Thanks for the replies everyone! Budget is definately a huge consideration. That being said, I purchased a 2009 one owner Kymco People 150 through an Ebay auction for $920.00.  Has 3800 miles and has never been crashed. It was local so I got the chance to check it out before I bid. It was from a guy like me (mid 50s) who rode it to work occasionally. It already has a Shad storage box on the back. I am extremely happy with the deal I got and am looking forward to riding it.

People 150 / Windshield for People 150
« on: September 28, 2015, 07:15:07 AM »
Hello everyone. I just purchased a Kymco People 150 and I am complete Newbie. I am 6 feet tall  and am planning on using my scooter for commuting to work 30 mile round trip. I would like to get a windshield but do not know what would work. I would like it to knock some wind off my hands (helps with cold weather) and would give me a pretty good bubble to ride in, but one that would not hurt fuel economy. Is there any brand made that would do all that? Function is first, fashion is second. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I am planning on taking a motorcycle safety course. I think it will be a great investment. Consequently, the motorcycle license endorsement is a non-issue. In my state, if you pass the approved course, you get the license. I am looking forward to getting started. Will keep ya'll posted.

I just saw a Kymco People 150 for sale in my area for $950.00. One adult owner. Looks to be in good condition. Would this work for me?

Hello all! I am a 56 year old male, I weigh 200 lbs and am 6 foot tall. I commute 30 miles round trip daily to work and would like to purchase a scooter. The roads I travel on are mostly moderately and lightly congested surface streets with a maximum speed of around 55 mph. The average would be about 45. Because of my budget, I have decided to purchase a used scooter and the Kymco line looks like a quality and reliable vehicle for me. I will be doing most of the maintenance myself. I have done all of the routine maintenance on my cars and I am not afraid of taking on a scooter. My question is, which of the Kymco models would be best for me in your opinion? I would like something to be reliable, fun, and economical to operate. I dont know if it matters, but I am not a motorcycle rider. I have ridden a road bicycle and I am a mountain biker. Thanks for any input!
