I don't think you mentioned the Buddy Kick has disc brakes front and rear. I was looking into buying one awhile back, and that was one of the features besides EFI that I wanted. I ended up buying a Buddy 170i.
Do you know how fast this scooter goes? Like is it suitable for highway driving? I saw the video of the Vespa drive to sugar pine - Could the Buddy Kick 125 handle that ride?
That’s a good point! Some people like it because they don’t have to get off the scooter at all. They can just watch the pump, put one gallon in and then have no worry of a spill before riding out of there. Thanks for watching!
At this point the buddy 150 is no longer manufactured new. If you find a used one, assuming the person maintained it properly, it’s probably going to feel pretty similar. The 25cc gap in engine displacement isn’t very large. Of course a new scooter would feel tighter and a little more snappy in acceleration in general. Good luck!
Can’t find anything about the liters but I can tell you that it is 15 inches long 1 foot wide at its widest point, 6 1/2 inches wide at it’s narrow point and about 8 1/2 to 9 inches deep.
Do you still recommend the Buddy scooter 125. The seller says it needs a carburetor, my mechanic says it's fishy, it only has 90 miles mileage. What do you think?
It’s a fine scooter if you’re going to ride it often. Carbureted scooters shouldn’t sit for long periods of time. Can’t comment on that particular bike but your mechanic is probably worth listening to. Good luck!
Are there other scooters with shorter seat heights, beside kiddie ones? I sat on this one and I liked the height but was wondering if there is a scooter out there with a shorter seat height.
You can purchase a scooter with just a state-issued identification card or driver's license. Where you risk a ticket is if you operate it on the road and are caught while doing so without a license, or the proper motorcycle endorsement on your license for anything above the 50cc engine size.
Meanwhile, Yamaha scooters used to have some bugs that costing owners to repair. On the other hands, PGO's Buddy Kick has much fewer problems than Yamaha in Taiwan with 20+ million scooters.
