After a little research, it looks like I can purchase the Linhai Aeolus for approx $1100. How does the resale valuse compare to the Metro?

Thanks for all of the responses. I will only be renting and only open for the season. I have other sources of year around income. My order will not be processed until tomorrow. Tell me more about the Linhai Aeolus 50. How easy is it to get parts when needed? How do they compare with the Metro on durability and reliability?

Hello everyone. I live in Destin, Fl, a beach community. I'm currently considering opening a scooter rental company. This will move very fast as the busy season is approaching now. I had originally considered going the cheap Chinese scooter route, but have changed my mind after research. It seems that those scooters would be in the shop more than on the road. I have ordered 20 Honda Metropolitans. I have a good location right on the main beach road. I'm waiting on liability quotes that I should have on Monday. The Honda Metro is supposedly a very durable scooter that maintains great resale value. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone else that may be in this business or has looked into it before. These rent in the $25/hour range or $75 for the day. Our main busy season runs from Memorial Day thru Labor Day with a couple of weeks before and after each holiday. Thanks in advance for any input.
