Engine, fuel use and the confirmed technical data of the Honda PCX

Honda PCX 125 engine – 125 cc and 9 kW for category A1

Economical, quiet and built for everyday use

The Honda PCX 125 runs a 125 cc single cylinder producing 1. That places it exactly within category A1, which in Switzerland is open from the age of 16. Drive is through a continuously variable automatic transmission – there is no clutch and no gear changing.

Fuel consumption is around 2.1 l/100 km. Combined with the 8.1-litre tank, that gives a range which carries commuters for weeks between fill-ups. For many of our customers this is precisely why the PCX wins out over the car and public transport.

Every figure on this page comes from our own stock. Full details of an individual machine – colour, mileage, equipment – are shown in the detail view of each scooter further down.

Common questions about Honda PCX technology

The PCX 125 has a 125 cc single cylinder producing 1 with a continuously variable automatic transmission. That output is the upper limit of category A1.

Consumption is around 2.1 l/100 km. Together with the 8.1-litre tank, that makes the PCX one of the cheapest ways to get to work every day.

The tank holds 8.1 litres. At around 2.1 l/100 km, one fill-up covers very long commuting distances.

The PCX 125 requires category A1. How to get there is explained on our page about the Swiss motorcycle licence.

No. The PCX has a continuously variable automatic transmission – open the throttle and ride, with no clutch and no gear changes.

The Smart Key is a keyless access system: the fob stays in your pocket and the scooter is unlocked and started with a rotary control. It is part of the equipment on the PCX 125 DX.

FAQ used & demonstrators

Common questions about a pre-owned PCX

Pre-owned scooters are available on request and change constantly. If the list on this page shows none, there is none in stock – tell us what you are looking for and we will get in touch as soon as one arrives.

A scooter from our demonstrator fleet: little used, technically as new, usually with the balance of the warranty – and cheaper than a new machine.

The service record, variator and drive belt, brakes, tyre age and the state of the battery – on a scooter those are the parts that drive running costs.

Yes, including older ranges and other makes. We appraise the machine here and credit it against the purchase.

Yes, for a contribution towards costs which is credited against a purchase. Please book in advance so the scooter you want is ready.

That depends on the age and mileage of the individual machine. Demonstrators often still carry the factory warranty – we tell you exactly what applies to each one.

4Accessories, custom & workshop

Genuine accessories for the Honda PCX – fitted in our own workshop

We stock the genuine Honda accessory range for the PCX 125 and PCX 160 and fit it too. The most requested parts one by one.

I am interested in accessories for the Honda PCX 125

Ask about accessories

Honda PCX top box and luggage rack

Storage for helmet and shopping

There is already room for a helmet under the seat of the PCX. Anyone commuting daily gets much further with a top box: a second helmet, rain gear and a bag disappear into it with nothing strapped down.

We fit rack and case properly and key them alike with the vehicle.

Honda PCX screen and windshield

Wind protection for open roads and winter

Honda PCX125 genuine accessories – tall screen on the scooter

A taller screen takes pressure off chest and helmet as soon as you leave town. In winter it keeps the cold off as well.

The right height depends on your build. Sit on the scooter here and we will choose it together.

Honda PCX heated grips

Extending the season by weeks

Heated grips are the cheapest accessory with the greatest everyday benefit. Anyone riding in spring and autumn will not want to be without them.

We wire them permanently into the electrics, not with a clamp – that lasts and does not drain the battery.

Honda PCX leg shield and alarm

Weather protection and security

A leg shield keeps rain and cold air off your knees and makes the PCX usable all year.

An alarm system from the genuine range is pre-wired at the factory. Worth having if you park outdoors – we fit and register it.

Workshop and servicing

Honda Dream Dealer in Volketswil

As a Honda Dream Dealer we service the PCX with genuine parts – variator, drive belt, brakes, tyres, roadworthiness preparation and winter storage. Tell us the model, year and mileage and we prepare the parts in advance.

Custom work does not affect registration or warranty as long as the parts are approved. That is exactly what we watch when selecting them – and we document the work.

FAQ accessories, custom & workshop

Which accessories suit the Honda PCX?

The most popular are a top case and carrier, a taller screen, heated grips, a phone mount and a USB socket. We fit Honda genuine accessories and advise you on the right combination.

Yes. Custom work is carried out in our own workshop in Volketswil – from a single bolt-on part to a complete commuter set-up. Get in touch and we will look at your scooter together.

Yes, a top case with carrier is the most bought accessory for the PCX. We fit it properly and advise you on the right size.

From us. We carry the common wear parts – brake pads, filters, spark plug, battery, drive belt and variator components – and order everything else through the Honda parts service. In catalogues the PCX 125 is listed as WW125.

That depends on the scope of work. We give you an estimate in advance – contact us through our workshop page or by phone.

When Honda genuine accessories are fitted properly by us, the factory warranty remains in place. The warranty can be extended to up to six years with no mileage limit.

5Ideal uses

Where the Honda PCX plays to its strengths

Ideal uses for the Honda PCX

Commuting, city traffic and the ride to college

Commuters gain time every single day with the PCX: no queues, no hunting for a parking space, around 2.1 l/100 km. Anyone travelling daily between Volketswil, Uster, Dübendorf and Zurich recovers the purchase through running costs remarkably quickly.

Younger riders from the age of 16 start out on the PCX with a category A1 licence. The automatic transmission makes that first step relaxed – there is no clutch and no gearbox to think about.

As a second vehicle alongside a car or a large motorcycle, the PCX is the uncomplicated way into town. And if you would rather park it up for the cold months, we offer winter storage.

FAQ ideal uses

Does the PCX suit your daily routine?

Yes. The automatic transmission makes the PCX one of the easiest ways to start riding – no clutch, no gear changes. For a safe start we also recommend a taster course.

With category A1, which in Switzerland is open from the age of 16. The route to it is described on our page about the Swiss motorcycle licence.

At around 2.1 l/100 km the PCX pays for itself very quickly on a commuting route – and it saves time in city traffic on top of that.

The PCX is built as a two-seater. Whether you may carry a passenger depends on your licence and the vehicle registration – we clarify that with you at the point of purchase.

For everyday runs out of town, yes. The PCX is built as a city and commuting machine; if you regularly ride motorways or Alpine passes, a larger model suits you better – we are happy to advise.

In principle yes – with heated grips, a taller screen and suitable tyres. If you would rather put it away, we offer winter storage.

6Fuel use & experience

What the Honda PCX really costs to run

Honda PCX fuel use and range – around 2.1 litres per 100 km

The reason the PCX is chosen so often

At around 2.1 l/100 km with an 8.1-litre tank, the PCX is among the most economical powered two-wheelers on the road. If you ride 20 kilometres to work and back each day, you rarely visit a filling station – and that is where the difference to a car really shows.

Add the low fixed costs of a 125: cheap insurance, a low road tax and parking options a car simply does not have. Together with the purchase price that adds up to a calculation which pays off for many riders inside the first year.

What we will not give you are invented test figures. Every number on this page comes from our own stock. If you want to know how the PCX feels on your route, arrange a test ride with us in Volketswil.

FAQ fuel use & experience

What the PCX costs to run

With 8.1 litres of tank capacity and around 2.1 l/100 km, the theoretical range is very large. The real figure depends on riding style, load and route.

Besides fuel there is insurance, road tax and the annual service. A 125 is considerably cheaper than a car on all three counts. We work out the service costs with you in advance.

Intervals depend on mileage and age. We record them in the service book and remind you in good time – appointments through our workshop.

The factory warranty can be extended to up to six years with no mileage limit.

Well-kept Honda scooters are sought after on the used market. A complete service history and genuine accessories both tell when you come to sell – and we will take your scooter in part exchange.

Yes. We charge a contribution towards costs for this, which is credited to you when you buy. Arrange an appointment with us.

Honda PCX against the SH 125 and the Vision – which scooter fits?

The Honda PCX compared with the other Honda scooters

All models stand side by side in our showroom

We stock not only the PCX but the whole scooter range. That makes comparison easy, because you can see the machines next to one another.

ModelDisplacementIn short
Honda PCX 125125 ccThe all-rounder with the best overall package
Honda NSC 110 Vision108–109 ccThe affordable way into city riding
Honda SH 125 Mode125 ccLarge-wheel scooter, agile in traffic
Honda SH 125 Sporty125 ccThe sportier SH version

Current prices are shown on each machine in the list on this page and in its detail view.

FAQ comparison

PCX or another Honda scooter?

Both have 125 cc. The SH is a large-wheel scooter, while the PCX follows a lower, comfort-focused design. The best answer is to sit on both at our showroom.

The NSC 110 Vision is the most affordable way in and slightly smaller in capacity. If you want more equipment and more reserve, choose the PCX 125.

The PCX 160 has more capacity and therefore more reserve out of town. It does require a higher licence category than the A1-compatible 125. We will advise you personally.

A scooter wins on automatic transmission, storage space and weather protection. A 125 motorcycle gives you a gearbox and a motorcycle riding feel instead. Both fall under category A1.

That depends on the model and on the top case fitted. Bring your helmet along – we will try it on the machine itself and see what fits.

Yes, and we encourage it. Let us know beforehand and we will have the models you want ready for you.

7Riding courses

Riding technique for PCX riders

Courses and training for PCX riders

Control comes from technique, not from power

What decides a tight moment is rarely the engine. Braking on a wet surface, swerving in traffic, where you look through a bend – that is what keeps you upright. More speed and more lean never come from more courage or more risk, but from better coordination, clean timing and precise vision. Anyone riding faster than their technique allows will come off sooner or later.

The best place to train that is away from public roads. Off road the surface is uneven and loose and speeds are lower – which widens the time window for every input and lets you work near the limit with far less danger than on tarmac. A light, agile machine forgives far more mistakes. Once the technique is there, you carry it across to your own PCX.

Courses and training dates are run by the MX-Academy. Participants are split into groups and analysed individually. The school is run by Chris Möckli, a two-time European champion; it is supported by Honda Switzerland and has the Honda off-road models on site. You are welcome to bring your own machine.
