Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with the tao tao paladin 150cc. A local shop is selling it as its only 150cc at the moment because the powermax and evo150 are basically constantly sold out. I can't find *any* type of review or worthwhile mention of the paladin though. I found a single post somewhere about a guy who crashed on one, but thats not helpful. Hopefully someone here has at least seen one before  I'd be grateful for any input, thanks. |

Enjoy!!! I don't think the actual brand means too much. Gotta mention MY rear tire (Xingyue Eagle 150). Get this now... The WHEEL has the axle about 1/8" out-of-center! It "pogos" up and down about 1/8". EEWWW! So, the factory somehow found a TIRE that was about 1/8" high on one side. They mounted it with the HIGH-side of the tire on the LOW side of the wheel... So, while the wheel pogos up and down, the tire TREAD turns in a near-perfect circle. Dang clever, these Chinese... It rides fine, no shimmy or out-of-balance at all... Only problem is that when the tire wears out, I'll have to replace the wheel too. I wonder if VESPA ever exhibits such "creativity"...? Nah... Gotta love these little wheezers...Leo in Texas |

Vespa would have tossed that wheel in the trash.

i had a brand new 2012 power max. It ran great. only had one problem with it. I am 5' 10' and the scooter would nose over on low speed turns and ect. I had 4 minor accidents due to this, the handle bars needed raised a bit or seat lowered some. I have a 250 cc now and love it even more
