What are the long-distance riding experiences of PCX150?

1. Strong Power: When traveling, with two people and photography equipment totaling 370 pounds, the new PCX150 can maintain a stable cruise at 90 km/h on national highways without any issues. When overtaking, even with the throttle fully open, it can easily surpass most cars. Even with a passenger, the PCX150 still accelerates well without feeling sluggish, especially in the final acceleration phase after 80 km/h, which remains impressive (this is quite rare for a small-displacement scooter). Overtaking on national highways with a passenger still feels confident. 2. Excellent Stability: In calm and windless conditions, riding with a passenger below 95 km/h (as shown on the speedometer) feels very stable without any sense of drifting. Between 95-100 km/h, there is a slight sense of drifting (solo riding does not have this drifting sensation). The key factors are wind and road conditions—on smooth roads without wind, there is no drifting sensation. However, in windy conditions, the sense of drifting can start around 85 km/h, especially with crosswinds, which is unavoidable for small-displacement motorcycles. The PCX150 handles wind resistance well. 3. Braking Performance: No matter how careful you are during motorcycle trips, emergencies are inevitable. On national highways, I encountered two emergencies, and in city riding, I also faced two. These involved cars, tricycles, electric bikes, or pedestrians suddenly crossing the road or turning without looking—some people seem fearless when turning or crossing. During several emergency brakes with a passenger, the speed was above 60 km/h, and once on a national highway, it was close to 80 km/h. In these situations, I instantly locked the rear brake (left hand) while releasing the throttle and applying strong pressure with one finger on the front brake (right hand—during normal riding, I keep one finger on the front brake, applying about 2/3 of the maximum braking force). Even with a passenger, the PCX stopped steadily without any skidding.
