The Honda PCX is a scooter developed by Honda. It was produced by Thai Honda Manufacturing. The Honda PCX was first introduced for sale in November 2009.
Technology
The global version of the Honda PCX is equipped with an idling stop system, which automatically shuts off the engine after a few seconds of idle. This feature is not included on the US/Canada model due to safety concerns, having a kill switch and a parking brake instead. To prevent excessive wear on a separate starter motor, the Honda PCX uses its alternator by supplying power to the stator (see Brushless DC electric motor). As a result, engine start is completely muted. This same technology was released in the new 2018 Honda Goldwing.
Other Honda 125/150 scooters with eSP share a common engine with the Honda PCX
