Technical Overview
2009 Kymco People S 4T Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Kymco's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Kymco People S 4T utilizes a 49.4 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.1 HP (3 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.4 Nm (2.5 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the People S 4T measures 102 kg (225 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.8-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
