KYMCO Motorcycle

I. Brand Origins: Built on Craftsmanship, Forging Global Trust
In 1964, KYMCO (Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd.) was founded in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, China. Beginning with a technical collaboration with Japan’s Honda, the brand established a foundation of high-quality manufacturing. Its founding mission was to “create personal vehicles that earn global consumers’ trust,” dedicated to delivering thoughtful riding experiences for daily life. Leveraging Honda’s technical support, KYMCO rapidly grew into an internationally renowned motorcycle manufacturer. In 2003, it concluded its long-term partnership with Honda, pivoting fully to independent brand development and global operations, embarking on a new journey of innovation.

II. Product Portfolio: Diverse Offerings for All Scenarios
KYMCO’s product lineup spans traditional fuel-powered vehicles to electrified models, showcasing its technical expertise and market insight:
1. Fuel-Powered Legacy: The debut model C200 launched in 1964, followed by the 1990s hit “Hometown 125,” which sold over one million units, becoming a cultural icon in Taiwan. In 2023, KYMCO reclaimed its title as Taiwan’s fuel-powered motorcycle market leader with a 39.6% market share, proving its enduring product appeal.
2. Electrification Breakthroughs: Since 2017, KYMCO has introduced the Ionex battery-swapping system, directly competing with Gogoro and expanding into Europe. In 2024, its flagship electric model RevoNEX, powered by Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire S2 platform, redefined electric heavyweight motorcycles with retro styling and cutting-edge performance. Models like the MiG9, featuring dual-mode charging and battery swapping, further enriched urban mobility solutions.
3. Cross-Boundary Innovation: The CV-R series (e.g., the white-plate adventure bike CV-R2 and yellow-plate explorer CV-R5) blends off-road capability with urban practicality, catering to diverse riding needs.

III. R&D Prowess: Technology-Driven, Setting Industry Standards
KYMCO’s core strength lies in technological innovation:
1. Engine Expertise: Initially leveraging Honda’s technology, KYMCO later developed proprietary high-performance engines. For example, the 427c.c. gasoline engine in the CV-R5 delivers 4.1 kg-m of torque at 5,000 RPM, balancing low-speed obstacle navigation and high-speed performance.
2. Electrification Strategy: The Ionex system supports both battery swapping and charging, combining lightweight design with long range. In 2021, partnerships with Taiwanese taxi fleets accelerated B2B electrification in commercial sectors.
3. Global Collaborations: Strategic alliances with Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire, Italy’s MV Agusta, and others enable shared powertrain development and design resources, advancing global electrification standards.

IV. Market & Customers: Global Reach, “Win My Heart” Experience
KYMCO operates with a global vision:
1. Local and International Growth: A 35%+ market share in Taiwan, complemented by manufacturing hubs in Changzhou (China) and Indonesia, strengthens its presence across Asia and worldwide.
2. Customer Loyalty: Serving over 15 million users in 60 years, with cumulative mileage exceeding one trillion kilometers, KYMCO reinforces loyalty through continuous innovation (e.g., four flagship models unveiled at the 2024 Milan Motor Show) and robust after-sales support (e.g., 24/7 hotlines and offline networks).
3. Green Commitment: Transitioning from fuel-powered dominance to electrification leadership, KYMCO drives a “Green Energy Revolution,” aiming to become a global leader in energy products and services.
