Built around Kymco's atv motorcycle platform, the 2021 Kymco MXU 500i EPS relies on a 501 cc (30.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 33.5 HP (24.5 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 38.8 Nm (28.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 66.9 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the MXU 500i EPS measures 329 kg (725 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,298 mm (51.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
