Ok I did find that HF has the chock for 39.99 and also I searched for those instant 20% off coupons and found a code that worked, unfortunately its online so I have to pay 7 bucks in shipping errr.
I believe this chock is going to be really handy for me.
there was no way I could ride it that early in the morning, my back is just to bad for that.
Haha my back has to be woke up stretched out etc etc etc lol
Thankyou all for your help.
God Bless

When it happened to me I usually just adjusted the idle screw and that worked for me.

Hmmm, the $40 one at HF looks good. Im just wondering if my wheel bolts and stuff will clear it. Heres my scoot:   Im not worried about the front fender as that can be removed, but the forks and bolts is what worry's me. that would be great if I could find one of those 20% coupons I guess I will have to do some measuring before I head to harbor freight. peace |

My scooter has 13" rims not sure what the width is. My scoot is a 2012 taotao atm150-a here is one that I'm looking at: compare.ebay.com/like/400310671267?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbarbasically all the others that ive seen are similar in design, just not sure which one would work the best. Im not traveling far, its just to take it so I can do my cycle road test with and then maybe other short trips I really need to just find a way to take it there but I don't have racks or anything, just a 8ft trailer that I can haul it with. road test place is 30 miles one way and they only do the test at 9am, but I dont want to go that far early in the morning. I would if it was in mid afternoon but my back is stiff as a board in the morning. I have to figure out something cause driving it there is out of the question, I appreciate all of you guys/gals help . peace |

Heys guys\gals, trying to find a wheel chock to put on my trailer so i can haul my scoot that will keep it stationary.
theres a ton of them on the web but im not sure how good they actually work with a scoot.
Does anyone have one that they use that can confirm that they do work, and keeps scoot stationary.
Would like to find one under 40 with shipping or even cheaper if possible that will work.
Peace

I carry a small set of cheap Stanley tools pliers , some extra nuts, bolts, duck tape, black electric tape, a few shop rags.
Basically the stuff for basic fixes that can be done on the road, I don't think there's any need to carry stuff to rebuild engine lol.
Tools that will help ya get back home, and if you can carry a spare cdi and other stuff that would go out and leave ya stranded.
Might as well hook up a Reese hitch to the back of scooter and pull a tool trailer behind ya, that way you can just keep a spare scooter in it. Just my thoughts. Lol
Peace

I have a taotao atm150-a, I love it got it in September 2012 from GS motorworks.
I did how ever pay 1200.00 but thats with shipping, everywhere else I did research on had really bad reviews so I stuck with them.
Pleasant experience I must say and not one problem, I will post pics of my ride sooner or later.
I posted pics on scootdawg, I just have to get around to doing it here. I can do around 55 with my fat butt, 60 going down a slight hill.
I have around 1000 miles on it, didn't really do any winter riding, still being broke in. I plan on putting a ton of miles on when it warms up.
