are there two different thunder scooters??

  My local scootershop i go to but have had problems with www.gomopeds.com has a znen thunder the only thunder scooter i can find online is a taotao (less desirable brand i've read) The paper on the scooter had chinese crossed out and that it was a japenese scooter.  Does anyone know if there are two types of thunder scooters and the difference?  Adds in craigslist for news ones range for 900 not the 1300 he's asking for the znen one. Thanks for helping a poor newb.

That is different from the TaoTao Thunder. Check out the link below to the TaoTao Thunder.

I don't see the Thunder on Znen's site. What you can clearly see is that Znen is a Chinese brand. I would have a tough time trusting a dealer that crossed out Chinese and wrote in Japanese.

I do see a Redstreak Thunder and I know some Redstreak scoots have RSS on them. Maybe they're manufactured by Znen? Either way, it's Chinese. I ride Chinese scoots and have nothing against owning one, but as I said the idea of calling a Chinese scoot Japanese is dishonest.

14" wheels sounds cool.

If you go to www.gomopeds.com and click on the manufacturer link, it has an article about Znen. Znen is a Chinese company.

Thanks dan50, dude, and especially
90GTVert but due to my weight (i'm trying to loose some honest but it keeps finding me) i've decided to pay the money for tags and stuff and go 150.

That's cool too. If you have a desire to keep up with traffic it's much easier on the 150 and much more legal as long as you do the paperwork and license. The torque feels nice vs a 50. Whatcha looking at in 150s?

so sorry 90gtvert i read your post yesterday and totally skipped the question some how. I'm getting a znen one it's a small body like a 50 to help me get use to it.
