moped/scooter/motorbike ?
what does one call a PCX ? I hate calling it a scooter or god forbid a moped, it just conjurs up images like this
I dont feel comfortable saying its a motorbike either as I'd probably be seen as a liar even if it was technically correct!
So what do we call our beloved PCX's ?!!

aero 50 scooter, PCX scoootar!
Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
In the UK a "moped" is anything two wheeled with a 50cc motor.
The PCX is a scooter.
A scooter is a type of motorcycle.
So call it what you like.

Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
I call it a bike
If someone wants particulars, I'll 'splain it.
Back in the olden days, "moped" indicated it had pedals.

Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
I call it a scooter, because who really gives a fuck? You don't call a Geo Metro a tin can because its an embarassing four wheeled vehicle, you still call it a car.
Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
One thing it is not....."Likker Sikle". A term used around here to identify 50cc mopeds that do not require insurance, tag or driver's license. Most often ridden by drunks who have lost their operator permit.

In the two stroke days we used to call them paraffin p155ers
Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
I just say bike, if they ask what type, i say scooter because thats what it is.
Not really embarassing, its a bike for commuting, most of us have full license so we're not on it because we're restricted lol.

Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
The State of Delaware has declared my PCX a motorcycle and registered it as such.
When I took it through the inspection lanes at the DMV, I told the technician that I wanted to register my new scooter. He told me the PCX is NOT a scooter it is a motorcycle due to the horsepower rating. If I heard him correctly, he said anything with more than 5.7 horsepower is a motorcycle in Delaware. How do Governments come up with this stuff?

Re: moped/scooter/motorbike ?
to me it is a type of motorcycle known as a scooter because it is a semi step through and has an automatic transmission. it is a very cool, stylish and practical scooter to boot!
