Average lifespan on a Chinese scoot

I can only speak for myself, I've gotten a lot of miles out of the used 2008 Johnway I got three maybe 4 years ago. I worked on it when I first got it and now it's dependable. I ride it like it was intended to be ridden. It's not a hot rod cycle it's just daily transportation when the weather allows. It's showing over 7K on the odometer now. An odd thing in Oklahoma, anything with two wheels and an engine is considered a motorcycle and they are tagged and taxed by year not original cost. So a cheap scooter is taxed the same as the most expensive Harley. The tag for my old scooter each year costs more than the combined tags for my old car and pickup.
