Well not today but last week i had to rewire part of my 5 year old jonway due to the fact that the red wire running to the Ing and voltage reg/rec fried and smoke was coming from the battery compartment. (I'm real fast with a screwdriver when i have to be) All my fault, for bypassing the 15 amp fuse. But all is good with it now. Well that's all it took for me to plop down the cash for a new scooter and got a heck of a deal on a 2016 Roughhouse 50 Sport titanium package.  Thats the scooter i just bought and it's Fast,Fast,Fast for a stock 50 and pulls hills nicely too. The ride is nice and smooth and build quality is top shelf. I got mine with 54 miles on it and the dealer told me the lady that bought it wanted a red one so he wavered all set-up and delivery fees. Got it for 1,960.00 and that's everything out the door. A real 2 year warranty (parts and labor) and 2 year road side and tears of joy so i just could not pass this up.. no sir-E bob. And yes to all in dought-- it will hit 50MPH right out of the box after it is De-restricted. So to sum it all up...This scoot is just plain Sick and pic's on the Internet simply don't do this scooter justice. www.genuinescooters.com/roughhousesport.html |

Larrball,
That's a GREAT looking ride! And my hat's off to any 50 that will do one mph per cc!
Have a bone on the Old Chopper Guy!
Ride safe and enjoy the new ride!

True, now i rewired it and it works great and still a good running scoot, but 5 years old and time for a new owner that i can sell too. After all i have all the bug's worked out of it right  . I saved up for a Yamaha Zuma from the get go a little at a time for the last year. www.yamahamotorsports.com/zuma/models/2016/zuma-50f T-body-EFI, water cooled and the OHV Tri-vavle engine set up at $2,600+ /Dealer set up/Delivery 1 year parts and labor warranty and tax.(you can do the math) Not for every ones saving budget and in no way a scooter you want to work on if your not set up too. ( fuel pump, EFI's computer) you get the point.(not that you will anytime soon--- but you will some day-- get out you Fluke meter and you wallet) That's why i went with the RHS-Ti 50/PGO (genuine scooters) Now doin't get me wrong Yamaha is top of the line when it comes to advancement in scooters, but does the price of over $3000.00 warren the price on a 50cc scooter? good question. I'm a Bad guy (but no tattoos bad like J.R. has  but with a savings account with a hole my pocket. |

Now i really don't want to go into the Honda scooter-ruckus. (but it looks like im going to do it anyway) There has been only ONE upgrade to the 2016-- water cooled and priced at $2,600 MRPrice (same as the Zuma) That's it! 2016 ruckus0 powersports.honda.com/2016/ruckus/specifications.aspxCan you at Least put 'A' girl friend on the back  -errr.. i meant a storage box and a Frisbee i can use for a disk break! (Drum roll..-Pun intended) Next. Seen this guy on a bintelli, i think it was this one(link below) and he was moving. bintelliscooters.com/product.aspx?ProductId=181&title=49cc+Bintelli+Prime (White one) I think this is one of the best scooters for a budget buy,with a real warranty you can really use if needed (it has got to be from Znen) ive seen. Cought up with him on my Jonway 50 (and i run a good 40MPH) at the break time.(fill up/convenience store) Cant say what the CVT has it it, but he was moving and i had a had time keeping up. For a QMB 50.. Not bad and he said he paid right at $1,100? The fit and finish looked on par to the price he said he payed. Justin J. if you're reading my mess of a post.... put a dealership in Columbia MO. Larry O.K. so now that im out of gas, and it's late, i'll stop this rant/informative post's. And be a wise guy and leave you hanging, but if it make you feel better that's all that counts. Ride safe- it's a full time job. |

What a great deal. Wanted a Rough house bad but here they run $2400. Bought a Wolf V 150 for $1750 from a local dealer who really provides great service and warranty  |

is the rough house still 2 stroke? Genuine makes very reliable scoots. My Buddy hasn't missed a beat.

I didn't realize your new scoot is made by Genuine. My dealer Moxie Scooters (where I bought my used Kymco) is a dealer for Kymco, SYM and Genuine. I've looked over all the Buddy models and just LOVE the cosmetics, features and quality. Genuine products seem to be top-notch for sure!
If I could get by with a smaller scoot, and could afford it, I'd certainly consider a Buddy. Their Stella scoots are also very tempting... Especially if you can find one of their out-of-production 2-strokes!
I'm betting you will be VERY pleased with your new bike! Please do keep us posted over the riding season...
Ride safe!

The Buddys and Roughhouse 50cc scooters are still 2 stroke.
Yamaha went to a 4 stroke.

Thanks Leo,
The bike i have would fit a rider that is 6' tall with no problem with the 12" wheels.
I had to lower the rear suspension to fit me (5' 6") and it's just right.

It's been quite a while since I've been on, but we've added a new steed to the lineup. We got a fantastic deal on a Genuine Buddy 170i about a month ago. It was a dealer that was getting out of scooter sales altogether to make room for more camping equipment, and they were selling them at cost. It wasn't a new model, but it was a new bike with full warranty. When all was said and done we paid $2200 and they threw in a matching trunk and a windshield just to get it out the door. So far I have to say I am super impressed. I like the fuel injection, and I'm amazed at the pickup. We wanted something that would give my wife a little more oomph on the 55mph areas. I was worried that she couldn't keep up with my P200E, but now I'll be hard pressed to keep up with her. On top of that, our first real fill-up gave us 93mpg. Ho-lee-cow.  It's the Italia version, too, with the two tone paint. We were trying to decide what to do with the ZNEN 150, but I've started riding it again, and I have to say I'm falling in love with that bike all over again. It's so easy to ride. It has 3500 miles on it and hasn't given me a lot of issues, so That may become my "project" bike. We'll see. |
