Honda PCX150 scooter released this week

Honda says the PCX150 was well received during its debut at the Sydney Scooter Expo at the St. Ives HART facility.

Building on the PCX125, the PCX150 features a more powerful version of Honda's eSP (enhanced Smart Power) engine. This lightweight, liquid-cooled engine boasts a Honda PGM-FI fuel injection system which provides seamless, effortless power delivery via the smooth V-belt transmission, while reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

The PCX150 also features Honda's unique Idle Stop Switch. When enabled, the engine stops running automatically after three seconds at idle, and re-starts instantly when the throttle grip is twisted, this function assists the PCX150 achieve unrivalled fuel efficiency.

The unique front face, large headlight and flowing lines give the PCX150 a presence that belies its size, closer to 'maxi-scooter' in appearance. With regular riding in mind, the deep, dark-tinted windscreen provides excellent wind protection. A low seat height and generous wheel base combine with a relaxed steering geometry to create a very reassuring and stable ride.

Ideal for daily commutes, the PCX150 boasts a lockable storage compartment under the seat which is large enough for a full-face helmet plus another useful storage space up the front which is perfect for smaller items.

Stylish, nimble and incredibly practical, this new scooter will be available in Candy Rosy Red (a new colour for the PCX150), Asteroid Black Metallic and Pearl Himalaya White colours.

The new PCX150 has an MLRP of $4,020 (excl. ORCs). Check one at at your Honda dealer.
