There is a time slider at the left bottom of the page, you can move and zoom the map by dragging.
And if you click and/or drag on a spot it gives you the co value, i have seen over 4000 on one occasion.

The 2015+ Honda PCX150 is incredibly "hop 'n' go". There is no thought to ready it and onboard storage is abundant. Cost of ownership is a non-issue. Top speed: About 112 km/h in stock form. Urban maneuverability is unmatched.

My Honda Ct125 would disagree.

The Honda Monkey would be even better, but none of the latter have any practical and secured built in storage, ... amongst other attributes.

that's really the crux of the issue...the Monkey has no storage **and** you have to operate a clutch, which makes it worse in traffic and other urban situations. the PCX 150 and the CT125 have no clutch, so they're in a tier above for urban maneuverability. The thing is, my CT125 has far more storage than a PCX150.....so so much more lol. Also it has auxiliary fuel storage, so the range is quite a bit longer.

The PCX150 has deep storage for the practical rider, and it is secure. In addition, I didn't even mention the rider adding a 35L top box - which really isn't needed - but just adds more.

The PCX150 is not good for off-road (even if light). I wouldn't bother. Its strength lies in urban use - like L.A.

Wierdly, the CT125s strength is also urban use, which is why i mentioned it. It dresses up as an off road machine but requires **significant** modification to fill that role effectively, while its real strength in stock configuration is an urban utility vehicle. Its actually better as an urban vehicle than its own variant, which is supposedly intended for Urban use (the C125 Super Cub)

I bet the CT125 has a superior power transfer feel to the PCX150.

Like most scooters, there is an initial lag at motion start-up that is annoying. However, once power and load "sync up" (seconds), it is a sling shot - if required.

Kind of...it's at least chain drive, so the pull is really snappy. I can also gently apply pressure to the shifter lever in gear and it acts like a clutch, allowing me to load revs and launch, or spin tires depending on the surface. the PCX has the same power train and motor as the new ADV150 and I know for a fact that thing smokes my CT125.
