When Darth Vader was 14, he begged his mom to get him one. But alas, his mom said "NO".

(That thing's got 'FUN' coming out of all its openings. Sign me up.)

I like it in a funky/neo/classic kina way, ebc3.

Looks like a Ruckus mated with the Batmobile....

According to PGO's website they have it available in a 50 and a 110 2 stroke.

That 110cc has a very low compression ratio. 6.5:1 will allow it to run on gasoline with lower octane ratings than I've ever seen in the US. It makes 8hp, which is about 1 less than the Buddy. Pretty impressive for a low compression ratio. I bet it will be a scary ride when the tuner types get their hands on one.

Looks like the "Black Cat" minus all the uglyness.

The headlight area makes kind of a smiley face, especially when you view it straight on. What I really can't get around is the alien head up above the headlight area. It just begs for a cardboard sign with crayon lettering that says Area 51 here we come.

I like that the original name for it in Taiwan is the PMS.

I want them to bring the PMX over here, I like the more rugged style of it.
