These things are pretty reliable if you take care of them I bought one off Amazon about 2 years ago and have put about 7,000 mi on it. No major issues. Never left me stranded. Simple belt changes,a new carb, tires, oil changes and that's it. Oh and 85 miles to the gallon ain't half bad either 😝

[@dragnridr05]

I had a 150cc, and it kept blowing out the exhaust gasket. I could never figure out why. I even took it to a local scooter dealer and had them test it. As they were testing it, it popped out the gasket and the bolts with locktite on the bolts. I ended up trading it for a kz440, which then got stolen, and I couldn't get it back because I was working on getting it running, and the title wasn't in my name yet.

[@crpth1]

@@dragnridr05 - Just as a curiosity. Most case scenarios a blowing exhaust gasket can be traced back to badly matting surfaces. A badly designed exhaust also tend to do that frequently! In this case by badly designed I meant that's probably a model for another scooter! Might look almost identical but it's enough to not seat properly! With this said most of this cheap GY6 incarnations tend to be very reliable and always cheap... ;-)

When it comes to this scooter I must leave a comment. I once owned this “pony” when I was in college. It is reliable as long as it is taken care of, or not. I parked this bike outside everyday for two years, both summer and winter. I lived in Indiana so the winter was no joke. The start button stopped working after a year. But the kick start worked until the day it was stolen. Yes it was stolen after two years. The only maintenance I did was oil change. Many many good memories with this bike, especially for parking because that bike can park anywhere, basically anywhere a bicycle can park. As a result, I can leave my dorm at 9:25 and sit in the class at 9:30.

I seriously doubt that there is an engine kill switch on that side stand. I've never seen a TaoTao that didn't have a ton of obvious and nonobvious problems (electrical, warped brake rotors) once I talked to the driver. I owned a Jonway 250CC clone bike and it had engine and electrical problems (workmanship issues). Honestly - get one of the Taiwanese manufactured variants (Kymco / Sym), and you will have a bike that you will still be riding and not repairing 6 months from now. Laughing about "if I open up the throttle it bogs down", how does something like that leave the factory? Only in China. Also, "how is it only getting 100mpg?"... well, the engine was designed in the 80's. The carburetor obviously isn't adjusted correctly, since it bogs down when you give it full throttle.

For performance things, best would probably be swaping it to some sort of 70cc group and a better exhaust. Only difference is, i had a 2 stroke, u have a 4stroke.

After a bit of work to the the cheap plastics and tuning the motor, the scooters run awesome and are super reliable. Also, you don't need to buy a new carb, if the carb is "non serviceable" then you can use a Dremel to cut flat screwdriver heads in the screws.

I weigh 120kgs and wife in the back , she's 70kgs. That's actually more than you could put on Electra glide on Honda goldwing. New scooter cost me just a little over $400 together with all the accessories and box, helmet gear and gloves. A tool box and air pump. The suspension was amazing. Small wheels easily let you turn tight spaces. Best of all. Half a dollar gas could get you 30km. Scooters are awesome. They're practical super economical, have tons of storage space and great for daily use. In Asia almost everyone owns it. Either electric or gas. I just don't understand why people in America need +1000 cc and even 2000cc bikes that don't have space even to store your helmet. That big motor is just carrying around all the extra metal weight that doesn't even need to be on the bike because it serves no additional function. Almost all bikes in America have zero practicality and pure leisure .

The freedom and practicality it offers, and the way it resolves traffic problem, could change our way if life. South East Asian countries have really figured this out perfectly, by accident (low gdp) or by astute conscious collective cultural choice. the fact that we, in the west have not massively adopted scooter, even in the country side (in urban areas, in South of France for example, they are quite popular to be honest) is a shame

100 dollar 26 inch mountain bike from walmart plus a 600 dollar 1000w hub motor with 48v of batteries gives me 35 to 38 mph speeds with a range of about 20 miles. I built this in 2010 and it's still going strong. Now I want a Dirt Cheap 200cc scooter because I need the speed for interstate driving and want way more range than the electric bike can give. Redfox Powersports has some for $1049 but I can't afford that plus the 250 dollar shipping. Looking for used willing to pay 600 bucks.

[@umamifan]

I've always considered buying an e-bike conversion kit with the batteries and assembling it on my bike (it's a hyper-brand walmart bike). I got it cheap $50 off of facebook marketplace, the dude just wanted it out of his basement and it rides well. Could I potentially just buy the e-bike kit + batteries for it and save more overall? In my state e-bikes are considered just bikes so I can ride one without a license to and from work (summer job) and potentially school

[@DivergentDroid]

@@umamifan Sure you can, that's what I did. The ebike kit comes with everything you need. Depending on place you buy it from, batteries can be offered. I got mine from AmpedBikes but not sure they are around anymore. 4 SLA 12v 20ah batteries for 48 volts will cost you about 130 dollars and may last you 2 years. If they offer Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, they will run you about 700 (or more) at least for a 48v 20 ah battery but they are much lighter than SLA's. I would up buying a 150cc scooter from RedfoxPowerSports and love it so far. It has much more range and power than my ebike and a few dollars to fill the tank is way better than waiting 5 to 8 hours to charge a battery. Depending on how much you are willing to spend, you could build a pretty powerful DIY ebike cheap but you'll still have long charging times.

I see a lot of young people mocking these slow scooters. I was young once; I understand. Y 'all want something cool and powerful, but some of us are little old ladies who've never driven a scooter, can't afford a car, and just want something to get us to the store 2 or 3 times a month. Someday you young'ens will discover how demeaning it is to have to depend on someone else and go, not when you're ready, but when they are. My biggest concern is seat height, not speed. I'll add this scooter to my list of considerations. Thank you, young man!

The kickstart dosent work on any scooter when you have the small stand down

[@logandriggers1709]

me and my friend bought some of these scoots, he bought one new and I bought one for 50 bucks after some guy dug it out of his buddies yard after it had been sitting outside for around 5 - 10 years. When I got it home the odometer read around 7k miles and I was able to get it running again with just a carb clean, a new battery, and some fresh gas. These little things are slow as hell but they are pretty versitile and can be pretty good commuter bikes with a few choice upgrades

i have a taotao powermax vip 150cc . put 25,000 miles before the first oil change. these have 2 major problems that are an easy fix. first the panel connections break when sitting on it, the solution is to take a strip of 1/2' x 1' wide OSB and zip tie it to the crossbar beneath the seat bucket to keep the seat from pressing down on the side panels and breaking the mounts. the 2nd is the exhaust mounts are thin metal and need strengthened with welding thicker metal and a few washers to shim the exhaust pipe so it is not forced towards the swingarm , all three exhaust mounting brackets need to be reinforced , the two stud bolts are okay but a drop of loc-tite on all connections is a good idea. . i got over 30,000 miles and paid $700 NIB i picked it up at a warehouse. it will top at 55mph average , 65 mpg average . used it as an on road and to blaze trails off road so busted a fork seal and broke the plastics and tore the seat bucket and replaced the exhaust and stripped a stud bolt so have a newer one but might buy a third NIB if they still have them . the one in the video the pony is called ATM-50 and was $500 but i need a 150 , the 50cc's i seen go 39 mph , 139qmb, motor, mine is 157qmj

I had the same scooter in red and black, rebranded and with a 2 stroke engine, man it clocked 80km/h, maxing out the speedo past the scale. It had some bog downs but it was reliable, the oil mixer worked (even though it was oil rich) and it ran over 15k km before I sold it. I even ran it without any oil (whoopsie) for around 50-100km and other than losing power when riding for a while it was fine. (you can't check the oil level other than by eye and it looked like it had some... then put a stick inside and it was almost dry.) The electronic choke and kickstart worked perfectly. The only thing to watch out is that the fuel tank lock can get stuck. If you get the two stroke version it's a really cool and nice scooter.
