Hello, here's my first impression of my Kymco. I was looking for a moped and as soon as I saw the People 150s with it's slightly larger frame and large diameter front wheel (16") I bought it because I'm over 6' and there are a ton of potholes where I ride.
The bike is still slightly small but good enough for getting around. If you're a taller rider, you may end up riding on the passenger seat rest, which is awkward and a bit of a stretch and the shape of seat foam is not ideal for it. It's workable and I don't think I'd base my decision on it. I think the bulk of the scooter market is Asia and average height is more like 5'8" not sure.
At 195 pounds, power wise it's sufficient, borderline "fun" on flat ground, certainly not thrilling. Kind of slow off the start. I will sometimes even keep my feet on the ground and hit the accelerator, giving the bike 1/2 second to get started without my weight if that tells you anything. I don't feel safe on the local highways as it's pushing it's max and I don't feel like I have any power left over for evasive maneuvering. But I think 300 cc is recommended for any highway riding.
