Gone in 55 Seconds

Every 55 seconds in the world somebody is buying a Kymco product.

Kymco Australia



That’s right, each one of the 570,000 Kymco vehicles sold last year were gone in a mere 55 seconds!  In fact, the company has manufactured over 4.5 million scooters, ATVs and motorcycles this decade alone! 

Why?

Because since 1963, Kymco has known nothing but quality, reliability and style in everything they do. But don’t listen to us.  Listen to our ISO 9001 (the world manufacturing quality assurance rating), listen to the Japanese and European manufacturers who rely upon our components in their own machines, or listen to our millions of happy customers around the globe. But most importantly, we stand behind our product as the most reliable on the market – evidenced by our 4-Year Warranty on scooters and 3-Year Warranty* on ATVs.



DID YOU KNOW?   

  • Kymco was established in 1963 to manufacture parts and components for Honda. 
  • Honda, in fact, was a major shareholder in Kymco until the 1990’s
  • Kymco is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of power-driven products       
  • Kymco manufactured their first scooter in 1970 and began marketing under the Kymco brand name in 1992·        
  • Kymco has manufactured over 4.5 million vehicles this decade alone·        
  • Kymco sold over 570,000 vehicles last year·   
        
  • Every 55 seconds, someone somewhere in the world is buying a Kymco·        
  • Kymco is one of the few “self-sufficient” companies across the globe, manufacturing almost all of its own components, including carburetors·        
  • Kymco has been awarded ISO 9001 – the world manufacturing quality assurance rating·        
  • Kymco manufactures components for Arctic Cat·        
  • Kymco manufactures engines for BMW (the G450X enduro engine)·        
  • Over 17% of the substantial Kymco workforce is dedicated to research and development·        
  • Kymco’s headquarters are in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and the company manufactures through five production factories across Asia·        
  • Kymco was the fourth largest scooter manufacturer in Australia last year – AND GROWING FAST!!!




For the past nine years, Kymco has been successfully marketing its range of scooters under the BUG banner to become the fourth largest scooter manufacturer in Australia.  BUG scooters have been re-branded to Kymco in 2009.  Further to this, the company has just launched a tough and reliable range of All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s) tailored for Australian conditions, and will introduce a range of entry-level motorcycles to the market in September of this year.     

While still in its relatively early stages in Australia, Kymco is an absolute global phenomenon.  The company manufactured over 570,000 vehicles last year, which means that every 55 seconds someone, somewhere in the world was purchasing a Kymco.

And at Kymco, they know nothing but quality in everything they do.  The company has been awarded ISO 9001 – the world manufacturing quality assurance rating.  Kymco has also forged a strong relationship with the global scooter and motorcycle industry, manufacturing engines for BMW Motorcycles and components for a number of European and Japanese manufacturers. 

Kymco, in fact, was established to manufacture parts for Honda in 1963.  The company manufactured its first scooter in 1970 and began marketing under the Kymco banner in 1992.  The BMW G450X enduro engine (manufactured by Kymco) has won huge acclaim and adds yet another feather to the Kymco cap.

Kymco’s headquarters are located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and the company manufactures through five production factories across Asia.  Over 17% of the substantial Kymco workforce is dedicated to research and development alone, including developing tailored products for global markets such as Australia and New Zealand.
