Kymco has raised displacement to 574cc with the AK 575, aiming for the pinnacle of maxi scooters. A Taiwanese brand's stance of competing head-on in the upper segment is reassuring. I'm watching how far Asia-originated scooter technology can hold up in Europe's large-displacement market.

What's actually different between a maxi-scooter and a regular big scooter?
It mostly refers to a category of large scooters that emphasize sportier riding performance.
I still think the wall of brand power is the biggest hurdle to building presence in Europe.
Kymco's AK series gets good reviews for handling, so I have decent expectations here.
At this displacement bracket, running costs will probably climb accordingly too.
Going for the maxi-scooter crown is basically a direct challenge naming the TMAX and XMAX.
574cc is a number that tops the TMAX's 560cc, so you can tell they're serious.
Didn't expect the AK series to stretch its displacement out this far.
