well i currently ride a 50cc taotao and looking to get a second scoot for my wife. Is this a decent scooter,dose is use the same gy6 engin?the one I'm looking at is an 08 with 300 miles on it and seller is askin 800bucks,might be able to get it for 700.
Is there any know problems to look for like my taotao with the carb .I foud that out after i bough it,tho it was an easy 50$ fix id like to know in advance this time.
What eles should i look for,breaks ,tires,if there's any leaks,i got that kinda stuff coverd,but like i said,any surprises i should know about
Thanks alot,you guys wer a life saver with my taotao,and probably saved me from having to do a ring job!!! :clap:

Hi Mark Pleased to meet you Most 50 cc 4 stroke chinese scoots like the tao tao and the Chuanl use the 139qmb engine The others use a 2 stroke 1E40QMB I would recommend giving the new one a full pdi, i always give my new scoots one whether they be new or used x1scooters.com/pdi.html Best of luck with the new scoot Take care and ride safely Yours Hank |

thanks Hank,thatsa great looking scooter . Now ive been lookin on Powerspoetsmax at new ones. Seems for a few bucks mor i can get a bran new one. Do you think there is a big differance in the scooters they advertise with japinese and twinan parts,its says there better quality parts compaired to chinese and from doind some research on here that seems to be true. Know im lookin at a MC-d12 150cc scoot with 16inch wheels and duel disk breaks and front abs. Its a really sharp lookin scoot ,sellin for 899 plus 230 shipping to your door. Some of them say pre assembled,not this one tho,how hard coould it be to assemble. Im guessin handel bars,front tire,and a few ods and ends,shouldnt be too bad. Im just wondering how they can ship a pre assembled one,must be a huge box huh??Tryed calling the company but they must be closed today. Thanks

Thanks Hi Thanks, i think April is gorgeous as well Chinese scoots are getting closer to Japanese and Taiwanese in there quality control I had a 4t Puma scoot( chinese built by ZHEN) before april and she was a wonderful scoot www.pumacycles.com/They use dedicated dealer ships, no online sales and have a great warrenty, if you can find a dealer close to you i highly recommend the brand Heres a little video of her  puma by inuyasha50, on Flickr Do a little research as Powersports max has something of a bad reputation with customers If theres any thing else you need just ask Take care and ride safely Yours Hank |
