Take the road into town in comfort, then slow down for the pavement

Some trips are just too far to do comfortably at walking pace. The Kymco Komfy 8 is a road-legal scooter that cruises at up to 8 mph on the road, then switches down to 4 mph when you're back on the pavement — so the next village, the garden centre or the far side of town is back within reach.

It's built around comfort: a reclining captain's seat with a headrest, adjustable suspension and soft air-filled tyres. Rear-view mirrors and full lights and indicators help you feel confident among traffic, and it carries riders up to 25 stone.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Road-legal at up to 8 mph
  Get where you're going in half the time of a pavement scooter. Ideal if you live a little way out and the bus isn't always practical.

• Reclining captain's seat with headrest
  Lean back and let the seat support your back and neck. Kinder on longer rides, especially if you live with back or neck pain.

• Hi-lo speed switch
  One switch drops you to 4 mph for pavements and shops, so you stay within the law and feel in control around pedestrians.

• Rear-view mirrors as standard
  See what's behind you without twisting round — a big help if turning your neck or shoulders is stiff or painful.

• Adjustable suspension and 10" air tyres
  Tune the ride to suit you, and let the soft tyres take the sting out of potholes and uneven tarmac.

• Up to 25 stone (160 kg) capacity
  A sturdy, generous scooter for larger riders who still want a mid-size machine.

• Sliding swivel seat
  Turn and slide the seat to get on and off from the side, without awkward twisting on sore knees or hips.

• LED lights, indicators and USB charging
  Be clearly seen on the road on dull days, and keep your phone charged in case you need to call someone.

• Front basket and bumpers
  Handy space for shopping, and protection against everyday knocks.

Colours available

Glossy Black, Sapphire Blue, Cherry Red and Mercury Silver.

Who it suits best

• You want to use the road and travel further than a pavement scooter allows

• You have a garage, shed or scooter store to keep and charge it

Worth knowing before you buy

The Komfy 8 weighs 93 kg with its battery and doesn't go in a car boot, so if you need a scooter for the car, a folding or boot scooter is the better fit. Its range is up to 20 miles — fine for most days out, but if you regularly travel further, a larger road scooter with bigger batteries will go the distance. As a Class 3 scooter it needs registering with the DVLA, which is free.

Questions customers ask us

Do I need a licence or insurance?
You don't need a driving licence. Class 3 scooters must be registered with the DVLA (free), and many people choose insurance for peace of mind.

What's the difference between this and the Komfy 4?
The Komfy 8 can go on the road at up to 8 mph and has rear-view mirrors. The Komfy 4 is a 4 mph pavement-only version.

Can I try it out?
Yes. Give us a call to book a test drive and we'll check it's in stock — if it isn't, we can usually arrange a demo model.
