I need to do some trouble shooting and maintenance on a friends TaoTao CY50B retro style scoot, and am having trouble finding info on how to remove the body panels. I've scoured YouTube and can't find any videos to help me. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I need to get to the Carburetor and Fuel filter as well as possible checking the valve clearance, and replacing the spark plug.

Im not particularity familiar with that style, but have you tried first removing the seat bucket? You should be able to access it from the top

Should be just 4 bolts or so to remove the seat bucket - all easily accessible obnce you open the seat and empty the contents of the bucket. You still may want to take the body panels off ... but that's also not difficult and becomes a lot more obvious once the bucket is out. |

Be careful with the plastic clips, they brake with just a look, ask me how I know  |

Be careful with the plastic clips, they brake with just a look, ask me how I know Boy is THAT true! Every place 2 plastic pieces are joined with a screw, once you remove the screw, you will see the 2 pieces are still connected via a "tab and clip" plastic clip. It's really hard to get these to release w/o breaking the clip part. Fortunately, even with broken clips the pieces will still go together; the broken clip will not cause a problem that can be seen. but be as careful with them as you can; always best, of course, to have the clips intact. |

Thanks for all the advice. Unfortunately as most of you know, with this model, it is not as easy as removing the bucket. The back of the bucket is under body panels, and cannot be removed without removing body panels. I am just terrified of breaking panels, and not really sure where to start when removing them.
