Clutch and 6-speed gearshift

It has a 6-speed gearshift, so the electric motor can always be kept in the maximum power range. Also a clutch is available. As a result, you can sometimes play on the gas without that this is immediately converted into propulsion. For switching under the ride, the clutch is not needed. With a special slipper clutch you can also shift the gears up and down. This should give a familiar driving experience.

Artificial engine sound

To mimic the engine sound of a gasoline engine, a multi-frequency acoustic generator was installed, which generates the sound of a gasoline depending on load and speed. Turning the engine higher makes the sound louder and brighter.

However, not much is heard in the video. If that’s all, then you could have saved yourself that too.

Kymco also donated the SuperNEX the so-called Full Engagement Performance Package. It includes leek, wheelie and traction control as well as ABS.

Whether the Kymco SuperNEX will come on the market as a production motorcycle is still open.
