Just DONT buy any scooter made in CHINA. This applies to any off brand scooter even those that claim to be honda copies, or better than the others etc.. They are all junk junk junk. Any offbrand gas powered machine is a waste of money and lots off heartace. Just look why do you not find used offbrand scooters for sale??? They never last that long!!

I think the reason is that steel which is a finate commodoty is getting very hard to buy. Did you know that if you needed steel beams for construction you better have your name on the steel before they are even made into beams!! Steel is almost becoming a rare metal!

BIG GREEDY America, and Japan and any company thats based here, make sure they get the best steel even if it comes out of the ground in China. The prime steel is then used by American companies to make American goods. Amazingly the goods may even be made in China, under an American or Japanese name. The goods are then shipped to America were we pay good money for them. So what happens to the low grade steel?? It goes into off brand items. Thats why the chinese scooters just seem to break when you touch them. and thats why they are cheap.

I have never heard anyone saying this to be true. But what else could be the reason?
