Ever since 2008 a lot of good things happened with chinese scoots.
Compared to before 2008, IMHO they're more reliable, and definitely faster!

More and more chinese companies tune their scoots, to give good allover performance, and gas mileage.

The fuel lines now can accept gasoline with mild levels of ethanol (<10%).

Tires are pretty good, and more and more companies equip their scoots with performance or custom made CDI's; and belts that go longer than 4k miles.

That being said, a chinese scoot is still a work of art, and needs regular checkups and maintenance.
So it's not like you're getting a Yamaha, or Suzuki.

The ATM50's are generally trouble free.

On other bikes some issues may happen, but they're not too hard to fix.
