I am trying to get as close to a Genuine Hooligan 170i as possible. Without the Silly prices local dealers charge. Maybe wishful thinking. I would like to avoid the extra complications of Liquid cooling.

Thanks, it is such a shame these are not consistent. Almost if it is INTENDED to confuse the buyers.  Also I think SSR Pacifica has a rear drum brake. Really want discs both ends.

Thanks, I just checked them out. I am looking for 150cc or greater, with Dual Disk Brakes and none of their bikes seem to have that. I also would like EFI (some hopes but still would like it). Most of the dealers around here specialize in the 50cc units catering to the college crowd, which is not adequate for my needs. I appreciate the feed back.

"Solano . . Lance . . Sym . . Craigslist"
Solano unfortunately is not a good place to shop. They ONLY sell at MSRP No discounts unless the manufacturer offers them. They need to get with the program or I would buy from them. I am on a tight budget.
Craigslist is a loss here nothing good, I have been checking for 3 months. |

ScootersUS (Valley Scooters) Please can you update you website to reflect the actual scooters your now sell. I called and John explained that they ONLY sell Znen made Scooters. (Motorino). The Website shows many others. I am trying to make an informed decision and find it a little difficult to do so. I looked at the Znen web site and there are so many, I am sure not all are valid. I also read here somewhere that the Cassini is no more, this means I need to go back to the drawing board with respect to my selection process.

Well, I answered my own question. I just called the local DMV here in SJ County and this process could not be easier.
1) Get MCO (Comes with Bike, Valley Scooters is good at helping with this I hear) 2) DL form 82042 from DMV webite 3) Call the local sheriffs office to make an appointment for THEM to come over and verify the VIN and endorse the form. (They even gave me the number to call) No riding an unlicensed bike to the DMV 4) Go into DMV and do the final paperwork. They (DMV) DO NOT need to see the Bike.
For anyone in FLA that needs to do this, do not be put off by your local dealer trying to scare you into getting the bike form them at a grossly inflated cost. BTW they also sell the lower cost Chinese Scooters but not at a low cost.
Regards,

I emailed them 2 days ago but have not had a reply yet. Are they normally that slow? I did call and they said they ONLY sell Motorino scoots and did not elaborate more than that. I am still waiting for a reply to my email.
I honestly expected a better response form Valley.

Hi all, I am, new here, I hope this is the correct area to post this question.
Firstly, I am considering purchasing a scooter from one of the recommended vendors here, I live in North East Florida. If I purchase a scooter on-line from out of state (GA., that probably gave away my chosen vendor) how does one get it titled correctly? Does the vendor do that for you? I read about the MCO etc. But I still lack knowledge on the process/procedure.
Secondly, I think I understand that when one buys on-line one assumes the responsibility of performing the PDI that is normally done by a dealer. Is this true? If so does the scooter come with a manual and instructions on how to do it? (I am a retired Engineer and more than capable of wielding a spanner [English for Wrench]).
The Scooter I am considering is a "Medium" Quality Motorino Cassini, that I have read more good than bad things about. Is there a recommended workshop manual one can purchase for it.
Thanks
