I would go LED if possible over HID. I have seen too many lamp housings damaged by the excess heat generated by HID bulbs. You get a ton of light from a 15 or 20 watt LED headlamp bulb compared to a 55 or 65 halogen and at much lower temperatures. Appreciate that. Just tired of changing out bulbs so frequently. |

So..... my pcx has great lights.... no denying that guys... but my wife has a 150 baccio bro... and it has bulb lights like little 50 cc scoots....
I was wondering if you could put HID set up. On the Baccio Bro 150cc (the light set up is the same as the Yamaha zuma.
Please give me advice... is HID worth?? Its great in the acura 4dr (the family car)... just want to know if anyone had any experience with this.

Thanks! Had to update my browser, would not let me post pics for the longest. My wife loves it, thats what matters. She just broke it in, i like changing the gear and engine oil at 300 km, the manual says 300km for the engine oil on first change... but i like doing both, so i dont forget about it. Ill post a ride vid in a few days |

Very Cool!  What color did you get?  Black with white and red details (the name of scoot stickers, the rear springs on the shocks) |

Allll righty, i will post a pic of the new (awesome riding) Baccio Bro 150 that i got for my wife.
New riders pros and cons about the bike.
Pros: dual rear shocks almost work as well as the pcx, so bumps aren't killin me, dual heallights were not as bright as i thought, but having two really catches peoples attention and the high beams work great. The left hand is set up the bets way IMO with the horn on the bottom, eith the turn signal in the middle, the taotaos had been switching the horn and turn signal. The bike is.... for lack of better words, amazingly quiet i havent opened the bike all the way cause of the breakin period, but my goodness, even from a stop the bike just purrs all the way to 35 mph. The nobby tires are just great for handling and gripping the road.
Cons: the under seat compartment is a bit smaller than i expected and is exactly like a 50cc taotao compartment, just a hair bigger, but it is almost entirely water tight, the side view mirrors are pretty much a blur when you are below 30 mph cause of the vibration, gonna work on a insulator for my wife... see if i can get the buzz down. The seat rides perfect for me.. but not as comphy as my pcx... my wife thinks its a little high for her... might buy a lowered custom seat for her.
Not much wind protection (but thats minor for my wife since she barely speeds past 40)
AND THE BIGGEST CON OF THEM ALL. They did not tight fit the battery on the floorboard... so every bump that i dont feel, my battery does and i can feel it on my feet bunpin around in the compartment for it... im gonna wedge something fire proof down there to just shrink the wiggle room the battery has. SUGGESTIONS???
All in all, the bike is a blast, strictly comfortable for one person, although it has the foot spots for 2 people, my wife and i drove on it together and we both agreed that if any tandem riding is to happen, it will happen on the pcx; but that aside it does have the power for 2 people easy, just looses alot of pickup.
But yeah great bike, cant wait to put led lights on the bottom and do some upkeep and regular maintenance on it. Just got a gopro as well, so ill be posting some ride vida on the pcx and on the bro, so you guys can somewhat experience the nightmarea of miami and broward county driving.
Have fun, keep scooting.
Ps, my wife got all the gear she needs now... and looks like a robocop badass, so yeha, we pretty much look like a scooter gang!!! Hahah

Found it guys!! Found two dealers that sell the baccio bro 150. Unfortunately, the first one I went to was crooked as heck! Wanted me to shell out 1850$ for it... i talked him down to 1600 cash... but I did not jump on it since I was in route to work and the shop was on the way. So I called another dealer that is a distance from me but I can make it on the pcx. I called and asked how much they would sell me for a bro 150 if I paid all out in cash.... They said 1200 is pretty standard... 12000 FRICKIN DOLLARS... i was so angry... i was about to go to the other guy and strangle him for trying to ring out the money from me... i would of understood if they offer ends it for 1600 and they were just being competitive to the guy that sells for 1800... but seriously??!? A 600 dollar difference, not including tax title and fees....
If anyone needs the 411 on a approach with caution dealer, ill let you know that Salento Scooters in hollywood Florida on US1... not cool man..
Like I even called the wholesaler to find out how much they sell them to the dealers, they sell them for 859 to 950. That's already a gold profit margin, but almost double the price in profit is just robbery.
I'll post pics if and when I get it, still have to go and trade in / test drive.
Be safe and scoot on

So my widea wants me to give her choices on what scoot to get for her next one.. a 150. She's prone to the Chinese... likes the 50cc look... so I was thinking of a peace sports tpgs801. I sold her  modded TAOTAO ZUMMER.. she loved that one with all her heart, but wants something a little faster... Remember, I did all the repairs and upgrades to the Zummer so Im not intimidated by some Chinese engineering. Here's a photo of the one she's thinking about that I also like  So... its a 150, it has handle covers which I really like, and has a 2 gal tank... finding a dealer that has emerged is tough but I did, waiting on them to order more. It's only 1100 at the store, which compared to pcx new is really cheap (although I was just gonna a get a used pcx off Craigslist. So i need your guys help, anyone have peace sports scooter? If so could you tell me the good and the bad about it?? It would be most appreciated. Thanks guys Side note: the one I'm gonna buy is newer and does not have the exhaust set up that the one I have a pic of has, it has a 50cc looking set up. Pps: I really do what to have a pcx squad, but my wife gets what she wants me to get her. So let me know and I'll let yall know |

Selling my wife's Taotao 85cc bbk Zummer scooter, visually neat and perf condition except one time she got off it and it toppled over cause she was new to it, leaving a rubbed off section on the handlebar. Either than that, my wife drives it like an old lady, no WOT from what she tells me (believe me, she drives like my mom, cautious and slow as ). Tops out at 49 while i drive it, but thats when im hunched over. Over all great at handling, fat tires and smooth ride.
Ive done all the required oil changes and proper breakin driving for the first 500 km. I changed the oil ever 500 k because im super nuts about what keeps my engines from overheating. Has a brand new air filter on it on the carb that is performance rated and has splash guards on it to keep most water from hitting the air filter.
Just over 2000 k on it. I outfitted the bike with led undercarriage lights to make it glow and more visible at night. It is white in color. I am unable to post pics because i cant do it through my phone for some reason.
Selling it cause my wife wants a pcx like me Lol... i told her i would buy a used one when i first got my 2016 pcx brand new off the lot. She never had been on a scooter alone so i got her the 50 cc instead.
Initially i was very skeptical about chinese scooters, i have heard everything bad about them, this one broke that mold, only gave me one turn signal wiring issue i replaced myself. I even catch myself riding it when im going down the block.
If you are in south florida, and are interested in seeing pics or actually driving it. Hit me up through email or text
Email: Sunsetrex@gmail.com
Phone: 305 609 8472
I bought it for a a grand (1000)
But ill letit go for cheaper than that, and seeing that i upgraded it, ide say its a deal.
Thanks guys, let the word out and keep on riding.
