Engineered by Kymco for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2013 Kymco People One 125 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.4 HP (6.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 75.2 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
