First, learn how to write with some correct sentences, because its hard to understand what are you trying to say, second, the all difference between a cheap oil and a good one is a couple of $, but some people (i assume you are one of those) are too cheap to spend $2 extra for some quality product that makes the engine run better and longer (that comes from advices from mechanics, not from you or me), third, you show me a scooter that run fine with cheap oil, and i show you 100,000 that died very young because of that (I guess you are like that guy that is sure that smoking doesn't cause cancer, because his father smoked his entire life and didn't get it...). forth, the horse can be a $10 one or a $100000, it doesn't matter, because its the the one that seat in the saddle, and you can be sure i am not that cheap to have mine seat in an uncomfortable $10 saddle, regardless of the horse.

 Hi Guys, I have a Taotao ATM50-A1, WITH 10" Wheels, I need the new tire installed on the rim,but don't know where to go to have it installed. Would a regular car tire shop do it for me? Is it hard to do by yourself? I have the wheel off the scooter already. Please help. |

Hi Friend, You are absolutely right, using cheap gas and oil, on a 50cc scooter, for what it uses, its simply non sense. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that use crap oil and cheap gas, to save a buck, and than they complain that "the scooter is cheap Chinese crap", when the only cheap thing is themselves. |

Hi, Just use the best possible synthetic oil, I have a TaoTao atm50, it only takes less then 1/4 of gallon of oil, $10 at most, its worth, to preserve the engine. Mine has 3500 miles (5200km) and still runs very strong, I have a top speed of 45mph on a flat road. Change the engine oil once a month, and the gear oil after every summer, take care of every other little things, like changing.fuel filter, fuel lines, and the scooter will last forever. Chinese scooter are inexpensive (however, between shipping and assembling it cost close to $1000..), but are not cheap, at least not much cheaper then any other scooter in that range of price. The engine are the same that the Honda use, the GY6, same parts and everything, the parts are Japanese, made in Taiwan, they are just assembled in China, its exactly the same thing. Also, use best possible gas (its only $3.00 to fill up!),  octane, Mobil or Sunoco. Good luck |
