Am new to this forum and am happy to put in my two cents on the LX150ie. I purchased mine last summer and have about 850 miles on it. Here in Michigan´s Upper Peninsula, our winters are long and cold so there is not a lot of riding time. Mine is the two tone bronze and looks very rich and better (I think) then the picture in the brochure. The LX150ie is everything I expected it to be. It starts instantly, warms up fast and has plenty of power for in town and limited highway use. After 6 months storage (battery tender connected) it started as if it had been run every day. The ride is smooth, brakes are excellent and acceleration very good. I´m just a little over 200# and can still cruise at 60mph. Because of its smaller tires, any rough road riding is a little more bumpy then I would like but not so bad that its a real problem. The fit and finish of the body parts is near perfect. The scooter has a very solid but not too heavy of a feel. I would not hesitate to recommend the LX150ie to anyone looking for a scooter in this size. Thanks for the chance to ramble a bit.
