My Chinese scooter has been a joy to own. Totally dependable and breakdown free, since new. Only normal wear items have been needed, tires, belts and such. Have never had any electrical problems, lights, ignition system, charging system (except battery) are all OEM.

Have to agree with kz1000st, most of the "Chinese scooters are junk stories", stem from operator error, or ineptness. Properly monitored, maintained, and ridden....one will last a long, long time.

PS: I probably should have stated that I'm a fair weather rider, no inclement weather rides for me....have other equipment more suited to that.
