Honda PCX

The 2023 Honda PCX 150, while excellent for city commuting and short to medium-distance rides, may not be the most suitable option for long-distance rides due to several factors. It features a 156.9cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, which, although efficient and powerful for its size, may not provide the same level of comfort and power as larger engines over extended distances. The scooter has a seat height of 30.1 inches and a wheelbase of 51.7 inches, which can be comfortable for shorter trips but might become less so on longer journeys. Additionally, the storage capacity, while ample for daily needs with its large underseat storage, may not be sufficient for the luggage requirements of long-distance travel. The V-Matic automatic transmission and front-wheel ABS do enhance ease of use and safety, but overall, the PCX 150 is better suited for urban and suburban riding rather than long-distance touring.

The decision depends completely on what features you need. There are plenty of practical modification options available for luggage solutions and phone mounts. Performance modifications prove challenging during installation, which makes them impractical for many users.

When I made the move to an electric scooter from my PCX, I instantly fell in love with it. The instantaneous torque propulsion drives me as it operates without generating any noticeable noise. Using this alternative, I have achieved substantial savings on fuel and maintenance costs.

I never experienced any difficulties when riding in wet weather. The PCX 160 gives a stable ride experience while maintaining an engine that prevents movement loss through abrupt power increases. Every ride requires common sense to operate the scooter safely in wet weather conditions.

The PCX delivered a fuel efficiency of 2.3L/100km (102 mpg) after covering 10,000 kilometers. When the scooter was new, its performance surpassed current levels but remains surprisingly efficient. To maintain good efficiency, you need to perform regular maintenance.
