Im on craigslist every day lol, i really would like to avoid the dealer fees. I found some good deals on used scooters i even found a 2013 honda pcx for $2000. really has me thinking of jumping on it. but kinda want to stick to a 50cc not having to worry about insurance motorcycle license etc etc. So from what im understanding tao tao, kymco, piaggio are not bad brands?

Yes i dont mind buying a used one, if its in good condition. Theres so many brands out there now, when i bought my vento there was really nobody else selling other brands. I was looking at the sym/lance pch50 @1499.00 with a 2year warranty. Just trying to get some suggestions on some good scoots.

Ok guys im still trying to get my vento running, but if i have no luck i might just sell it and get a different one. So my question is everyone says to stay away from chinese junk, to get a yamaha or honda. What are some brands of scooters that are reliable and good all around? I know nothing last forever, my price range is between $800-$1500. 2t/4t ive been seeing alot of tao tao and kymcos. But not to sure. Thanks

found my kick start parts, i can kick it down but it wont spring back up. i checked the gears they are not chewed up or striped and i did lube them up a little, now i know why i removed the kick-starter. This scoot is being a pain in the neck!!
