Once a scoot, always a scoot

Hello All -

Just wanted to introduce myself. You will know me by my user name: Minipopkart.
I am going to chronicle my experience on buying a Chinese scooter.

I am returning to a scooter after a 30 year hiatus. My first scooter was a black and red Honda Aero 50, which I loved. My brother "borrowed" it for college.... and well, it never made it home.

Now that I'm certain that the scooter isn't making it home, it's time to try to something new. A lot has changed in the industry from what I've seen. I've noticed a lot of online Chinese scooter vendors selling re-branded scooters. After researching various vendors, I went with Proven Powersports because they had a nice CARB approved 150cc scooter, the SSR Interceptor made by Znen. Out the door, delivered to my California address came out to $1269.95. The best price I've seen online. My second choice might have been Killer Motor Sports.

I placed my order on Friday, August 28, 2015. Today is Wednesday, September 2, 2015 and the order is still in a processing state. I called today and they said that they should be sending out for shipping later today.

More updates to be posted, as they materialize.
