Good morning,

I am relatively new to the scooter world and I am trying to gather
information on "inexpensive& quot; new scooters.

Can anyone recommend a Chinese or Taiwanese scooter, that from their
own personal experience(s) would they say is/was a well running machine
that was built well? If so, please list the scooter manufacturer and
the model number.

In addition, if there are "infamously& quot; bad or poorly made scooters out
there please let me know of these companies as well.

Thank you very much.

Greg

Kymco is about it.

We have had pretty good luck with our Vento Triton r-4 2 stroke models.
I have one customer that is now at 18,000 miles.
It had a new piston put in at 15,000 miles.
and has had 1 belt ,gas/vac lines, and brakes replaced.
I havnt seen any Honda, Yam 49cc scooters with those kind of miles
on them around here...

Inexoensive is exactly what you will get. I would only purchase a brand that a Local dealer will support. Most reputable scooter dealers will not even work on the so called bargin brands. This is really a case where you get what you pay for. If you are looking to save money, you would be better off buying a used Name Brand, rather than a new CHINA scoot.
Stick with Kymco, Honda, TNG, Vespa, Genuine. You won\'t be sorry.

Greg, Since you asked about inexpensive scooters, I will relate what I have learned. Buy from a dealer that will be able to service your bike. Make sure he sets up his bikes before sales. Make sure the dealer can get parts. This is most important. Most inexpensive scooters will require a regular supply of replacement parts. If you have to wait weeks and months for parts, it will sit more than operate. Many parts are interchangeable from one brand to another. A good dealer will know what works. Some importers get bikes and no supply of parts. You can look online and you will see parts on backorder everywhere.

Most Chinese scooters I have seen look like they come from the same factory. Get a good repair manual. I got one at scootdawg.com. Make sure your metric tool kit is complete. They fall apart but are fairly easy to repair.
