I have a 2019. I just finished motorcycle safety class and got my license. I love riding it every chance I get. My first real one. Had a Yamaha Zuma and it was great to learn on. I will keep upgrading as I get better at riding. Best of all, I get the biker wave from most riders as we pass. I got my husband into riding, but he has yet to get his license, so he drives a modified Genuine Buddy upgraded 72cc 2stroke. I still leave him in the dust. But I love that we can ride together, even though I ended up having to wait for him.
These scooters are made for SHORT people.....they all look like they are riding a child's bike! I am 6' tall and would not enjoy riding one of these...and maybe that is why they are not popular here in the States.
I took the liberty of my 2018 PCX 150 at the end of last summer I barely put 300 miles on it and I Love riding it I'm 50 and weight about 190 lbs she pulls 62 mph with me easily
Finally a 6ft2 guy test riding a 150cc not complaining the whole time or giving backhanded compliments. It is what it is and its perfect in the right enviroment. They are popular for a good reason. I need something bigger as I live rurally. I'm on highways for at least kms before I hit the next big city. So I need something capable of sitting on 100klms 🇦🇺 Currently looking at mid size scooters eg Honda Forza & Kyro DowntownX 300cc. Maby even a Burgen 400cc or a 250🤷♀️ Im 5ft3 so there's that too lol Tfs
I think 300-400cc is the sweet spot of scooters. Even still, they can be rather bulky and tall, so not great for shorter folks. Piaggio/Vespa seem to have the most compact 300cc scooters. I tested out a Piaggio BV350 back when I worked for this dealer and was impressed with it's power and highway stability. BTW, I'm the one who ahot this video. Nobody frim the dealer monitors this channel, so occassionally I'll respond to comments when I'm bored, lol.
I own a 2015 Honda PCX150 and she is great. Did the regular mods (CVT) and she reaches 75mph GPS then steps on the rev limiter. Perfect for someone with a disability. I am 52 years young 5'9" tall 32" inseam weight a dripping wet 165lbs. I have a disability that limits my motorcycle ride so scooter it is. Looking into the new Honda Forza Yamaha Xmax or Kymco Xtown 300i next. I will keep the PCX for a back up and quick store runs. Salute 07
@@JQUICK21 Yes I know. I was wanting them to bring it to the states or order one from the UK. The older Forza was a nice ride they sold here in the states. I tried one but it was sold before I could get it. 2014 -2016 NSS300
I have that exact bike - pearl white 2018 . I love it 👍🏽 Bought new in 2017 , excellent night time visibility with the standard LED lighting. I’m 250 lbs. , I regularly hit 62 mph.
Good review, although I'd toss in the following (as I have a 2019 PCX in Indoensia and a 2020 Smax in USA:) The PCX is unbelievably smooth with acceleration, especially in the 30-60mph range, and absorbs road bumps like grandma's old Cadillac. Yes, the legroom is fantastic and I'm just 5'8", which makes it really cozy. By contrast, the Smax has more instant throttle response and will cruise comfortably just above 70mph, but with more weight, wider tires and a mid-shock that is very tight with a motorcycle feel. They are two different animals, so my advice is decide what your specific needs are. Power/speed, Yamaha... Smooth, legroom, Honda.
Leg room is fantastic? LOL that is because you are short!....Most people taller than you look like they are riding a child's bike on these scooters....that is why I cannot buy one and will not buy one....
@@JQUICK21 Short or tall, I was basically comparing it to the Yamaha Smax. I own both, one in USA and one in Indonesia. The PCX has more space to put your feet forward. That's what I was conveying. The Smax it's difficult for tall people because the seat hump is too far forward.
I'm thinking about buying one but I do not know what if the horn pcx 150cc oh the yamaha 155cc would like something similar has those something that moves fast that you recommend me
I am 6'2" 250lbs and the PCX fits me just fine. When I ride for extended periods I can shift my body and sit on the passenger seat to stretch out if needed.
Ukrainianification The problem is, people expect it to handle like a motorcycle because it’s one of those scooters that resembles a motorcycle. And then when the delusion that it’s a motorcycle is taken away, they blame the SCOOTER instead of blaming themselves for the delusion. Yes, it “looks cool” (and it is!) but it’s still a scooter, with the limitations of a scooter.
I'm the guy who recorded this. I was using a very low budget mic setup taped inside my helmet right by my nose and mouth, so it made my breathing sound heavier than it actually is.

Larissa Nawalinski is it a lot of work getting your motorcycle license? How long does it take?
I love scooters like these. It's a shame that us Americans are too stupid to see how great they actually are.
I see how great it is; just picked my 2018 up Sunday! 💯💙
@@paulmccarter908 for how much. I seen the same year with 7000 miles for 2300? Is that decent
@@KINGTERIK dunno..it's different wherever one is.

@@JQUICK21 Keep paying $80 every week for gas then 🤣🤷♂️
Thank you for doing a real review. I'm 5'9" 220ish and really was looking to get a scooter for a little get around. Thank you again.
Just bought a 2022 PCX and it's awesome!!! Averaging about 88mpg and take it to the gym, grocery store, all around!!!
I took the liberty of my 2018 PCX 150 at the end of last summer I barely put 300 miles on it and I Love riding it I'm 50 and weight about 190 lbs she pulls 62 mph with me easily
That white does look really nice. I just wish the 2019 model had more than one color. Let's hope the 2020 releases soon!
seriously, whats with the lame red color?! Need black and white and blue and green! D:

Hey buddy, if you see this, can you tell me what specific CVT mod you did? Just picked mine up Sunday, and it feels limited to 62ish. 5'6” 148lbs.
Forza is not sold in the USA....so you must live somewhere else....

"All sorts of storage cubbies"
It has TWO. Effing sales-talk fake news
I bought one of these then quickly traded it in for a Honda Forza 300…. Makes way more sense
Great video! Do you have a scooter like in the same conditions of the one in the video? Where are you located?
Is the NMAX more competent than the PCX or the other way around? what do you people think?

Did they finally fix the valve issue?
i hope it does over 60.my pcx125 does almost 65 and gets to 60 pretty quick.then to max it out it takes a bit.lol
Price
I've seen videos of them on the interstate.
3:25, yours sounds pretty 'dead' at full throttle compared to mine (I've got the '12 PCX150, am 1.87m and 82kg).
Go go Gadget!
I thought 2017’s color was white…
So this might be a 2017 model that was purchased in 2018 before the following gen refreshed.
I'm thinking about buying one but I do not know what if the horn pcx 150cc oh the yamaha 155cc would like something similar has those something that moves fast that you recommend me
The yamaha Aerox 155cc look sportier than Pcx also it costs less. In my country Pcx cost 3700$ and Aerox cost 3000$
English classes...LoL
Do you think someone who is 6' 5" tall with 36" inseam can ride this scooter? This questions is to anyone.....
I am 6'2" 250lbs and the PCX fits me just fine. When I ride for extended periods I can shift my body and sit on the passenger seat to stretch out if needed.
Good
Finally an honest review. Everyone else just seems to beat around the bush and make excuses for this thing

I wonder if he remembered to get his phone out of that little side compartment?
Oh crap! That's where I left it!
What's the top speed it can go?
63, but the next refresh is 71.
But the 2021 model hits 85.
Seriously? 150 TOP SPEED OF 60 something ? The 125 does 65 EASY.
The 125 has different gearing than the 150 and feels snappier off the line till 40mph. I regret selling mine after test riding a couple of 150s.
What’s with your breathing man? Have you been checked?
Luke I am your father.
I'm the guy who recorded this. I was using a very low budget mic setup taped inside my helmet right by my nose and mouth, so it made my breathing sound heavier than it actually is.
You don't breath?
Man, I don't normally get seasick, especially on land but, your intro with your GoPro leaning every which way spun me out. Otherwise a good review.
This one is not 2018
The roads are so empty.
Top speed is 65
