Hey guys, so I was all but certain up until about a month ago that I was going to go ahead and buy a Powermax 150 for scooting around with my girlfriend taking in the beach air down in Cape May and Wildwood as well as some general errand running.
I'll be buying online, there are no dealers close enough to me to warrant the expense of having someone drive me out to them, plus their prices are pretty inflated and I don't mind doing the work myself. I actually look forward to it.
What I'm wondering is whether any of the knowledgeable scooter sages here can offer me any concrete pros and cons of each model, I know more than a few of you have one or the other. I've seen plenty of ride videos and tutorial videos on the EVO on YouTube and around the net, but the Powermax is hard to find anything of substance on beyond kids "stunting" around on them, and dealers trying to sell them.
I humbly thank you all in advance for any help you can offer me in making up my mind!
EDIT: Just wanted to add that we're both about the same height, around 5'7 - 5'8" and I'm a 210-215lbs guy. Not sure whether that will factor in, but more info never hurts, eh?

Hey guys! First of all I want to say thank you for the wealth of knowledge I have gained before ever even making my first scooter purchase. I feel completely confident that I will be able to make any necessary repairs and adjustments and maintain my future scoot thanks to everything I have learned here. I plan on buying a Powermax 150 at the end of this month or early June.
Now on to my question:
The one nagging thing about the Powermax design that I can't stand (and can't really figure out without having one in front of me) is how one might go about replacing the stock gauges with custom ones. Aftermarket speedo, aftermarket tach, etc. Ideally I would like to just install them into the existing assembly and remove the ones inside, but I don't even know if that's possible.
Could anyone perhaps point me in the right direction that has undertaken a project such as this? I'm trying to avoid bar mounting anything due to the design of the bike making the bars inaccessible without cutting holes in the panels covering them.
Thanks guys & gals!
