Hi from the Tulsa area
Hello. I figured I'd sign up on here. Recently acquired an 05 Baron 150cc convertible. Needs some work but hey can't beat free! Here's a pic. I wanna strip it down.

Anyone know where I can find braking system parts for it? Is it model specific or are most of the Chinese scooters the same?

Ive got autos and trucks for foul weather as well but there are times when you just get caught out and bad weather arrives when im out riding my motorbikes Chinese scoots are pretty generic and parts are interchangable between most of the different brands Check out our any of sponsers like "scrappy dog scooters" for parts Take care and ride safely Yours Hank

I would love to have a roof and windshield in SA. I ride to work in heavy dew/ fog and come home in gorgeous weather during the fall and early spring. But the morning commute would be great with your set-up. Haven't done a summer yet but on my sport bikes in traffic the sun is brutal. Especially going to/ coming from the base. We have to wear a lot of gear to get through the gate. Although I would wear my gear anyway, it get's hot. I didn't even know these things existed as I'm new to scooting. That thing is cool, you have me looking for one now. Is this the same GY6 setup/ basic Chinese scooter like my Tao Tao?

I don't think the battery is charging because it wouldn't start this morning.

A windshield wiper! Ah man, I gotta get me one a those! I just found what appears to be a new one for 1100 shipped to my door. Seriously thinking about it. Put a voltmeter on your battery when it's running. What kinda voltage you getting?. You could either have a charging problem, weak battery, or a short. Is your battery sitting in a plastic or metal box? I'm new to scooters, but been riding and mechanicing a long time.
