Kymco Like 150

The Kymco Like 150 features an incredible design. Rather than depending on the stressed-skin approach, a suitable underframe supports the structure. The factory toughened up the bones by ditching the single-downtube setup in favor of a double-downtube/double-cradle frame that is significantly stiffer than the previous model.

The front end is supported by hydraulically dampened 33 mm telescopic forks with 3.74 inches of travel, while the swing-mount rear end is controlled by a set of coil-over rear shocks with 3.39 inches of travel and adjustable preload. The cast wheels could be larger with 12-inch diameters, but at the end of the day, they fit nicely with the design, and there's something to be said for that.

The Kymco Like 150 flaunts an exquisite ride quality. The handling is extremely fluent. The Like 150i is predictable and intuitive, and it will cheerfully whiz through traffic with little effort. Its short wheelbase (less than 52 inches) makes it a quick-witted vehicle. It's also fairly stable, thanks to chassis modifications and a low center of gravity due to the fuel tank being located under the floorboards. Its considerable compliance, as well as its outstanding lock-to-lock steering capabilities—ideal for navigating tight city parking options—will surely appeal to novice riders.

The chassis settles swiftly and without complaint while navigating potholes and other obstacles thanks to well-designed dampening. Overall, the suspension is well-suited to the speeds and riding styles expected by the great majority of owners. This scooter is known for its effective handling.

The Kymco Like 150 is powered by a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled SOHC engine that churns out a power of around 7.24 hp and an impressive torque of around 9.1 Nm. The four-valve thumper that powers the Like 150i has a 59 mm bore and 54.8 mm stroke for a total displacement of 149.8cc, just on the edge of the indicated 150 cc threshold. With a single overhead cam to handle the timing of the poppets, the valvetrain is both light and simple. The push-o-line is metering with electronic fuel injection to provide an economy of 85 miles per gallon. 

The power statistics are pretty much what you'd anticipate. The engine produces enormous power and impressive torque with a fascinating peak speed, according to the manufacturer. When compared to a liquid-cooled engine, forced-air cooling minimizes waste heat while also providing the benefits of simplicity and less weight. A continuously variable gearbox, like a CVT, employs a belt-and-pulley system to maintain the engine in the useable power range, with the twist-and-go action and smooth, clutchless shifting.

The braking power of the Kymco Like 150 is terrific. The 220 mm single rotor two-piston caliper front brake and the 200 mm rear brake assist the ride in troublesome situations. This scooter is equipped with premium ABS to ensure the safety of the rider.

This scooter is also equipped with a wide variety of safety features like the ABS, the pass switch, the side reflectors, the shutter lock, and much more. The manufacturers have worked a lot on the safety section of this scooter. 

The Kymco Like 150 is the ideal ride for all those ardent riders who are in pursuit of high-performing scooters. The incredible handling of this scooter and the reliable engine make it one of the most popular ones in Malaysia. The superlative braking quality and the surreal design are other major highlights. This ride can easily meet all the demands of the zealous riders.
