CFMOTO recently unveiled its latest scooter, the 150SC, at a starting price of 13,580 yuan (with the trunk version adding 800 yuan), marking its return to the competitive scooter market. Launched during this year’s Spring Breeze Day, the 150SC enters a crowded “red ocean” of scooters. But what makes this model stand out? In this static review, we explore its design, features, and build quality. Stay tuned for the upcoming dynamic evaluation to see how it performs on the road!
Sleek and Sporty Design
The CFMOTO 150SC embraces a classic, streamlined look with a sporty edge. Its V-shaped LED headlights, paired with daytime running lights, echo the bold design of the CFMOTO 800NK. Turn signals are neatly integrated into the side fairings, while the π-shaped LED taillights enhance rear visibility. Available in a striking matte electro-silver finish, the scooter boasts even paint texture and tight panel joints, reflecting CFMOTO’s high-end craftsmanship. For a scooter priced under 14,000 yuan, the attention to detail is impressive.
Advanced Lighting Technology
The 150SC’s headlights feature OSRAM LED beads and “ice cube” light guide technology, delivering a crystal-clear, premium look. The low beam outputs 10,000cd (surpassing the 8,700cd of the UHR), while the high beam peaks at 60,000cd (compared to the UHR’s 45,000cd). This ensures excellent visibility for night rides, making it a standout in the 150cc scooter segment.
Top-Tier Instrumentation
Equipped with a 5-inch TFT full-color curved display—borrowed from the 450SR—the 150SC offers a clear, sunlight-readable interface. It supports CFMOTO app connectivity for navigation, vehicle unlocking, and dual Bluetooth helmet pairing. For a 150cc scooter, this level of tech feels almost excessive, positioning it as a leader in its class.
Practical Features for Everyday Use
The handlebars feature a sleek, covered design, adding a premium touch compared to exposed setups. Function buttons, derived from the 450 series, offer satisfying feedback. The keyless system includes dedicated buttons for the seat and fuel tank, with app-based unlocking for added convenience. An 8.5L fuel tank provides a 300km range—perfect for daily commuting. A front storage box accommodates a smartphone (like a 14 Pro) and a drink, with Type-C and Type-A ports supporting 18W fast charging.
Engine: Proven Power with a Twist
Rather than developing a new engine, CFMOTO opted for Loncin’s reliable single-cylinder, water-cooled, two-valve 150cc engine. While some question the choice over a four-valve setup, the two-valve design offers simplicity, durability, and strong low-to-mid-range acceleration—ideal for urban riding. CFMOTO has fine-tuned this mature engine, optimizing the throttle, ECU, ignition angle, and air-fuel ratio. The result? Smooth starts at 0-50km/h and responsive power at 50-80km/h. With 10.5kW at 8,500rpm and 14Nm at 6,500rpm, paired with a Bosch EFI system, it balances efficiency and performance.
Ample Storage Space
The 150SC shines with a 30L under-seat storage compartment, accommodating a 3/4 helmet plus gear like gloves and raincoats. While larger helmets (e.g., Morris L) may not fit perfectly, standard XL helmets (e.g., AVA) close snugly, making it highly practical for riders.
The scooter’s double-keel cradle frame ensures exceptional stiffness, minimizing shakes over bumps. With a 1315mm wheelbase and a 35° roll angle, it’s nimble yet stable. The telescopic front fork and dual hydraulic rear shocks are tuned for comfort and sportiness. Braking is handled by 230mm discs with dual-piston calipers, supported by dual-channel ABS and TCS for safety. CST semi-slick tires (110/70-14 front, 130/60-13 rear) provide solid grip for everyday riding.
The 150SC stands out with premium features, refined build quality, and a well-tuned Loncin engine. It’s backed by a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty and incorporates international components, paired with CFMOTO’s strong brand reputation. This makes it a compelling option for urban riders seeking reliability and versatility.
