12000 on the Tao Tao T3 and 13000 on the Vento R4. I think stock scoots will get more mileage than a modded out scoot due to less stress.

I have just over 16k on my CFMoto Echarm only mods are NGK iridium and Dr Pulley sliders . Was gentle at first then did a midrange break in . Does not leak or use oil and change it and gear oil every 1,000 miles . I always let mine warm up prior to riding , more so in the winter . Had a single valve adjustment at 2,200 miles . I can trot at 50 MPH , cruise at 60 and it used to hit 75 but not hits 70 MPH . Used Shell Rotella but not use Castrol Synblend 10w40 . Put in a cap full of Sea Foam every other fill up

Right around 7k km on my older ATM50. 83cc bbk the last 900 km. Original motor still ran decently when installed. Now swapped a long case on it and hope to get at least 5k km before any major work. i ride that scoot WOT  % of the time. Only problems have been turn signals shot, belt broke, exhaust came loose, and ignition switch broke. All cheap and easy fixes except the turn signals seem to be a wiring issue but i don't really need them. My Chinese scooters have impressed me although i still feel a little better on my Derbi. |

i have almost 2k on my highly modded tapout scoot runs like a champ no issues, i have worked on a few this week that needed rebuilt due to no compression both under a 100 miles, ran them out of oil, depends how you take care of them

Yes, but don't Vespas get at least between 300,000-400,000 before a major oil change?

14,600 on my velocity that is miles not kilometers it needs a new crankshaft thought but it has a big bore kit that I put on many many miles ago, it was also bought in a state of crap on Craigslist. My taotao cy50-a has 1142 kilometers but climbing fast

Fawkes has 6772.9 Miles, and one upgrade, one complete rebuild, and a new engine on the way, so i can rebuild the original engine again... These are hard driven miles, and well beyond even the rebuild and upgrade limits of the engine ...
I have ridden Fawkes every where from Ohio, Fort Wayne, Fulton, Camden, Logansport, Lafayette, Monticello, to Delphi, all year and all weather driving.

I got 10,600 on my YY250T before it quit. Apparently they left some loose metal inside the engine and it got the rod bearing, oil pump and shut down the ignition.
Doug says there is zero wear on the cylinder.
