 Hey! I'm looking to purchase a new Bintelli Sprint from my local dealer. I've gotten some good reviews from him and I'm almost settled with getting it so I'm just getting some feed back from people who actually understand how scooters work and what to look for. What are the most common problems with the Sprint? Could I later invest in bumping up the engine so it can go faster or should I just forget that? Is there any thing wrong with the drive with the Bintelli Sprint? Is it a good introduction mode of transportation? And finally: Is this a good investment piece? |

I believe that it's like most of the other scoots on here, with just a different name, so the mods that others are doing, you can also do.

 It looks like it has the 139QMB engine. You can do a big bore kit, stroker crank, cam, big valve head, CVT work, exhaust, and more if you so desire. You can improve acceleration and speed. As I understand it, they are a top tier Chinese scooter. Here's more info on that. www.collegescootersusa.com/apps/blog/show/41855837-bintelli-scooters-vs-other-chinese-scooters-are-chinese-scooters-reliable-the-answer-it-depends-I don't look at these small scoots (or nearly any vehicle) as an investment. It's not something that you'll resell later for more money. Most likely you'll take a substantial loss on it if you sell it at some point. Gas mileage is great though, and insurance is usually cheap. Sometimes Chinese scooters have quite a few issues, but if you have a good dealer, it sounds like Bintelli's warranty would eliminate a lot of that worry. Regarding it being a first mode of transportation, it could be. One thing to remember on any two-wheeler, be it 49cc or 1000cc, is that you have to pay attention at all times. It's harder to see us on two-wheels so you don't only have to worry about what you're doing, but other drivers are more dangerous to us than when driving a four-wheeled vehicle. Plus you don't have the "cage" around you in the event of a crash. Gear up. At least get a helemt and gloves. You can take it farther and get riding boots, riding pants, and a riding jacket with armor. The more you put between you and the road, the less skin you lose in the event of an accident. I would advise taking it to an empty parking lot before you start riding in traffic. Get used to how it handles and all of the controls. I put some practice exercises HERE. You can find more safety info HERE. |
