in a couple months i will chime in with my personal longest. planning a 500 mile round trip (approx) from the east coast of florida to the west coast. i do plan to take a couple 30-60 minute breaks though. it's about 225 miles one way so i'll probably attempt 75 miles then 30-60 minute cool-down.

as some of you know i recently purchased a new 150cc Jonway. the headache of ordering a scooter online should come to an end today, should have paperwork and plates this evening.
first thing i noticed is working on a 150 is going to be more time consuming than my 50cc. i haven't been able to adjust the air/fuel ratio yet, i can't get a screw driver in the small space.
other than spare belt, cdi, spark plug, fuel line and basic tools, what else would you take on this trip? i have about 7 weeks to get my ride ready.

i'm selling my 2011 atm50 with 50mm BBK installed about 3,000km ago. has about 15,000km, new exhaust, front brakes replaced 2,000km ago, rear brakes replaced about 5,000km ago, needs new rear tire.
it's been very dependable but i am concerned the crankshaft may not hold up much longer.
i'm selling to a friend from work, wondering what a fair price would be for both parties.

45mph is pretty good. my atm50 does about the same with a 50mm BBK. you could try different roller weights but i doubt you will see much improvement. i've experimented with numerous weights and 45mph (52 indicated) is the best i could get out of it. think you will need to change the gears if you want more top end.

i got my scooter from superiorpowersports.com. everything went perfectly, no problems with order, no problems with shipping, no problems with support. they kept me informed right up until delivery. received MCO and BILL OF SALE the day before my scooter arrived 12 days after order. nothing was damaged, well a few scratches on the plastic but nothing serious.
then two days later i noticed the VIN didn't match the MCO/BILL OF SALE. immediately requested a new MCO and told them the problem. initially i didn't receive a response but kept calling and emailing. don't bother with online chat, i never got a response from them but a week later i finally got confirmation that they are working on it. i'm still waiting atm so i guess i will edit when/if i get the correct paperwork.
edit: forgot about this post. i finally got the right paper work. iicr it took about 2 weeks from the time they finally responded. customer support after they receive your money is definitely at the bottom of their list but they at least got it done.

very nice scooter larrball  got another email, explaining they reported the issue to the manufacture. i don't know what provoked them to start keeping me so well informed but i am liking it. beginning to feel like a VIP.  hopefully i will have plates on this scooter by the end of next week. Maybe they found out you're posting the difficulties you've been having, right here for ALL to see.  that thought crossed my mind because it seems as though they have addressed a few issues shortly after a post was made here. i do hope they read the forums, tells me they actually care about their reputation. on a side note, i went to the casino last night. first time i have been since i started saving for this scooter. made a quick $50 and headed out the door. wish i had the balls to try and win back the grand i spent on this paper weight but didn't want to take the chance of losing once i was ahead. |

well, i finally did get a response but i didn't get the response i hoped for. how hard is it to type a new MCO/BILL OF SALE put it in the mail and email me a tracking number or at least tell me it's on the way if no tracking? told me they would contact me Monday. and so i wait.  |

Let me guess....NO mco right?  she never got back to me so idk. i sent the complaint to California DMV but i doubt that will help me. i'll have to start researching small claims court if this isn't resolved soon. |
