Hello from East Texas. :)
hello. Chandler, TX. here. I used to have a Chinese scooter years ago. Truck recently broke down, 800 minimum to repair. I am looking into financing a new 250cc Chinese scooter as alternative local transportation. I'm here for research and to share experiences and knowledge. Peace to all. :)

Welcome to the forum. I hope you get the truck back on the road soon.

hi coreyman! :)
tell me, how fast can you go on your 150? can you also share your weight? I know that is something that makes a difference, and I'm carrying a few extra lbs myself. also, bad news. If you are thinking of getting a bigger scooter, I am being told that new Chinese scooters 200cc and bigger will not be available in the states again for a few months at least. something about government crap, i think they said. so I'm either going to have to get a 150 scooter or a larger motorcycle that I have to shift gears on. such a distraction. but yeah, i don't think you'll be able to upgrade to a bigger (new, Chinese) scooter any time soon. :( |
A 125-150cc normally tops out around 50 mph and will do 55 for a brief time for passing. I weigh around we 230. We ride a lot of county roads but you will need a 200-250cc scoot to safely ride FM roads, IMHO.

P.S. My only problem is that everything that I rode was right hand shift. It's a BITCH doing everything that is opposite to you! You automatically hit the shifter in an emergency stop.:tdown: |
