omg i know this one! I have one. its red. 125 cc though, but close enough i hope. Im only fourteen and like normal sized/slightly short I guess. I can sit on it and have both feet on the ground. I'd show u a pic if i could but i don't have a digital cam. There like…i got papers saying how many inches tall, but idk where is. im fourteen though and the feet thuing i just said. so…not too big. I driv it to school ev day. its summer now of course, but thats beside the point.anyway. not much else to say. there's not really heavy. me and my dad picked it up and put it in the back of the truck and then unloaded it.

150cc scooter is actually big. They can go up as high as 250cc. I believe anything higher than that would technically be considered a motorcycle. Most are 50cc because you dont need a license to drive them. It depends on where you live on that. a 50cc scooter goes about 30mph a 150cc….55-60? best guess.

do you want to know the physical dimensions of a 150cc engine, or what kind of power a 150cc moped would have, or the size of a moped one might put a 150cc in?
well you could put together a very small 150cc….maybe 1.5sq foot… it wouldn't be very powerful but normally bikes that use them rely on great power to weight ratio. in other words this engin would only be carrying you and some plastic bodywork, as opposed to a 1000cc car(an average 1liter engin)that might carry 1 tonne of metal… ie decent speed, 150cc with good power to weight ratio could do maybe 50kph. which is handy compared to 3kph walking to school.

A 150cc is a standard size in a vespa scooter.
They do make 200cc engines as well, and have just announced an engine that will be 250cc.
Vespas are quite well made, nice machines.

Scooters go up to 700cc not Vespa's the 150 should get you around and even short trips on the highway. Physical size they are about the same. You do need a scooter license in many states to ride a 50cc and if you are just running around town and never need to go more than 30 or 40 mph that will work for you. Also Vespa's are pricey and you might want to look at Genuine or Derbi and Buddy. Also Kymco and Hyosung make good scooters. These are all well made scooters and not some imported junk that might not last all day.
