A: Is it exactly 18mph or 20, or 16?dog64bull wrote:Ok so right now the wind is blowing at like 18 mph and I dont want my scooter to fall over. Which stand has the most support?
From which direction and is it gusting?
How level firm and is the surface and is the scooter facing up or downhill?
Do you live in an earthquake or tsunami area?
B: Why not try the centre stand? It is probably the most obvious? But face the bike uphill.

Center stand. The side stand will have issues if the wind changes direction.
We had two storms recently(talking tropical storm/hurricane). My family put the PCX on its side stand when I was unable to do so myself due to a broken leg, predictably, it blew over when the wind shifted to blow at the PCX from left to right(away from the side stand). Had no such problems when I put it on the centerstand during the second storm, and the wind would have to blow hard enough to tilt it roughly 40 degrees.
I'd also recommend not putting the cover on in such situations, as the wind will catch on it like a sail.
