Can the electrical/charging system on the 2011 150LXVie handle a pair of heated grips? Or will that overwhelm the scoots ability to keep the battery charged? Mike the Aspie

Should be fine. I have them on the GTS 300, but I believe the current needed for it would be available in the 150 as well.
If you wish call up ScooterWest & they will confirm for you.

I will give them a call in a few min since their site is down for maintenance and comfirm if my 150 can handle the electrical load.

The stators on the older carb'd 150's only had about 4A of spare current capacity - so even low wattage heated grips were borderline and not recommended.

I expect the FI stators may have a greater reserve so may be fine with heated grips- you can always put the bike on a battery tender overnight to be sure the battery is happy.

A big second on the battery tender.

However it would suck to go on a long trip with those grips on, only to make a stop and not be able to get the scoot started again.

Mine is fuel injected. One of the reasons I bought it.

LXV? I bought mine because it was pretty and had real metal housed switch gear not plasticy ones.
Oh and one can mount stuff on the real handlebars.

OH I like many other things about the LXV over the standard LX. From the color to the nice leather seat. Mine has a nice windscreen, rear rack and Prima roll bag added to it. If I hang on it it, I want to add front rack, the chrome guards around the rear cowls and heated grips if her changing system can keep up with them. I got busy and didn't get a chance to call that place, will try to get that done tomorrow. Mike
