Are you Justin Jackrel? Founder of Bintelli Scooters? If so I would love to bend your ear on a few things.

UPDATE. I got my new 150 cc Motorino Supremo in a couple day ago and I told everyone I would update on its quality. I love it! It rides and handles better than any other scooter I have rode. You can really tell the quality of the products and the build Znen uses compared to other Chinese Brands. I am VERY happy with my decision and relieved that I made the right one! It hasn't gotten very warm yet so I havent had a chance to take it on any long distances (just around the block a few times) so I will update once I am able to do that! A big shout out to Jason at "Grand Rapids Scooter" in Grands Rapids Michigan. Thanks for the sweet scoot and awesome deal bro!

That is another option.So you dont think occasional charge when riding will keep it charged enough? You might be right. I just looked though and the hard wire charge I purchased for installation says that it only charges when the ignition switch is on. So it "claims" it wont drain your battery. What do you think of a solar power charger of sorts? I know they make them for the micro USB port which this tracker has. I wonder if they have one out there that is small enough and inconspicuous enough that it wont look stupid and will charge it at all times?

Okay so after my last scooter got stolen right out of my car port in the middle of the night I have vowed never to let this happen again. I will at least do everything in my power to prevent it. In the event the some how get past my disc lock w/alarm, and chain lock I plan on installing a GPS tracker hidden on the bike. Now there are only a few options as to how I do this I have discovered. Option 1 would be to buy an expensive $100-$200 GPS tracking device. Option 2 is to make a DIY GPS system. I purchased a "Tk-102" off Ebay for $30 from a US seller (otherwise they are about $10 less from China). The way this tracker works is you install an active GSM Sim card (prepay or not) into the device. Then in the event of you wanting to locate it you simply call the number the SIM was given, the device picks up and then hangs up and automatically sends you a Text message with its GPS coordinates and speed of travel. It also has some other neat features like a microphone that will allow you to listen in remotely to whatever is going on around it. Now obviously the GPS needs to be charged every now and then. It has a 96 hour Standby time on the battery. My plan is this. I purchased the "Hard Wire car charger kit" in which you can hard wire it to the battery of the bike of vehicle you are installing it on. Now the problem with that is it would be a constant drain on your battery and you would end up with a dead battery. What If I were to hard wire it to the Head light circuit on the bike so it will only charge the device when the bike is running? Does anyone have any experience with this particular device or any others that they can share some tips or knowledge? Below is a link to the ebay page with the device I purchased. I will keep you updated with how it turns out. www.ebay.com/itm/111320790610?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 |

Nobody on here has any thoughts or opinions other than the one guy who commented? That is hard to believe especially since the owner of the company who is the sole distributor of this particular brand is a member on here. Valley Scooters is the company and I have heard nothing but good things about his business and the way they conduct themselves with warranty etc.. Any way, take a look above at the bike. Id love to hear more opinions on it, good or bad lets hear it.  |

Absolutely I will. The nice thing is I am purchasing it from a local dealer here in Michigan. What really turned me on the Znen is the fact they provide a One Year 3,000 miles bumper to bumper parts and labor warranty on the bike. That is huge. This dealer also carry's a brands called "Bintelli" which is basically just a re brand of Znen with their own little design twist. Here is a pic of the scooter I ordered. I am stoked. I think it is VERY sharp looking. What do you think? I love the fact that the 150cc version is the same exact bike as the 50cc just a larger motor. No increase in the size of the frame at all. The front is "Black Pearl" which changes colors in the sun from black to purple to dark green depending on how it is shining on it. It has Disc Brakes, Chrome Engine cover, Stainless steal floor board plates. Also here is a video of the scooter. Please tell me what you think! |

Okay. So after getting my 50 cc Shanghai Shenke stolen right out from underneath my Carport last summer (along with my 8 year olds bike) I am finally getting my new scooter. My son got a replacement bike that night, I had to wait until it was my birthday and the wife "gave me permission" as my birthday present. :-). So I was so excited to get one I just ran out and purchased the first deal I could find. BIG mistake. I ended up buying a Tao Tao Cy50-T3 and hated it almost immediately after I got home. Cant say anything bad about the bike, just wasnt for me. So I sold it on Craigslist and got $50 more than what I paid for it new 3 days prior. :-). I have now taken my time, explored different brands and I have landed on the Motorino Supremo by Znen. 150cc. I was going to buy a 50 with a BBK but why? Might as well pay $100 more and get the 150 right? Anyway it is 7-10 days out before it gets here from the local dealer (he didn't have my desired color in stock). I need re assurance that this is an awesome bike. It is not a popular model. I can't seem to find any REAL reviews on the bike online. Does anyone have any experience with Motorino, Znen or the Supremo?  |
