Hi I have just bought a people 16fi and ridden it back to cambodia from Vietnam. I got a good deal on it in Vietnam its a 2013 model and only has 14000kms on the clock. The problem I am having is it won't go over 85kmh. I think that's a like low even for a 125..my bike had a tps error when I bought it but it now has a tps and ecu as its a combined unit on the throttle body on this model. It was an original kymco part fitted by the shop under warranty. Its very good on fuel and goes very well but sadly no top end.

That would be about 52.85 mph which sounds about right for a 150 and close to what my 150 runs. Don't know your weight or any other factors.
I consider my 150 a around town Scooter.

Yeah, that seems low for a healthy 150. Probably @10mph low.
At 5yrs & 14000k the belt may need changing.
Have you tried changing the roller weights?
Chat with a couple of shop owners -- see what they suggest about belt and/or weights?

I took my people 150 out today and top speed with the wind was 60 mph on the speedometer. Going into the wind was 55 mph. The GPS indicated my speedometer is about 10% off. 36 mph was 33mph. Mine has a little over 5k miles on it.

Mine is only a 125cc not a 150cc so maybe it's OK then. I've had it a while now and I am very happy with it.
