2024 EICMA KYMCO Press Conference Speech Verbatim

 

Opening

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today marks an important milestone for KYMCO as we celebrate sixty years of innovations and breakthroughs. 

 

 

For six decades, KYMCO has delivered first-class scooters, motorcycles, and ATVs, building a legacy of quality, style, and design for riders worldwide. From city commuters to off-road adventurers, KYMCO is here to offer vehicles that not only enhance riders’ everyday lives but also set new horizons for mobility.

 

And now, it’s my pleasure to introduce the next chapter of KYMCO. Today, we don’t just celebrate our past—we unveil the future.

 

 

RevoNEX

Electric mobility is essential to the future of our planet, and KYMCO is committed to leading this transformation. As we continue to explore new frontiers, our commitment to a sustainable future shines through in RevoNEX, our revolutionary all-electric high-performance street bike.

 

The new RevoNEX is a fusion of classic Italian elegance and cutting-edge electric performance. It combines avant-garde design with a timeless look, appealing to both young and seasoned riders.

 

The new RevoNEX expands on the original design philosophy, giving riders five distinctive experiences: the joy of shifting, the thrills of performance, the assurance of control, the sensation of sound, and the versatility of modes. 

 

Every detail of the new RevoNEX has been meticulously crafted to bring riders the most unique electric riding experience. And we are determined to bring the new RevoNEX to consumers in the shortest time.

 

 

 

KYMCO and LiveWire Collaboration

With this, I am excited to introduce Karim Donnez, CEO of LiveWire, on stage to introduce the next chapter of the KYMCO and LiveWire partnership. Together, we are bringing innovative solutions to the market and reimagining electric mobility on a global scale.

Thank you, Karim, for sharing your vision and enthusiasm for this collaboration. I believe, together, KYMCO and LiveWire are truly shaping the future of electric mobility.

 

 

CV-R5

And now, I would like to introduce CV-R5, an exciting crossover that redefines the ADV category.

 

CV-R5 is KYMCO’s latest innovation, bringing a fresh approach to the rapidly growing ADV segment. It combines the rugged appeal of rally bikes with the practicality of a scooter, creating a standout in both design and functionality. 

 

Inspired by the iconic Dakar rally, CV-R5 merges form and function with comfort and practicality, appealing to riders looking for something that dares to break convention.

 

Its purposefully calibrated soft suspension provides superior comfort and stability for everyday riding, while the spacious under-seat compartment accommodates a full-face helmet. 

 

CV-R5’s independent rear swingarm suspension ensures optimal weight distribution and riding dynamics, inviting riders to embark on everyday journeys like true adventurers.

 

 

 

AK Premium 575

In 2016, KYMCO AK550 pioneered the new scooter segment “Super Touring,” capturing the hearts of two-wheeler enthusiasts everywhere. It satisfied the desires of people who demand nothing but the best. 

 

Today, we proudly unveil its successor—AK Premium 575. This flagship model embodies KYMCO’s commitment to pursue the ultimate performance for a maxi-scooter. It takes the concept of “The Thrills of Touring” to the next level.  

 

Equipped with a powerful 574.2cc twin-cylinder engine, AK Premium 575 delivers an impressive 8% increase in maximum torque. It provides smooth and strong output from low-speed maneuvers all the way to high-speed cruising.

 

With advanced electronic controls and safety features, AK Premium 575 makes no compromise between everyday comfort and sheer riding pleasure. It offers unmatched total capability for the ultimate rider enjoyment. 

 

 

Closing Remarks

For sixty years, KYMCO has strived to push the boundaries of what’s possible. And today, we are incredibly grateful to have you here with us at this important milestone of KYMCO’s 60th anniversary. 

 

The new RevoNEX, our partnership with LiveWire, CV-R5, AK Premium 575, represent the beginning of an exciting era in KYMCO’s incredible journey, an era that will bring us closer to an even more extraordinary world.
