The PCX is the most popular scooter in the UK. Twist-and-go, idle-stop technology, smart-key ignition, and underseat storage that swallows a full-face helmet. If you see a delivery rider in central London, statistically they're on this.

Who it's for

Riders who don't care about gears. Couriers. Commuters who park in tight London streets.

Pros

  • Twist-and-go simplicity
  • Idle-stop saves fuel in traffic
  • 30L underseat storage
  • Smart-key ignition

Cons

  • Twist-and-go means no manual licence step-up benefits
  • Wheel size limits pothole comfort
  • Resale tracks demand — best to buy used
