Is this very nice scooter available in Thailand?

 

 

I'm 99% sure thas this is custom made, so no you can not just buy it in Thailand ????

Yet there is an official PCX sport, maybe not as nice as the one above, but I can't find this sport model on a Thai retail website...or am I not searching correctly?

there is no PCX Sport model on the Honda website

For example Honda Brazil has it, but seems to be just about the color: https://www.honda.com.br/motos/pcx

Maybe it is just how they call it over there...

Meanwhile, has anyone tried the hybrid version? 

Is it worth it?

Never rode it, only seen reviews, in general it seems to be:

The electric motor assists when accelerating, but is limited to 3 seconds

Idling stop shuts the engine off after 0.5 seconds instead of 3

 

Is it reasonable to buy it? I don't think so

Would i buy it? If i were to buy a PCX i might spend the extra 16k for the hybrid version, while being fully aware that it's just for a bit of fun

Do you mean that the scooter cannot run on its battery alone? 

 

I thought the whole point of hybrid was to charge a battery while the engine is burning gasoline, and once in a while to switch on the battery and thus avoid burning gasoline???

Yes, the engine is always running when you are driving (at least according to the reviews that i watched).

Imho it should use slightly more fuel than the standard version, because the energy is converted, but maybe they can compensate this by charging the battery using increased engine breaking.

The PCX Sport at the website looks nothing like the one in the video. Custom job
