TIRE PRESSURE
What's the correct tire pressure for the buddy 150? The manual for the 125 states 1.50KG/CM2 for the front which converts to 21PSI according to a conversion chart i found online and 1.75KG/CM2 for the rear which converts to 25PSI. I've seen 30PSI stated on this web site for front and back, just wondering if 21-25PSI was correct.

30psi front and back. If you're carrying a passenger or a large load, maybe 32-34psi on the rear.

Taiwan is actually a pretty warm country with mangos and banannas able to grow in people's back yards. It's possible the tire pressure is lower in the manual just because of the high heat in the original country it was built in. Higher heat, higher pressure.
Since the USA ranges from hot to cold depending on region, the sticker inside the storage compartment states 30psi front/back.
