I have a 2009 Vip FChamp by jonway.
So far it's been a good scooter and i bought it new in 09 and i ride year around.
I don't know about the other brand name VIP's but if it's put together like mine was you'll do fine as long as you don't just run it into the ground.
Now at 250Lbs that's pushing it. It will get you there but not real fast, so leave early to where ever you are going.

Have fun and ride safely.
