Which Kymco USA models have a Chinese-built engine?

What the Kymco USA filings say about the engines

Kymco USA's filings mix carburettors and fuel injection: 80 rows carburetted, 57 injected. The first injected family appears in 2012, and from 2020 injected families outnumber carburetted ones; in 2027 the split was 0 carburetted to 6 injected. Check which you have before buying anything on the fuel side.

The engine codes on Kymco USA's test vehicles —16 distinct across the filings — are led by KG10SA, KN30E, TE30, KA40 and KB25K. The code is stamped on the crankcase and is a better search term than the badge.

119 of the 137 filings are 50-state (California-legal); the other 18 were 49-state only.

Rated power across the range runs from 1.4 kW to 21 kW (about 2 to 28 hp).

The vehicle builders named are Changzhou Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd., Changzhou Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd, Changzhou Kwang Motor Co., Ltd and Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd. and others — the chassis and the engine do not always share a source.

Each figure is read straight off the EPA certificate rows; the per-family pages below carry the full breakdown for every engine family.
