If I had to guess, I'd say it's an older version of the "Big Max". Same basic body style, save for the headlight configuration.
All else looks pretty similar.
Check it out for yourself.

Link fixed. And I don't know what it is. It’s not on PGO's current list of scooters. It looks a little like a Libra but not quite.

Yeah, it looks kinda like a older model.
Has the PGO company ever sold a PGO named model here in the states?

I also looked at PGO site but could not tell what this scooter is. The seller claims to have btought it from Hawaii. Who knows. With Maryland's new scooter registration laws there are many 50cc and possibly not 50cc bikes being sold by their owners who neither have a bill of sale nor title for the bikes.

The magic word in this Craigslist ad is Hawaii. The Hawaiians seem to have an innate ability to get hold of all sorts of Asian goodies that one won't see stateside unless the owner was military stationed overseas or has a grey-market hookup. Heck, there's a Yamaha Fino here in Tucson. Yes, Fino. It's not sold stateside, but one lives down off of 4th Avenue.

Anyway, if you want weird Asian bikes, make a friend in the imports business or get some good Hawaiian scooter boy friends.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Seven mopeds ...that's still manageable...

Did a quick search and came up with this 2007 PGO Big Max 50cc

Looks similar except for the color.
