New PCX 150 Owner from Melbourne, Australia

Post by ducksnut »

Hi All,

Purchased my first scooter (PCX 150) at Christmas time and have been using it to commute 16km to work. Its been fantastic and is surprisingly zippy for a small scooter. Fuel economy has also been great averaging 260km between fills.

Only performed a few mods - they are listed below, all are now standard in the 2014 model whenever this arrives (later this year in Australia i believe).
- Hump less seat from powerbypcx which has made it much more comfortable for my 6ft 3" frame.
- Also bought a clock from clocksforbikes which is great quality
- Wired up a cigarette socket in the glove box to charge iphone in the glove box or when iphone mounted on handle bars being used as a gps.

Would like to thank all for the ideas and walk through's on this forum as the 3 mod ideas all came from here.

Also recommend the Nolan N43 Trilogy helmet which is a full face that converts to open face. It fits easily under the seat.

Great picture! Welcome to the forum! I like my humpless seat from powerbypcx - gives me room to change position a little during long rides. I also like that I can slide back a bit on it when I crouch down - allows me to still see my rear-view mirrors.

Welcome fellow PCXer! Can't go wrong with that clock or the folks that make them. Quality with a capital "Q" ;)

Sweet, thanks. I take it that the chin protector disconnects and is not like the type that flip up.

Sheeny, Nice hat! Also has an inside sun shield. Loaded with goodies, heh? N-com (communications) ready ;) Wonder how much it weighs. Also wonder if the jaw piece would breakaway should one go down....Or if it would hold fast? Just a thought :roll:
