I grew up with Honda , Suzuki and some Euro two wheelers . I bought a TaoTao ATMa 50 and it is the biggest I ever owned . Day two the piston cracked . Got ir rebuilt poof it blew up 6 weeks later . Instead of getting another crappy piston kit I got a 50mm Air Sal BBK which was far more superior . I hated the ride as the rear shock is wimpy , the head light was just above a candle . The rear brake was wimpy and squeaked like crazy . I hate cabled drum and prefer hydraulic disc brakes since they are superior .
The scooters with 10x3.5 tires are not stable as mine and all others like I have ridden were sketchy at top speed . I would only get a scooter with 12 or taller tires , which are also wider and have a longer wheel base . The ride , comfort and stability are day and night diff . I bought a Jonway Magnum which is a 2T or 2 stroke with a handsome boy body , like the Peace VIPs and other models also have , and I really like having twin headlights instead of a single bulb . It also has fat 130//60/13 tires instead of 10x3.5 tires like many do . The ride reminds me of and old school minibike as it came with a street knobbies instead of normal street tires . It is so stable I can ride with no hands even in a curve with no worries . Even high wind and , cracks and uneven road patches are very stable where my TaoTao and even my Echarm it would zig zag .
I know you said a grand but for a 100 or 200 here is two models both with 13s and rear disc which is very rare for a 50 to have www.scooterdomain.com/shop-scooters/street-legal

? The 50s come in two sizes
