Well, here's hoping it doesn't happen again -- or if it does, the fix is easy. After all, we can't have "The Scooter Of War" chugging out, now, can we? I had to do some digging before I found the corresponding Shakespeare, LOL!  |

I had to do some digging before I found the corresponding Shakespeare, LOL! Shouldn't've been much digging, i had to Google it to verify the wording after all. While i knew it was Shakespeare, i of course remember it from Star Trek VI. |

Still rolling along, the problem reappeared today when i first started it up, but it did go away. Interestingly enough, we got a new wrinkle, while we had the usual give it throttle and it dies, this time i backed off before it stalled, then started cranking it again, and nothing happened. I don't mean it didn't stall, i mean the engine speed never changed, it stayed at idle regardless of the throttle position. Aside from that, on the road home, i decided to ignore the flood warning signs, i mean i can see the double yellow, how deep can it be? Yeah, ummm... wound up walking it back when it stalled in water up to the top of my boots. My new mantra 'it is a scooter, not a boat, it is a scooter, not a boat'  |

I have the 150cc Jonway version of your scooter. I love it! I need a rear rack like yours though so I can add a trunk.

I don't usually post pictures on this site since it is such a pain to have a host site to put my pictures on first. I like to just load from the computer. If you want to see more pictures you can go here. I think you might have to become a member first though to see the pictures, but hey maybe you will find something else there that you like. chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13969chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14034 |

For hosting my pics i switched from Photobucket to postimage.org which is much more minimalistic, which is just what i want. Technically you don't even need an account, but having one lets you set up folders and easily find your pictures down the road, otherwise you have to bookmark them to find them again. Yep, membership required to see them unfortunately. Looks at the Roketa, "Does yours have that tail light, or the more traditional of mine? I think the dual round is rather neat. I wonder ifn you could buy a rack from somewhere... Heck, wonder ifn Bintelli would sell you the parts, though not sure they'd bolt up." For my next one, prolly sometime next year, i'm hoping to get the 150cc version of this: www.extremescooters.biz/MC-D50TKC.aspx |

I use potobucket when I need a hosting site, but I really do not like my photos so conveniently posted someplace where everyone can look at them. Plus if the hosting site goes defunct all your pictures disappear from the all the threads you posted to. At least if you post to the forum direct it will always be there....well unless they go defunct.
Yes mine has the dual rear tail lights. Looks pretty cool. Reminds me of some cool old style goggles. I should find some old goggles that look similar and wear them while riding around. That would be too funny.
When I purchased mine I did a search to find the manufacture since the site does not list a manufacture, just a model number. The number came up as a Roketa. I have read though that Roketa was a branded name here in the States at one time, but are more of a importer now. When I received the unit it states on the tag it is a Jonway. Jonway still does not show this scooter on their website though, strange. It is the closest clone of the Zuma/BWS that I have seen. The rear rack for the Zuma is $114.00, which seems a bit steep for me, I just have not wanted to spend the money to see if it will work.

Ssr sells a zuma clone called the ssr x6 and it has a rear rack. If the bolts line up you may be able to buy one from the parts center from superiorpowersports or something. They say they can get parts for any of the bikes they sell

True that, that's kinda why i went with Post Image, no spam (calendars, photo printing, etc), no public photo share, none of that, just a place to park pics. And the simpler it is, the lower the overhead, the better the chances of it sticking around. Yes mine has the dual rear tail lights. Looks pretty cool. Reminds me of some cool old style goggles.

I wonder if the manufacturers are afraid of Yamaha, since mine is in the same boat, looking at Znen's page, i can't find it either. I agree about that price, only worth it if its returnable. |

Whether or not you can add a rack i think comes down to whether or not you have the mounting points. This is a close up of the left side mounting points, right is the same.  Does yours also have the dual shocks in the rear?  While we're on close ups, i done put some stickers on mine over the last few months:    Unfortunately that last one isn't sticking well. |

Yup, I have the same mount locations and dual shocks. What is the lock for, helmet?

I can unlock the seat in the "run" position by turning farther to the right or unlock it in the "off" position by turning the key to the left. It does not really say that on the switch though. To lock the steering I have to push the key down and then left.  |

Speaking of the key, mine's unique feature is that there's a cover for it, i'll try to add a pic later, but basically it is exactly what it sounds like, a built in cover for the key slot. I use that, two locks and the kill switch to keep the bike where i leave it. |
