Kymco People 150 Commute Video
« on: July 29, 2016, 11:31:26 PM »
Here is a raw video I made of part of my commute home on my People 150. Its kind of long as I am not good at editing yet. It was mainly an experiment with my camera settings and angle.  Aaanyway, the video can be found here;

The mirrors are good. The cockpit view is distorted because of the wide angle setting I was using. I believe the rattle is a loose windshield mounting bolt. I'm  glad you reminded me, I have been meaning to tighten it.  One of my goals was to make a video that was more first person and that included the sound of the scooter. Looks like I got it half-right.  ;D

The 150 seems to go real well.  I only watched about 10 mins of the video but enjoyed it.

Love it. Reminds me of my previous scooter, and makes me miss it even more!

Thanks guys. The People 150 runs great and I find it is ideal for commuting on surface streets. It tops out near 60 gps but loves to cruise at 45 to 50. I am sorry you lost yours, GVL. I just purchased a Honda Helix that needs a little work. As soon as I get that running, I am going to have to sell the People. I know I will miss it.

No, don't sell the People!
You didn't need it as trade for the Helix....don't let go of it now.
Give you something to ride while you're keeping the old Helix running.
Besides...it is a darn sight better looking than any Helix!!:-)
Nice video. ..plenty of chances for excitement on your route.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I know Stig. It is really going to hurt to get rid of the People. It is a wonderful little bike. But I like to keep things simple so it is one scooter for me. One of the reasons I got the Helix is because I think it is so ugly that it looks good! Also it is definitely different from all the others on the road. And it is soo comfortable. I change up the routes I take to get home. There are quicker, more congested ways to go but I like the back roads.
