If you decide to buy one, let me know because I can get it for you for about half price. It's Chinese so expect problems.

Same old 139qmb. No room under the seat. I do think the forks are inverted?

As dude said, it's the 139QMB Chinese 49cc four-stroke. That means you can forget it being fast. They can do alright with some mods. My TaoTao ATM-50 cruises at 30-35MPH with the 49cc.

I can get it for 475. The problem though is that you don't live here (Senna does) so it would have to be shipped to you. And shipping is expensive. About 7 years ago I had a mid-bike shipped to me from NJ and I think it was around 350 dollars. Another thing is that at that price I wouldn't give you a warranty. So I don't think it would be worth it if you didn't live here in Nevada. But I'll do it if you can accept those things.

I have the exact one you posted... i dont know how to post a pic of it. It hit 42 on flat ground with no wind in my face. Not the most room for someone with size 12 feet, the best part is they put a wire cage under the seat, so you technically have a non water proof, but enclosed space under the seat, unlike the zoomer x when mimics the honda ruckus by just having space under the seat with nothing to keep stuff you put under there from falling out. Smooth ride, shocks work wonders, seat is more comphy if you scoot back off the front of it, its thicker in the middle back section, a nice head sheild on the side of the muffler that has saved me from burns many times when i get off and on while the mufflers still hot, the sheild was made in mind for the passenger though, and my wife liked that it was there, no back spray from rear tire in the rain due to nice fenders. The only issue that i have with the bike, is that the batters ia exposed if it rains while you ride, the cover has no o ring or water proofing tech thought into the design, i had to custom make one to keep water from pooling around the battery, 5 dollar fix, so not a huge problem, just get it done and super glue it. I put a 85cc BB kit on it becauee its pickup was wussy as fuck, but the top end was normal for a 50cc. Was a great investment, did not really kill the gas, went down like 12mpg from 90 mpg and the top speed went to 50 mph with no wind in my face on flat ground and going up bridges was so much more bareable, the light on the front was the selling point though, very bright and reminds me of my grom just boxy. The other huge selling point, I MEAN HUGE , is that the wheels are wider than anoth other 50cc scooters, almost a wide as the grom front tire, so they grip the road a bit better. All in all, no one buys ot cause if you dont get it online in a box, its 1200 at most scooter stores. And most people would rather dish out half that for the 650 - 700 dollar taotaos. So if you do get it, be prepared to have people ask you where you got it. Some questions i got were like "is that a street legal 50cc dirtbike? Looks badass" or "barely see those around man, i like the look, where can i get it?" But yeah, i have 4000km on it now and it only gave me a small loose wiring issue with the headlight that i fixed myself. Beaides that, it runs like a dream, i enjoy my rides to and from work and the beach. And in broward and miami dade county in florida, where everyone rides a scooter, its nice to be riding on something a little different. So if you like taotaos. Buy this one, and just upkeep your scooter and it wont take a crap on you
