Kymco Imported the Like 150i to the US for 3 years, 2018-2020. For 2021 they replaced it with the People S 150. It uses the same FI 4 valve engine as the Like but otherwise it is a very different scooter. A few days ago I was at Max Motorsports in Pelham, Alabama. They happened to have 3 People 150s in the showroom.
I sat on one. The riding position was better for me than most small scooters. At 6-2 I tend to have issues with the handlebars hitting my knees when turning the bars. The People had a more clearance for my knees.
The Scooter Manager came buy and asked if I had brought a helmet. I drove there but at the last minute decided to bring a helmet just in case there was something I wanted to ride.
So. he wheeled one of them outside.
I took it for a short ride. It didn't feel as snappy off the line as my Like 150i but still had pretty good power for a 150. It had a much better ride than my like, probably due mostly to its bigger wheels. It has a 16" front and 14" rear. Slightly heavier weight and longer wheelbase may play a part as well. The steering felt way different. With 12" wheels and a short wheelbase my Like snaps into turns RIGHT NOW. The People felt more like a motorcycle with slower, lazier steering.
I only took it up to around 50 but I wonder what the top speed is. I thing it might be geared taller than the Like and be good for a few more MPH. I haven't seen many reviews on this scooter.
