How do I Troubleshoot a Peace 150CC Scooter With a Starting Problem?
The basic scooter engine size, 150cc, is 150 cubic cm, which means your scooter has a maximum speed of 50 to 60 miles per hour. At times, your Peace 150cc scooter may not start. This is a common problem with gas scooters and there are a wide range of causes. Troubleshooting your scooter's starting problem can save you money in maintenance repairs.

Turn the key to the "On" position, pump the throttle 4 or 5 times then place your foot on the kick start. You may feel resistance at first. Keep pushing the kick start with your foot, then kick down and forward hard to start your scooter. It may take a few kick starts to get your scooter going.
