Hey Am-can Psycho. Does SYM still have the ceramic engine coating? Most models do. Not sure about the Tomos branded models. The only way to be sure is to contact Tomos USA directly or one of their authorized dealers. |

Now you want to order online and have it shipped correct ? I have read many horror stories about some that have done this as to why I bought mine locally . I have boocoos of shops in town and luckily the best one is 4 miles away from me . They change the oil and gear lube , upjet the carb , sometimes put in lighter rollers and replace the vacuum and fuel lines and fuel filter . Almost all scooters should have this done to keep it running more trouble free . They come with crappy oil and gear lube that should be changed before you ride it . I had a buddy he went through all kind of hassle when he bought a lemon but luckily they sent him replacement parts for free . I prefer they fact that if something went bad I could take it to the shop while under a warranty . Would not be worth it to have to pay shipping to them for repairs . Some come with cheap vacuum and fuel hoses that have been known to crack or collapse . Use a string to measure each one at a time then ad up the total length and go to any autopart store and some fuel hose and a fuel filter if they have a small engine section . Here is a link you would want to go to and bookmark it for PDI tips x1scooters.com/pdi.htmlAsk around about every online dealer you may be interesting in buying from and check them out here for any complaints www.bbb.org |

I ride a 2012 Tomos Twister 50 and find the scoot to be of excellent quality. Fit and finish are superior to most scoots and the 16 inch wheels provide a smooth stable ride even in the springtime when the potholes are at their worst.

That does appear to be an excellent scooter, suppose i can look into it one of my bigger issues, is the fact i only know 2 strokes, when repairing or adjusting that Tomos, i would have to spend either a lot of time on Google or put it in the shop, i suppose it's not to late to learn 4 strokes, can you tell me where Tomos manufacturers their scooters, or that exact model ? i will not over look the Tomos Scooters, as i know them to be a higher grade build that was, at least for me, Very dependable! i stole this picture from some random forum upon a google search, s.sbito.it/images/53/5390851728.jpgone of my buddys when i was oh, about 9 or 10 years old, had one of these sitting around in his storage area for few years, i traded him a Nerve brand bmx bike for it  the scooter killed over at around 26k miles, and for all i know it could have been an extremely simple fix, after all, i was so young, and i knew absolutely nothing of engines at the time, n fact there were a few occasions that the poor baby did not get any 2T oil *face palm* but i do love the peppiness of a 2 stroke There's nothing worse than cruising along at a nice 40-43mph on your scoot and than some bastard on the same CC bike goe's blasting past you lmao Stupid typo's and editorial failures, note to self - finish at minimum, 1 cup coffee before responding to post's! |
