Since you have both a PCX and a 250cc scooter, you may be in position to compare the 2 scooters.
I have a GV250 and have considered replacing it with a PCX150 since I seldom get on the highway.
How do you rate them for street riding ? and other comments.
Merry Christmas,
The PCX is lighter, quieter and has a lot less vibration than the People 250. Wheel size going from 16" to 14" seems negligible. I don't notice a whole lot of riding difference in town with them, other than the fact that the PCX has a drum brake in the rear, which if you've not ridden such a configuration, you'll want to test that out. The drum brakes aren't as grippy, of course, and in wet weather, they tend to squeak and grab a bit. If on the GV, you have times when you barely use the front brake, you'll have to learn to use it more with the PCX.
Also, on the PCX, the position of the controls for the horn and turn signals are reversed from the GV (and most other bikes). This also takes some getting used to.
You'd enjoy the lighting and the fuel economy on the PCX. I've got 6500 miles on mine, now, and am just now having to consider a new rear tire. The maintenance schedule is also economical -- 5000 miles between oil changes.
