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.

I have a 2012 vip fc, I weigh 350lbs and on flat surface go about 49mph. Now thaf. Being said I have many many upgrades on it. Im using the orange cdi and ignition coil, using 9gram dr pully sliders, 100cc bbk, a9 performance cam, performance gear set from scrappydog, high performance variator, unrestricted muffler. I also did a bunch of custom work to tail section dropping stock taillights n blinkers cutting a piece of hi density plastic and mounting it flush. Stuck on a nice led taillight blinker set and dropped 20lbs.

VIP Champion
Well, I now have the bike and it is what it is I guess you can say. It travels fine. I haven't seen my weight (240) as a problem so far. It travels just fine at 35-40mph. Uphill it goes 35. I'm not looking for a speedster bike, just a travel one. As long as it stays dependable I will have no complaints. I did while researching this bike on youtube the past month see something I agree with. The factory mirrors are useless and as the person that made the piece said. I will get some replacements from Amazon or something. All in all no complaints from 2 days.

I have had my 50 cc scooter for 4 years and 19,000 miles I change the oil every 1,000 miles when I start it up and before riding I let it warm up for a couple min to get oil circulating and last week it finaily said enough and had to do a rebuild on it if you take care of them you will get to enjoy it but if you don't if will leave you stranded by the side of the road just like a car
