Keeway America. Not Keeway USA.
So I reached out to Keeway about that funky Sixties 300i scooter. I like retro looking scooters. They told me to go to the "Keeway America" website for selling stores. I have a semi-local dealer that mainly focuses on ATV's and side by sides. They rarely stock a scooter but its a start.
The whole Keeway owns Binelli who owns ? is still confusing. My local Binelli dealer has no urge to carry a Keeway. They also sell Lifan, Italica, IceBear, SYM, Wolf, Ziggy and Genuine. |

Thanks. I'll head there now to see if anyone is located nearby.

I have to cross the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel to see if the dealer will even carry a Sixties 300i. I used to have a lady friend that lives in Gloucester but I haven't spoken to her in many many moons. That would have been motivation to cross the water when we still hung out. I could also add in City Cycle Corp to look at scooters and bikes. Oh, and Village Bicycles to look at the Globe Haul LT ebike. I'll keep everyone posted if I have any success on my Sixties search.

Oh my, I just learned the difference. I have a local Bintelli dealer near me, not Benelli. I thought I had a chance to see a Keeway in person but realized both companies are completely different yet sound alike. I guess I need to reach out to the dealer across the water and ask if they have any intention on having a Sixties 300i on the floor. I'm not buying one blind. I did find some great reviews on all the Keeway products. YouTube has some reviews from India since Keeway is pushing into the Indian market. The reviews are in clear English and they (Indian reviewers) do not hold back on their opinions!
I'm gonna reach out to the Benelli dealer and ask. If they plan on getting one I'll make the drive. |

The Keeway America website just added 2 new dealers to their dealer list in my area, and one of them is on my way to work! I might stop in or slip out of work and see if this is true. My buzz for a new and bigger scooter has been fading though, and my wife is still interested in getting a Can-Am Ryker, but I'm still going to inquire about a Sixties 300i.
My requirements are good parts support and a good rear rack option for a top box, two things I've yet to see from Keeway. I've been spoiled by Genuine Scooter Company products for parts support but absolutely HATE the rear rack on the Buddy scooters. Anyways, off to the rumored Keeway dealer in my area! |

Good luck. It would be nice to know if support is coming from them yet.
