So picked up the Like 150i a couple weeks ago. I have not put as many miles on it as I would have liked, it has been raining here just about everyday, since I picked it up.
I got the metallic Blue. I think it looks great! I'm 5'7" and It fits me well. It's seat is a little higher than my old Chinese scoot. I am still able to put both feet down without a problem. The seat is also way more comfortable. There is an audible blinker alarm. Its not too loud ,but you can hear it up to about 40 mph, which it can prevent you from looking like an idiot with your turn signal on driving down the road. I have ridden a Kymco Agility 50 and the turn signal alarm was loud and annoying.
The head light is bright. There are a couple of roads near my house without street lights, that when I used to drive them on my old scoot, I would have to turn my high beams on and I still couldn't see well. Not a problem the the Like, just using the running lights. With the brights I saw everything.
Its under seat storage is pretty large. Larger than my old scoot. It does NOT fit my full face medium helmet, but I am able to keep some tools, rain gear, grocery bags with room to spare. The glove box has a USB port. The glove box shape is awkward. I can fit my cell phone in it, but its kind of like playing Tetris to get it to clpse. It does not come with a rear rack for a top case, just a grab bar. I looked everywhere to purchase one. I ended up having to use Amazon.fr.(French Amazon.) I found one (Part #gv-sr6109- same as in the US) for a good price (about $80), but its getting held up in customs. I am hoping to have it soon.
As for the ride. It accelerates well. I'm still breaking it in, but it can get up to 50 mph without even realizing it. I haven't pushed it too hard, but I got it up to 65 mph once or twice for short distances. It still had some throttle left. It does idle pretty hard when stopped at a light and there is also a little bit of a rattle coming from directly under the seat , but I am assuming that it just needs to be broken in. I will investigate the rattle soon. Brakes work great, even in the rain. Tires feel secure on wet winding roads.
The speedometer is analog, but everything else is digital. It has 6 bar fuel gauge. It has your normal "Trip 1", "Trip 2", but it also has "Oil Trip", "Belt Trip" and of course the regular odometer. It has a clock, a temp gauge (outside temp, not engine temp.) and also a battery volt meter.
Overall I love it. I'm looking forward to when I can open her up, after she is all broken in.
I tried to attach some photos, but its not working.
