Thanks for the reply.
Having had a flick through, I think this forum is more US orientated, and I'm not sure if the Lightspeed 2 is being sold out there: due to licensing laws our "size bands" are slightly different, in that 50cc and 125cc are the "small" engines, where as yours are the 50 and 150?
From what I've read, it's a copy of the Peugeot Speedflight 100 (aesthetics wise) built around a restricted GY6 engine (which gives you guys an extra 25cc over what I can ride on my licence).
So the general gist for Chinese peds is, "look after it" then?
Ian.

Hi
Though most of the members are mainly USA based we do have some from the UK Germany China Canada etc so stay around
And yes any scoot even my Aprilia Sr 50 R Factory would not be road worthy or in good shape if i didnt give her the proper maintenance on a regular basis
Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank
