I have had a honda and a kymco.right now I have a bentelli sprint the more I get to ride it and work on it the more I find I like it.they are buld strong and I got 30.000 miles on it and only had it for 2 years.still running strong. My choice was eather the sprint or the rough house by syms.but I did not want a 2 stroke. 30,000 miles. That's impossible! Everyone KNOWS you can't get more than 10,000 miles on a Chinese scoot before they self-destruct!  |

Drilled out a stubborn snapped off bolt on the exhaust that had been stuck in there for 4 years. (it came out in about 3 minutes) then I tapped it for a 6mm bolt. Chinese "Salt Water Taffy" metal coming out, and British stainless steel going in.  |

Just for future reference, put a tracker unit on any scoots you have. You'll know where it is and the cops will have all the proof they need.  |

Necessity being the mother of invention, it wouldn't take long for you to learn the mechanical aspects of maintaining your scoot. On a budget there are two ways to go. You can either purchase a used "brand name" machine hoping it lives up to it's reputation for reliability (you do not know how well it was taken care of by the previous owner) or buy a Chinese scoot new and redo the "weak spots" it may have. But unless you wish to take it to a dealer (read $$$) for repairs, learning to "wrench" is a real good idea. That said, most of the problems with the Chinese scoots has come from people who did not know how to keep them running or from people who are prejudicial, never owned a Chinese scoot, and are engaged in FUD like disinformation.  Here's a video from a Chinese scoot owner who did a proper PDI and maintenance. |

Jake & Elwood. What's more macho than being on a mission from "Gad" in a police cruiser?  |

Ah, the joys of "CARB" aka The California Air Resources Board. (who can't even give you a straight answer to a question when you call them) |
