Low torque has momentum, good material equipped with foot, three-wheel control is good! KYMCO CV3 Rain Battle Test Ride Experience.
KymCO three-wheeled two-cylinder adventure car CV3 since its release at the 2017 Milan Motor Show, although it has made consumers around the world wait for a while, it was finally officially released at the auto show at the end of 2021, and Gwangyang also quickly held a media test ride less than a month later, let us personally experience how it feels to ride this adventure sheep with KYMCO AK engine and three-wheeled mechanism. At present, KYMCO offers a preferential price of 388,000 yuan (NT$) for CV3, and KYMCO also mentioned that it has received more than 100 orders.

Three-wheel ADVENTURE TOURER, comfort first new sheep
The newly listed KYMCO CV3 is positioned in the ADVENTURE TOURER adventure car, the appearance can be found to inherit the bird's beak design of the 2017 concept car, the front face shape extending forward and downward looks quite special, the sharp earth in addition to the strong bird car feeling, but also a little more bloody atmosphere; the left and right separation headlights plus the daylights on both sides, moved down to the directional light position of the bird's beak, showing a different visual experience from the AK 550.
Because the front two-wheel mechanism is quite complex, which also allows the CV3 to have a strong appearance that does not lose the public upgrade ADV model, the exposed frame of the rear section of the CV3 body makes the three-wheeled sheep present the momentum of the sports car, the tail light almost maintains the concept car design, and the light source also uses LED presentation.
Patent suspension Three wheels are more stable, stop the red light without feet
In response to KYMCO CV3 ADVENTURE TOURER comfortable tourism positioning, Gwangyang on the CV3 can be painstaking, first of all, this set of KALS patented double independent suspension suspension suspension system can bring a maximum of 40 degrees of inclination, KYMCO also gives you electronic anti-upside function, can be directly through the handle switch below 12km/h to lock the front suspension mechanism, stop the red light, temporary parking without the lower angle, back to the riding state when the system will also be automatically lifted, but also to the knight flexible front wheel.
Also because of the front two-wheel + rear single-wheel mechanism, CV3 in addition to the left and right hand brake lever additional foot brake, located on the right foot of the brake pedal can control the three-wheel brake system in one breath.
The front suspension lock switch is located in the right-hand position
Waist back, adjustable goggles, heated handlebars! The tour is fully loaded as standard
In addition to the unique design of the above tricycle, KYMCO is also full of ingenuity in many small details, although the space under the cushion is only the front half, but the front and rear seats are directly equipped with waist rest, and even the front seat waist is adjustable by 3 sections of tool-free, so that you will not get tired after riding all day; my favorite design during the concept car period, the modular lock point located under the cushion can be directly installed with accessories such as side boxes to expand more travel performance.
The front compartment holds a full-cover hat, our own SHOEI 3/4 hard hat can be put in lightly, and the front backrest has 3-segment adjustable
In this wet and cold winter, KYMCO CV3 is also equipped with 2 stages of manual adjustment of the goggles, directly equipped with a heating handle, with 3 stages of heating segment adjustment, I especially like KYMCO to integrate the heating switch directly into the left hand control button, after all, some models choose to heat the handle, the switch position is abrupt and awkward as if it is installed by itself.
The heating switch and driving mode switch key are located in the left handle plate position, and the fixed speed control is also operated by the left hand.
Smart meters, adjustable ride modes! Technology is fully equipped, the instrument style is also different from the concept car period, abandoning the common universal version of KYMCO at that time to replace with a large-size TFT instrument, the same equipped with Nodoe intelligent system can directly navigate, set the tablecloth and other functions, but in the CV3 instrument function has evolved significantly, increase the screen to moderately increase the tire pressure number; power mode also has POWER, RAIN two choices, brake has ABS to improve safety; although the use of Taiwan may not be high, But KYMCO also introduced a cruise control function on CV3, of course, the KEYLESS that can now be seen on krv is also the standard CV3, through the above introduction, it should not be difficult to see that KYMCO put all the good materials suitable for tourism to this three-wheeled sheep.
The meter has a Nodoe smart feature
Derived from AK, low-revel band strength double-cylinder heart. I myself think that the most attractive point of the CV3 is that this 550.4 c .c twin engine derived from the AK 550 has a maximum horsepower of 51ps@7, 500 rpm, a maximum torque of 52Nm@6,000 rpm, although the CV3 dry weight has reached 265 kg, but the low-rotation power of the AK explosion in the past is still quite expected.
The CV3 has two ride modes
We've had a good impression of the AK 550's power in the past
The key first three wheel specifications, the front wheel uses double 110/70-13 specification tires, with two sets of dual piston calipers; the rear wheel 160/60-R15, the transmission mechanism continues the PTM belt system seen on AK and KRV, and the CV3 specifically uses a narrow belt to reduce weight. The whole car adopts an aluminum alloy frame, which reduces the weight of the body by 39% while improving rigidity, and the exposed design of the rear half of the frame looks quite rugged, with a bit of ADV car flavor, and the seat height is also pressed at 795mm.
Front 13-inch, rear 15-inch tire configuration; transmission mode is belt drive

Low twist fist to meat Fun! Weight is not a problem, but it is still flexible
Based on the good impression of KYMCO AK 550, the CV3 with two more wheels did not disappoint us, sitting on the car, pressing the engine start button, the two-cylinder sound wave that was as shocking as the drum was quite distinctive, the original fear of more than 260 kg of car weight will be burdensome, but under the front wheel electronic locking blessing, you can calmly step on the locomotive, and reduce the process of needing to straighten the car from the side column state and kick up the side column. The light throttle is equipped with an automatically unlocking front wheel suspension mechanism, and the pressure caused by the weight is completely not felt during the process. Conversely, when the CV3 is about to stop waiting for a red light to glide at a low speed in the city, the lock button can let you avoid your feet the whole time.
The rider is 180 tall and needs to be slightly padded on the heel
Automatically lock the suspension to improve the ease of use, temporarily stop on the flat road, and even the side columns do not have to be lowered.
Turn down the KYMCO CV3 throttle, you will find that even if the weight of the car is 37kg more than the AK 550, but this 51ps horsepower, 52Nm torque twin-cylinder engine low rotation is still strong, increase the right hand opening can still produce a fist to the meat acceleration feeling, but this person + car more than 300 kg of the big guy brake needs a longer distance, riding a friend who is used to sports street cars or white-label speed keda needs to get used to it a little.
I think everyone should find that we are raining today for the CV3 test ride experience, but there is no obvious gap between the power/RAIN two power modes low-turn reaction, still need to delicately control the throttle opening, plus but in the face of Yangmingshan Diao's small bend mountain road, CV3 brings me far more flexible performance than expected, heavy suspension damping plus strong body size, in line with the CV3 set of tourist car comfort tone, and even for a moment, CV3 brought me similar to riding HONDA The dynamic feel of GOLDWING.
During the ride, the manhole cover was pressed, the slightly sliding front wheel immediately returned to circulation, and even the white-card Sukda photographed by our peers was obviously released by CV3 in the slippery corners, and indeed in this extreme weather, you can fully experience the additional stability of the tricycle.
epilogue
Just as I expected at the beginning, the KYMCO CV3 of AK engine + three-wheel mechanism is indeed fun, strong torque and acceleration, still has enough flexibility, with the sense of stability of the three-wheel mechanism, it really makes KYMCO CV3 a full range of fun cars, want to travel less burden, more wheels CV3 should be able to meet all your needs.
