2022 Honda PCX160 ABS Engine Specs

Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) joined Motorsiklo Xklusibo (MX) as it celebrated its 14th anniversary last Aug. 20, 2023. MX is a motorcycle-themed AM radio program on DZME 1530, which airs every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The program is produced and hosted by Edwin Go, who is also the president of the Motorcycle Dealers Association of the Philippines. The theme of the celebration was “Katorse sa Norte,” in light of Motorsiklo Xklusibo’s 14th year. The anniversary also marked a milestone as i

According to Department of Energy (DOE) Director Patrick Aquino, out of the 9,666 registered electric vehicles in the country, 8100, or 84%, are e-scooters, e-bikes, and e-trikes. This doesn’t even include those EVs that fall under the L1a, L1b, and L2a classifications because these are not required to be registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO). Naturally, these types of EVs will be the forerunners in the shift to electric mobility simply because they are more accessible to a more s

Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) has been dominating the local scooter scene in recent years, and it seems Honda is bent on keeping it that way for the years to come. Honda has been covering all bases with a presence in all market segments. It even has four models just in the 160cc scooter segment. For the adventurous rider, they have the ADV160; for the executive on the go, there’s the PCX160; and the Click160 is for those who would like to have some oomph in their commuting. The Airblade160, well,

Less than a month ago, we received confirmation that Mitsukoshi Motor, the official distributor of SYM in the Philippines, will be bringing in the SYM - GPX Drone 150 soon. To the delight of many scooter fans, it came sooner than expected. Kudos to Mitsukoshi for making it available just in time for riding season and for going with the model name Jet X150 to ride on the popularity of the SYM Jet scooter series. The SYM Jet X150 features a 150cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve, single-cylinder engine that

Long have motorcycle riders over-poeticized the joy of riding motorcycles. Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), however, takes it to another level by giving science-based facts on the health benefits of riding motorcycles. Honda cites findings in studies made by the Mayo Clinic and UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior on the effects of motorcycling on a person’s brain activity and hormone levels. While the studies made no distinction on the type of motorcycles used, Honda claims t

The Taiwanese brand SYM’s current popularity in the local market is but a pale shadow of the prestige it enjoyed about a decade ago. While its distributor, Mitsukoshi Motors, ranked 6th place in 2022 in terms of market share, this could be credited to the success of the other brands in its repertoire such as Keeway and Euro Motor. Yet, we received confirmation that SYM will finally be launching the GPX Drone 150 anytime soon, our best guess is in March, and it would seem this will be a comeback

In recent months, Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) has been quite busy beefing up its product line-up to cater to the growing scooter market. In fact, they just did consecutive launches of four 160cc scooters this year. Two of which are the PCX160 and the ADV160. Probably the yin and yang in the scooter category, the PCX160 and the ADV160 are polar opposites while being essentially the same. They share a common platform, after all. Both run on a 157cc, 4-Valve, liquid-cooled engine that produces 11.

Ang pinaka-primary function ng mga scooters natin sa ating garahe ay "pang-serbis" o pang personal na commute. Hassle-free nga kasi ang mga ito gamitin at madali ka makakarating from point A to point B. Pero noong dumating ang time para kay Dexter Requilman, isang video editor at vlogger, na mag-upgrade ng ride niya, iisa lang ang naisip niyang bilhin. "Coming from a lower-cc engine scooter, I desired more power for my daily needs" (Galing ako mas lower displacement na scooter, at dumating yung

The KYMCO DT X360 adventure scooter series finally gets a bigger, tollway-legal sibling as KYMCO unveils the CV-L6 at EICMA 2023. KYMCO announces that it will be available in the global market by 2024, and we are quite excited to see it plying Philippine roads…or trails. The KYMCO CV-L6 shares the platform of the widely popular AK 550, making it a potential big hit in the local market. The CV-L6 is powered by a 550.4cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin 8V engine, which produces 39.5 kW and 55 Nm. Wi

Just recently, Honda presented its SC e: electric scooter concept at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. It now makes its European debut at Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA) happening in Milan, Italy. This time, Honda announces that the SC e: is heading for production and will be commercially available in two years’ time. It will be one of the electric motorcycle models that Honda plans to launch by 2025. This is in line with Honda’s commitment to achieve carbon neutra

In a display of solidarity, 2,000 rider-partners from app-based moto taxi service provider MOVE IT gathered at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila, with leaders stepping forward to voice their collective concerns regarding the call to halt the operations of MOVE IT. This is after the House Committee on Metro Manila Development recently proposed the exclusion of MOVE IT from the pilot study on MC taxi services, citing concerns regarding its connections with Grab Philippines. Grab is a leading Transp

Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) recently held the Honda Riders Convention 2023 at The Tent in Las Pinas City. With the theme “Five Decades of Joyful Journey Together,” the event saw the gathering of more than 2,000 Honda Riders converging from different parts of Luzon.

Among Honda’s exhibits at the recently held Japan Mobility Show (JMS) 2023 in Tokyo was the Honda SC e: electric scooter concept. Like the EM1 e:, which is currently available in European markets, the SC e: features removable/swappable battery packs to power its electric motor. The SC e:, however, can accommodate two batteries, which could extend its range up to 100 kilometers per full charge. Honda might still make some changes to other functions of the SC e: since it is still in its concept st

After its initial introduction on September 2023, the Honda Motocompacto finally made its debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. Undeniably, it is the electric-powered reincarnation of Honda’s 50cc, two-stroke foldable mini scooter, the Motocompo. This was sold as an accessory option for Honda automobiles (City and Today) back in the early '80s. While both were designed to fit in most trunk spaces, the Motocompo was marketed as a spare vehicle, while the Motocompacto is presented as a m

Suzuki showcases its extensive line-up of vehicles in the Japan Mobility Show at Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo Waterfront City, Japan, from October 26 to November 5, 2023. The manufacturer highlights its diverse initiatives toward a carbon-neutral future. Among those on display are some familiar-looking concepts and test models that can be expected to be introduced in the global market in the coming years. These two-wheelers are also base models for research in developing future Suzuki motorcycle techn

We Filipinos, at least based on my observation, don’t like to walk. Hence, the propagation of those ubiquitous tricycles that ferry passengers on their last mile (or first mile) journey. Whether you are going to the bus stop or just on your way to the neighborhood market, the so-called King of TODA (Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association) will literally pick you up from your doorstep so you can travel the short distance with relative ease. However, there is another three-wheeler in the trans
