Hello forum,
I am a Miami-based illustrator and a new motor scooterist! I own a 2016 150cc Icebear PMZ-150, spec. 6-8 hp and an active daily driver.

Crate day: 1/07/2016
Startup day: 1/11/2016
I bought it brand new January 2016 from MegaMotorMadness.com for about $900 and it has been a blast to drive and better to own. I went from a 3 year old beater 50cc TaoTao I bought from a pawn shop garage with many problems, but after a year and many setbacks I learned plenty about how these Chinese clones operate. With a gifted friend, I took to the ignition first, upgrading the A/C fan, spark plug (Iridium +2), and Performance CDI. The bike then clocked in at about ~10 hp topping out about 70 mph on the highway. Things went well until something failed in its transmission driving 10 miles to and from work that the drivetrain binded under some kind of pressure. I parked it for about 6 months whilst I patiently upgraded the entire transmission system, intake, and exhaust. A few other mods: an oil cooler and catch system to alleviate the oil pressure flaw inherent to these particular 150cc motors from Taiwan/ China. Recently got it started up (it's mean-sounding!) and now back in the saddle. Long story short, its been a long road but I'm glad I'm getting by. I'll upload highlights by request, more as I continue this path, and welcome any feedback/comments about me or my bike.
Back on the road 2/21/2017; after a 6+ month absence!
(Note: cup holders!)
I started up a small shed garage here in Miami I'd like to service the local community and advocate safe driving for the youth. If you'd like to contribute, please visit my GoFundMe here (https://www.gofundme.com/thehangar1928) to learn more!
