW) at 7,500rpm and 30Nm of torque at 5,750rpm. Power is delivered through a CVT transmission no clutch, no gearbox, just twist and go. For riders moving up from a 125, the difference in real-world punch is immediately apparent. On UK roads, the DTX 320 handles itself well. Urban riding is effortless the engine pulls cleanly from low revs, and filtering through traffic feels natural thanks to the wide handlebar leverage that gives you precise low-speed control. Once out of town, cruising at national speed limit requires no strain from the engine, and overtaking at 6070mph is dealt with confidently. The quoted top speed sits around 85mph, which is sensible rather than spectacular, but more than adequate for UK conditions. What impresses most is the smoothness of the CVT delivery. There are no surges or flat spots across the rev range, and the engine note settles into a quiet, composed hum once above 50mph. For riders who commute through a mix of city traffic and A-roads, the DTX 320 rarely asks you to work hard. "On UK roads, the DTX 320 handles itself well. Urban riding is effortless the engine pulls cleanly from low revs, and filtering through traffic feels natural." Off-Road Capability: How Much Adventure Can It Actually Handle? Let us be direct here, because adventure styling and adventure capability are not the same thing. The DTX 320 is built to handle UK country roads, green lanes, and compacted gravel tracks rather than technical off-road terrain. If you are expecting enduro performance from a 194kg scooter with a CVT, you will be disappointed. If you want a machine that handles potholed B-roads, wet leaves, and the occasional gravel track without drama, the DTX 320 does that convincingly. The semi-knobbly tyres 120/80-14 front and 150/70-13 rear provide genuinely better wet grip than standard road tyres, which is more relevant in the UK climate than any off-road posturing. The telescopic front forks with 110mm of travel and the five-way adjustable rear units soak up poor surfaces with more composure than you would expect at this price point. Ground clearance is usefully generous, and the upright riding position keeps weight balanced and planted. Traction control (TCS) is standard equipment, which further builds confidence on loose or slippery surfaces. It is unobtrusive and does not sanitise the riding experience it simply catches slides before they become problems. In a British autumn or winter, that matters. Wide handlebars, knuckle guards and adventure tyres the DTX 320 looks purposeful and backs it up on real UK roads. Comfort & Ergonomics: Built for Real-World UK Roads The DTX 320's seat height of 800mm sits at the sportier end for a scooter, but the ergonomics are genuinely comfortable for sustained riding. The wide handlebars place your wrists in a natural position, the footboards are well positioned for a range of rider heights, and the seat offers good support across longer journeys. The adjustable windscreen provides reasonable protection at motorway speeds not exceptional, but enough that you will not arrive at your destination exhausted from fighting wind blast. Tall riders may find they want to upgrade to an aftermarket screen for extended touring. That is a fair compromise at this price. At 194kg dry weight, the DTX 320 is not a lightweight machine, but it carries its mass well. At low speed and when manoeuvring in car parks, it feels manageable. Once rolling, the weight becomes invisible. The 12.5-litre fuel tank and a real-world fuel economy of around 65mpg translate to approximately 180 miles of range between stops comfortable for most UK riding without range anxiety. Tech & Features: What Do You Get for the Money? The standard equipment list is one of the DTX 320's genuine strengths. At 4,799, you receive a full-colour TFT instrument display, keyless ignition, ABS brakes, traction control, all-LED lighting, and two USB charging ports as standard. These are features that cost more to add to several rival machines at the same price point. Full-Colour TFT Display Keyless Ignition Traction Control (TCS) ABS Brakes All-LED Lighting 2x USB Charging Ports Adjustable Windscreen Adjustable Rear Suspension Handguards Semi-Knobbly Adventure Tyres The digital display is clear in both bright sunlight and low light, showing speed, fuel level, trip data, and a gear position indicator. Two USB ports are a straightforward practical touch for riders who rely on phone navigation. Under-seat storage is functional rather than generous there is room for a compact helmet or essentials, but the DTX 320 is not a long-distance tourer in the mould of the X-Town. The trade-off for the adventure styling is that storage space takes second place.

The DTX 320 has a specific ideal rider in mind, and it is worth being honest about who that is. This machine makes most sense for commuters and leisure riders who want something with more character and visual presence than a conventional maxi scooter, without paying flagship prices. It suits riders who cover a mix of urban traffic, A-roads, and the occasional rough lane, and who value practicality alongside personality. A2 licence holders will find it particularly appealing it is one of very few properly equipped adventure-styled scooters available within A2 power limits without restriction kits. For riders who passed their test within the last ten years and ride on an A2 licence, the choice in this segment is genuinely limited. The DTX 320 gives them something interesting to ride. It is less well-suited to committed touring riders who need extensive storage, or to those expecting genuine off-road capability. If you want luggage capacity and long-distance comfort above all else, the Kymco AK 575 Premium is a more appropriate tool. If you are a new rider on a 125cc scooter looking ahead to your first upgrade, the DTX 320 is a natural next step genuinely better in almost every respect, but without the intimidating step up in size and weight that a traditional motorcycle represents. Pricing & Value: Is It Worth It? At 4,799 OTR, the DTX 320 positions itself very compellingly against its nearest rivals. The Honda ADV350 the machine Kymco most clearly had in mind when developing the DTX is priced at approximately 5,899, a saving of over 1,100. The Suzuki Burgman 400 sits higher still. The Yamaha XMAX 300 competes more closely on price but offers a notably different character more conventional maxi scooter, less adventure styling. How the DTX 320 Compares on Price When you weigh the standard equipment list against those prices, the Kymco case becomes straightforward. You receive traction control, ABS, a TFT display, keyless ignition, and USB charging as standard, in a machine that undercuts the Honda ADV350 by over 1,100. The Yamaha XMAX 300 often cited as the closest rival offers no traction control as standard at this price point. Running costs are competitive. At 65mpg, even with current fuel prices, daily running remains modest. Insurance groups for the DTX 320 are broadly similar to competitors in the 300400cc class, and parts availability from Kymco's UK network is improving as the model matures. The DTX 320 in Khaki Green a distinctive alternative to the conventional maxi scooter in its price bracket. Verdict The Kymco DTX 320 is a machine that does what it says with conviction, provided you understand what it is saying. It is not an off-road tool. It is not the most storage-efficient commuter in its class. What it is, emphatically, is an engaging, well-equipped, and attractively priced scooter with genuine character that earns its adventure styling rather than merely borrowing it from a marketing department. For A2 licence holders, for commuters who want something interesting to ride, and for riders upgrading from 125cc machines, the DTX 320 makes a convincing argument. At this price, with this specification, and against this competition, Kymco has produced something that deserves to be taken seriously. What Works Well Excellent standard equipment at this price A2 licence eligible without restriction Comfortable on UK roads and B-roads Over 1,100 cheaper than Honda ADV350 Strong real-world fuel economy (~65mpg) Distinctive, purposeful styling Honest Considerations Limited under-seat storage vs conventional maxi scooters Off-road capability is light trail only not enduro 800mm seat height may challenge shorter riders 194kg weight takes getting used to at low speed Kymco dealer network smaller than Japanese rivals Ready to See the DTX 320 in Person?

Economical to run, accessible on a CBT certificate, and increasingly well-specified, the modern 125cc class has never offered better value for money and Kymco's UK lineup sits firmly at the heart of it. 16 Minimum age for CBT (mopeds) 125 Maximum cc on a CBT certificate 11kW Power limit on A1 licence 2,299 Kymco 125cc entry price (approx. OTR) Why a 125cc Scooter Makes Sense in the UK In a country where commuting costs are high, urban traffic is relentless, and fuel prices rarely give anyone a reason to smile, a 125cc scooter makes a compelling argument. You can expect somewhere between 80 and 100 miles per gallon from a modern 125cc machine, meaning a full tank typically costs less than 10. Road tax sits at roughly 26 a year barely noticeable in any household budget. Parking in most town and city centres is free or far cheaper than for a car. There is also the question of practicality in stop-start traffic. A 125cc scooter will filter legally between stationary vehicles and reach destinations in urban environments quicker than most cars during peak hours. For commuters covering up to twenty or thirty miles each way, a modern 125cc scooter is not a compromise it is often the fastest option available. Then there is the licence barrier, which for 125cc machines is about as low as it gets. A CBT certificate can be completed in a single day, and you are on the road. For anyone who is not yet sure they want to commit to full motorcycle training, the 125cc class is a genuine, low-risk entry point into riding. Urban commuting Low running costs Learner-friendly Accessible on CBT Affordable insurance Easy to park What Licence Do You Need? CBT, A1, and the Rules Explained Licence requirements in the UK for 125cc riding are straightforward, but it is worth understanding them clearly before you buy. Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) The CBT is the most common route onto a 125cc scooter or motorcycle. It is not a test in the traditional sense you cannot fail it outright. Instead, it is a structured training course that teaches you the basics of safe riding, both on-site and on public roads. Once completed, you receive a certificate (DL196) which is valid for two years. With a valid CBT you can ride any motorcycle or scooter up to 125cc and up to 11kW (14.8bhp) on public roads. You must display L plates, cannot carry a pillion passenger, and cannot use motorways. The minimum age is 17 for a 125cc machine. At 16 you can ride a moped (up to 50cc), but not a 125cc. If your CBT expires, you must either take it again or stop riding there is no grace period. Most training schools charge between 130 and 180 for a CBT session. A1 Motorcycle Licence The A1 is a full motorcycle licence category covering light motorcycles up to 125cc and 11kW, with a power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 0.1kW/kg. Unlike the CBT, it removes the learner restrictions entirely no L plates, no bar on passengers, and motorway riding is permitted. To obtain an A1 you must pass the theory test, then complete Module 1 (off-road manoeuvres) and Module 2 (on-road riding). The minimum age is 17. Both practical modules must be passed on a 120125cc motorcycle capable of at least 55mph. It is a more substantial commitment than a CBT, but for anyone planning to ride regularly for more than two years, it removes the hassle of renewing a CBT certificate and opens up full riding entitlement within the 125cc category. From 17 you can also begin working toward an A2 or full A licence, which opens up larger, more powerful machines. See Kymco's full range for what becomes available as you progress through the licence categories. What to Look for When Buying a 125cc Scooter Not all 125cc scooters are alike. Once you have settled on the class, the next decision is what kind of machine fits your life. Here are the key considerations. Automatic vs Manual The majority of 125cc scooters use an automatic CVT transmission, which means there is no clutch or gear lever to manage, twist the throttle and go. This makes them significantly easier to ride in town and is the reason most beginners favour scooters over manual motorcycles. If you want a manual gearbox, five or six gears operated by a clutch , you are generally looking at a 125cc naked motorcycle or sports bike rather than a conventional scooter. Kymco offers the Skytown, X-Town, and DTX 125 whihc are all automatic. Seat Height and Fit Confidence at low speeds begins with being able to touch the ground. If you are shorter than average, look for seat heights under 780mm. The Kymco Skytown 125 has a seat height of just 770mm, which suits a wide range of rider heights. The X-Town 125 sits at 785mm still accessible for most adults. Storage For commuters, under-seat storage is not an optional extra it is essential. Look for how many helmets fit and whether there is a charging point. The X-Town 125 accommodates two full-face helmets under the seat and includes a USB port in the glove compartment. If you commute with a laptop, check the storage dimensions before you buy. Fuel Tank Capacity Given fuel efficiency of 80100mpg, even a 7-litre tank will cover 100+ miles. The X-Town 125 offers 12.5 litres, which means noticeably fewer stops for a long-distance commuter. Consider how far you travel between fill-ups. Braking Systems Look for Combined Brake System (CBS) as a minimum on any modern 125cc scooter. CBS links the front and rear brakes so that applying one activates both proportionally, which helps prevent the front brake locking under heavy braking particularly relevant for new riders. Kymco fits CBS as standard across its 125cc range. The Kymco 125cc Lineup What's Available Kymco's UK 125cc range offers three distinct models, each targeting a different type of rider. Here is a clear breakdown. Skytown 125 2,595 OTR The Skytown 125 is the pick of the mid-range. At 770mm seat height the lowest in the Kymco 125cc range it is immediately accessible to shorter riders. The 8.2kW engine (11.2bhp at 8,500rpm) brings it close to the 11kW A1 limit, giving decent road performance without feeling underpowered on the outskirts of town. It comes with three storage compartments, LED lighting throughout, a digital LCD instrument panel, and a USB charging port. Available in Petroleum Blue, Golden Brown, and Flat Black. 770mm Seat Height LED Throughout USB Charging 3 Storage Compartments Digital Dash X-Town 125 3,799 OTR The X-Town 125 is a maxi-style scooter in the 125cc class longer, heavier, and more comfortable for covering distance than the compact alternatives. The 11kW engine hits the A1 maximum, giving a quoted top speed of around 68mph. The 12.5-litre tank means far fewer fuel stops, and the under-seat storage accommodates two full-face helmets alongside a USB-equipped glove compartment. Adjustable rear suspension with five preload positions is an unusual feature at this price point. The X-Town suits commuters who regularly cover mixed urban and A-road routes and want more motorcycle in a 125cc package. 11kW / 15HP 12.5L Tank 2-Helmet Storage Adjustable Suspension ~68mph Top Speed DTX 125 From approx. 3,799 OTR The DTX 125 is Kymco's adventure-crossover take on the 125cc class. Where most scooters are optimised for town riding, the DTX brings wider handlebars for greater leverage, 110mm telescopic front fork travel, adjustable rear shocks with 100mm travel, and chunky adventure-style tyres to cope with broken surfaces and rougher roads. Traction control is standard unusual at this price and capacity. The riding position is upright and the keyless ignition, handguards, adjustable levers, and dual USB sockets make it as practical as it is distinctive. At 13.4bhp from its 124cc Euro 5 engine, it is one of the strongest-performing 125cc machines on the market. If your commute takes in poorly maintained roads or you simply want a more go-anywhere character, the DTX 125 is worth serious consideration. Traction Control 13.4bhp Keyless Ignition 110mm Fork Travel Adventure Tyres Dual USB Every model in the Kymco 125cc lineup carries a two-year unlimited-mileage manufacturer's warranty and meets Euro 5 emissions standards. All are available through Kymco's UK dealer network find your nearest dealer here. Kymco 125cc Range At a Glance Model Type Power Seat Ht Tank Approx. Price Skytown 125 Mid-Range Scooter 8.2kW / 11.2bhp 770mm 2,595 X-Town 125 Maxi Scooter 11kW / 15bhp 785mm 12.5L 3,799 DTX 125 Adventure Crossover 13.4bhp ~3,799 "A modern 125cc scooter can cover 100 miles on a single tank for less than 10 in fuel for urban commuters, the economics are difficult to argue with." Kymco UK Running Costs: Insurance, Tax, and Fuel One of the strongest arguments for a 125cc scooter is how affordable it is to run once you own it. Here is a realistic breakdown of the annual costs you should budget for. Road Tax (VED) ~26/year Fuel (80100mpg, 5,000 miles/yr) ~300400/year Insurance experienced rider (30+) From ~525/year Insurance young rider (1720) 9001,400/year (typical) Annual servicing (basic) 80150/year Tyres (pair, typical life 1015k miles) 100180/pair Insurance is the most variable element and the one most likely to surprise first-time buyers. Young riders aged 1620 typically pay the most, and the scooter's value, your postcode, and any security measures fitted all affect your premium. Shopping around via comparison sites and adding approved security devices can make a meaningful difference. As you accumulate riding experience and a clean record, premiums typically reduce each renewal. Road tax for any motorcycle under 150cc currently stands at approximately 26 per annum a negligible cost compared to a car. Kymco models across the 125cc range are all Euro 5 compliant, which is relevant if you commute within or near any of the UK's existing or planned Clean Air Zones. New vs Used: What's the Better Buy? It is a question every first-time buyer faces, and there is no single right answer. Buying new from a Kymco dealer means a two-year unlimited-mileage manufacturer's warranty, a machine that has never been dropped or neglected, and the ability to finance over a period that suits your budget. You also benefit from a fresh PDI (pre-delivery inspection) and the knowledge that no previous owner has skipped servicing. For beginners especially, starting with a known-good machine removes a variable. A used 125cc scooter will typically save you between 500 and 1,500 on the initial purchase price, but you carry the risk that goes with any second-hand vehicle. If you go the used route, check for accident damage carefully, verify the service history, confirm the VIN matches the V5C, and run a HPI check. A scooter with low mileage but a patchy service record is worth less than one with 8,000 miles and a full dealer stamp book. For a first machine that you expect to drop at low speed at some point, a lightly used example makes financial sense just buy from a reputable source and budget for any immediate remedial work. New vs Used Buyer's Verdict Buying New Full manufacturer warranty included Finance options available from Kymco dealers Latest Euro 5 spec and technology No hidden service or repair history to worry about Buying Used Service history may be incomplete or absent Potential for undisclosed cosmetic or mechanical damage Significantly lower purchase price Lower insurance group value = cheaper premiums Our Verdict: Which 125cc Scooter Is Right for You? The 125cc market in the UK is competitive, and Kymco's range covers it sensibly from end to end. Here is how to match the right model to the right rider. If you want something with a little more presence and modern technology at a mid-range price, the Skytown 125 is our pick of the range for most buyers. The low seat height, modern design, and practical feature set make it accessible and appealing, and the 2,595 price point is competitive for what is on offer. For longer commutes or a rider who wants genuine maxi-scooter comfort within the 125cc class, the X-Town 125 is difficult to match at 3,799. The 12.5-litre tank, 11kW engine, and two-helmet storage make it an adult machine that happens to sit in the learner-accessible category. And if the roads between your front door and your destination are less than perfect, or you simply want a machine with genuine character, the DTX 125 adventure crossover is the most technically accomplished 125cc option in the range. Traction control and 13.4bhp in a learner-accessible machine is a compelling package. Whatever your choice, every Kymco 125cc model is supported by a UK dealer network and the full manufacturer warranty. Find a Kymco dealer near you to see current stock and arrange a test ride.

With a 695cc fuel-injected engine, Electric Power Steering, switchable four-wheel drive with a locking differential, and a towing capacity of 650kg, this is a machine that takes British conditions seriously. The UTV market has grown enormously in the United Kingdom over recent years, and for good reason. Side-by-side vehicles (SSVs) occupy a uniquely practical space: they offer a comfortable seating position and weather protection that a quad bike cannot match, yet they maintain an off-road agility and ground clearance that leaves most compact tractors standing. The question is always which machine offers the best combination of capability, reliability, and value. After spending considerable time with the Kymco UTV 700, we're confident it makes an exceptionally strong case. 695cc Engine Displacement 45HP Peak Power 650kg Towing Capacity 309mm Ground Clearance Engine & Performance: Serious Power, Refined Delivery At the heart of the UTV 700 sits a 695cc single-overhead-cam (SOHC), four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine, paired with a fuel injection system that ensures reliable cold starts and consistent throttle response whether you're idling through a muddy gateway or climbing a steep hillside pasture. Producing 45HP at 6,000rpm, this is not a machine that asks you to compromise on performance. The transmission is a continuously variable automatic (CVT) with High, Low, Neutral, Reverse and Park modes, a selection that will feel immediately familiar to anyone who has driven an ATV or modern UTV. Low ratio provides the mechanical advantage you need for hauling heavy loads or crawling over uneven ground, whilst High gives you the pace to cover open fields and tracks in genuine comfort. There are no gearchanges to worry about; you simply select the appropriate range and the CVT manages everything else with smooth, progressive power delivery. The 695cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine delivers 45HP with broad, usable torque throughout the rev range. The 38-litre fuel tank is a genuine standout in this class. Larger tanks mean fewer interruptions during a long working day, and for anyone covering substantial acreage, or tackling an extended off-road trail, having that reserve capacity is a genuine practical advantage. Running costs are also kept in check by the efficiency of modern fuel injection, which optimises the air-fuel mixture across varying loads and altitudes. Off-Road Capability: Built for the British Countryside British terrain demands versatility above all else. Rocky moorland, sodden clay fields, steep grazing hillsides, and churned-up forest tracks, a UTV destined for UK use must cope with all of them, often in the same afternoon. The Kymco UTV 700 is engineered with precisely this in mind. Suspension: Independent at Both Ends Both front and rear suspension use a double A-arm configuration, with the rear featuring a fully independent setup (IRS Independent Rear Suspension). This matters enormously in practice. Where a solid rear axle transfers shocks from one wheel directly to the other, IRS allows each rear wheel to react independently to the ground beneath it. The result is vastly improved grip on uneven terrain and a significantly more comfortable ride for both driver and passenger. That comfort is further enhanced by generous suspension travel, absorbing the impacts from roots, ruts and rocky outcrops that would leave a less-engineered machine battering its occupants. Long days in the field become markedly less fatiguing when the chassis is doing the hard work. "A ground clearance of 309mm means ditches, deep ruts, and uneven gateways are navigated with confidence, and without compromise." Ground Clearance & Dimensions With a ground clearance of 309.88mm (12.2 inches), the UTV 700 sits high enough to clear the sort of obstacles that regularly trap lower-slung machines. At 2,897mm long and 1,555mm wide, the vehicle's footprint is practical for navigating between farm buildings and along established tracks without feeling unduly large or unwieldy. Independent rear suspension and 309mm ground clearance make light work of British countryside challenges. 4WD, Diff-Lock & EPS: Technology That Earns Its Keep Electric 2WD / 4WD with Differential Lock The electrically selectable 2WD / 4WD system means you can run in two-wheel drive on firm ground, saving fuel and reducing drivetrain wear, then switch to 4WD at the touch of a button when conditions demand. The addition of a locking differential takes this further still. Locking the differential forces equal drive to both axle shafts, maximising traction in the worst conditions: waterlogged fields, deep mud, or steep hillsides where one wheel risks lifting. Electric Power Steering (EPS) Electric Power Steering has transformed the UTV driving experience. Where older machines required considerable physical effort to steer at low speeds, particularly in soft ground, EPS provides variable assistance that reduces driver fatigue without removing the steering feel that gives you confidence on challenging terrain. For professionals spending hours at the wheel each day, this is not a luxury; it is a meaningful ergonomic improvement. Electric Power Steering 4WD Diff-Lock Fuel Injection CBS Braking IRS Suspension Optional Full Cab 38L Fuel Tank Electric Start Braking: Combined Braking System Front & Rear Hydraulic disc brakes at both axles provide confident stopping power regardless of speed or load. The Combined Braking System (CBS) links front and rear circuits to prevent the imbalanced braking that can unsettle a heavily loaded vehicle on a loose or downhill surface, a meaningful safety feature for those regularly descending steep pastures with a loaded cargo bed. Key Technical Specification Engine Type SOHC, 4-Stroke, Liquid-Cooled Displacement 695cc Fuel System Fuel Injection Max. Power Output 45 HP @ 6,000 rpm Transmission CVT Auto H / L / N / R / P Drive System Electric 2WD / 4WD (Diff-Lock) Towing Capacity 650 kg (1,433 lbs) Ground Clearance 309.88 mm (12.2") Wheelbase 1,917 mm Fuel Tank 38 litres Dry Weight 674 kg Dimensions (LWH) 2,897 1,555 1,817 mm Front Suspension Double A-Arm Rear Suspension Double A-Arm (IRS) Braking Hydraulic Disc (CBS) Front & Rear Towing & Load Carrying: A Genuine Working Tool For farmers and estate managers, the headline towing figure of 650kg is the one that matters most on paper. In real-world terms, that is sufficient to move a loaded livestock trailer, a substantial log trailer, or a fully laden equipment trailer around the farm without drama. Combine this with the engine's broad torque delivery and the low-range CVT ratio, and steep uphill tows with a heavy load are handled with composure. The vehicle's substantial 674kg dry weight also works in your favour when towing: a heavier tow vehicle is a more stable one, less susceptible to the snaking and instability that can affect lighter machines when towing close to their rated capacity. The hitch assembly is a properly engineered unit with the maximum capacity label prominently displayed, a detail that matters when staying within legal load limits on UK roads. The engineered tow hitch is rated to 650kg genuinely useful capacity for working farm and estate applications. Cab Options: Year-Round Usability in the British Climate The British climate is famously uncooperative, and an open-cockpit side-by-side becomes genuinely miserable during an autumn or winter spent in driving rain and single-figure temperatures. Kymco addresses this directly with two factory cab options: The Full Cab (2,999) provides complete enclosure, protecting driver and passenger from rain, wind and cold, transforming the UTV 700 into a vehicle capable of genuine year-round use. The Half Cab (1,599) offers a windscreen and roof to deflect rain and reduce wind chill without fully enclosing the cabin, a useful middle ground for kinder weather whilst retaining meaningful protection. Both are designed and fitted as factory options rather than aftermarket additions of variable quality, ensuring a clean, integrated result that competitors at comparable price points struggle to match. Build Quality, Parts & UK Warranty Kymco has manufactured vehicles for over six decades and currently produces in excess of one million units annually. That industrial scale translates into manufacturing quality and supply-chain maturity that smaller manufacturers struggle to match. Panel fits are consistent, welds are clean, and hardware quality reflects a machine built to work rather than simply look the part at point of sale. Importantly for UK buyers, Kymco UK provides full UK parts and warranty support, distributed from Bridgend, South Wales. Parts held domestically means downtime in the event of a required repair is minimised, a genuine operational advantage for any working vehicle. The instrumentation is clear and practical exactly what a working vehicle requires. Who Is the Kymco UTV 700 Best Suited To? Farmers and agricultural workers will appreciate the 650kg towing capacity, the locking differential, the 38-litre tank, and the low-range transmission, all the tools needed for a productive day's work in all weathers. Estate and land managers will value the combination of genuine off-road capability with ride comfort that makes longer property journeys far less taxing than a comparable quad bike. The two-seater layout means a colleague can ride along, something an ATV simply cannot accommodate. Off-road enthusiasts will find a machine with ample performance, excellent suspension, and EPS making it a satisfying and accessible drive on green lanes and off-road parks alike.

Add the half-cab for 1,599 and the total remains well below the entry price of several comparable European and American alternatives, without sacrificing Kymco's domestically held parts infrastructure. The Full Cab at 2,999 brings the total to 13,598 (exc. VAT), still representing excellent value for a fully capable, weather-protected side-by-side with EPS and diff-lock as standard. For businesses, the UTV may also qualify as a legitimate capital expenditure against tax, worth discussing with your accountant. Ready to See It in Person?

With some beautiful imagery, this story is a great telling of how great our VSR 125 really is! Please read below his story; "I have owned just about every kind of motorcycle you can think of over the years including BMW gs1250, Suzuki Hayabusa and others too numerous to mention.I was looking for a cheap but reliable 125 that I could use to do my 40 mile per day commute. The KYMCObrand had appeal to me as they have such a good history of turning out good reliable and affordable bikes going way back to the days when they used to build bikes for the mighty Honda. After a visit to my local dealer I thought that a VSR 125 would be just the job and at a little over 2k on the road an absolute bargain. For the price I wasnt really expecting much and as I already had a Vstrom and a Fireblade in the garage I wasnt that excited about picking it up. Anyway, the day came for me to collect the bike and within the first 5 miles I found myself thinking this is actually quite a nice little bike." "I ran her in with care and had the first service done by the dealer. As the engine loosened up a bit it became noticeably more willing to propel my 14 stone bulk up the very steep hills on my commute to work. As time went on I found that this charming little bike became my bike of choice for all of my riding, even at weekends. It was great fun to go out and plan a route of smaller roads where this bike has more than enough go to be interesting, it also handled pretty well when pushed in the twisty bits. Returning almost 130mpg I could ask no more of it. I had a friend who, like myself is an experienced biker who had also got a 125 so we decided to leave our big bikes at home and plan a camping trip around Wales on our 125s.This coincided with what turned out to be the hottest week of the year. We loaded our bikes up with all we needed. The poor little VSR had a three birth tent, bedding, cooking kit and a whole load of other essentials for a week away loaded onto it plus my faithful sheepskin seat topper that I use on all of my bikes when I intend to put in some serious saddle time!" "We planned a route from our home in West Somerset, avoiding all the fast roads that we could, seeking out the most scenic back roads and lanes. So, to Bristol, over the severn bridge and all the way up through mid Wales taking in the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park and the Elan Valley then riding along the stunning North West coast line, around Snowonia national park and a circuitous route back home camping wherever we could find a site towards the end of each day. We were putting in 8 to 10 hours per day riding with all of that kit, up and down the steepest of hills in blistering heat and the little bike just got on with it without any protest and never missed a beat. I had done pretty well the same trip on my Vstrom a few monthsbefore but this time we were seeking out the twisty back roads and mountain passes which made it way more fun and felt like a proper 700 mile adventure. My little VSR had managed to cover almost 6000 miles in 4 months. I serviced it regularly and it never complained and was always 100% reliable and up for anything I could throw at it. So a message to anyone considering buying one of these charming and surprisingly capable bikes. Dont just commute to college or work with it, chuck some kit on it and go have an adventure!"
