There is a lot to like about scooters, despite what ‘real’ motorcyclists might say about them. The Honda PCX is a good example, which, for 2019, comes as the Honda PCX 150 at RM10,999 and the Honda PCX Hybrid at RM13,499, excluding road tax, insurance and registration.
We liked it, a lot, but as regular readers will know, the author prefers to get more into what is a bike, or in this case, a scooter, like to ride and live with versus just, as some have accused him of, regurgitating a press release or parroting specifications. With that in mind, let us take a look at the Honda PCX Hybrid and Honda PCX scooters.
Starting off, the PCX and PCX Hybrid both come with keyless start, a convenience we are beginning to like more and more in today’s bikes and scooters. While there is the disadvantage of not actually being able to start the machine if the battery is flat in either the fob or the scooter itself, there is a manual over ride detailed further in this review.
In and around the city, the narrow form factor of the PCX makes it easy to zip through traffic. Braking on the PCX, done with a single hydraulic disc in front and drum brake at the back, with ABS omitted. The PCX comes with a taller screen than the PCX Hybrid, which we put down to Boon Siew Honda wanting to diffrentiate visually between the two scooters. For instrumentation, there is a large monochrome LCD panel that displays the necessary information and we found the numerals to be legible under most lighting conditions.
Once open, the rider has access to the battery compartment. However, the steering lock and immobiliser is still activated and the key fob is still required to unlock and start the PCX. The PCX Hybrid certainly does feel more sprightly when moving around and the acceleration felt more responsive. Riding the PCX Hybrid and the PCX back to back made the rider feel somewhat like riding a bike that had just had a service and felt ‘fresh’.
