Every one has different desires.
Me for instance, I have a Honda Shadow VT750, in case I want to go on long highway rides, and a 50cc scoot for local travel.
The 150 is good enough for local travel, without the slow acceleration of a 50cc, runs cooler, and as a bonus, if you've ever ended up on the highway by accident, you'd first of all be legal on there (as opposed to a 50cc), and second, it's easy to just ride until the next exit off.
The PX should do 65MPH no problems; and can keep 55MPH maintained regardless of wind or slight uphills (probably on long bridges it might slow down to 50 MPH or something).
On most highways people ride 60MPH. 75MPH is more interstate speeds.

It looks a lot like my cy50a VIP 2011,being it looks more like my VIP,I figured it would be easier to work on. Now to do some research on a PDI for it. New carb.spark plug,get the right oil for it,ect.

There's really not that much out yet on PDI's specific to a PX150. General PDI's yes, but the PX is pretty new. Not too many youtube vids showing up neither.
However, like burnrubber says, it is very close to the VIP scooter, probably their upgraded model.

Looks like a nice scoot! If my math is right it looks like it will run 44.74mph,not bad for a stock 2 stroke. millsc you may have talked me out of a 150cc!Is this a good web sight to buy from? |

I say go for it!
I have 2 of those and they have both been great. I bought one at the beginning of last summer and a VERY through PDI is a must!! I had to work out some kinks ie replace fuel lines, plugs, oil. etc the standard pdi stuff as well as some other things. Fuel anti roll over valve was upside down so it would die after a few mins, Panels were damaged in shipping, Missing bolts at delivery as well as some other things. fuel was leaking from carb.
The reason i stuck with it is I’m a tinkerer by nature so i didn’t mind fixing theses issues. the other reason was I bought mind from the place you listed Provenpowersports. The warrenty service from there was superb! I called them (william) and all i had to do was send some photos and the damaged items were sent out under warranty. after I sorted the scoot out i had no problems for a while until the exhaust bracket broke on the muffler. I welded that one myself as i felt bad (kinda dumb, I know) for asking for replacements like a whiner. After all, I knew it was Chinese when i bought it. lol.
The scoot is zippy. I put a speedo on it as i wanted accurate readings and mine does 60-63mph, Gps verified as well. FYI I weigh 135. I get between 65-85mpg depending on how hard I ride it and if my girlfriend is on with me.
I was hit on it by a car in t he fall and it was bent so I needed a new scoot. I bought another one exactly like it from the same vendor I figured at this point I knew all I needed to to make it just the way I like it. I had a few warranty issues break switch stopped working, but a quick call to William and I had replacements in a few days. I kept my old one for parts. My scoot now has a few mods I made and I love it to death! I put a variator and sliders, cup holder, Gps holder, 12v outlet under seat, Aux fuel tank in trunk. My GF ride the heck out of it when its warm. If you are mechanically inclined I say get one!

I checked out you're web. page an two different company's you are talking about. Not to be mean,but if I wanted to repair new scooters it wouldn't be for fun,I've already got one of those kind!
