Good Press For A Change

Looks like re-branding of low-quality generic OEM Chinese scooters.

Not for me. I'm staking my LIFE on my scooter. I need a scooter from a manufacturer with more experience and who actually isn't afraid to sell under its own brand. (rather than just letting everyone else re-brand and re-sell them.)

Diane should make enough money from that venture and then just buy a proper Yamaha/Suzuki dealership. (Honda is not serious about scooters in the US any more)

Not exactly Chinese but Genuine does rebranding with PGO, ADLY does it with Her-Che and United did it to late in their life with Hyosung. Look at where your smart or i phone is made. Its not where its made, its the quality behind it. That being said, Im still a scooter snob and use mine as my primary transport-just like Smaug. Whats really kinda funny is my Piaggio is made in Vietnam! KTM makes their Duke 390 in India. My local Wolf dealer would love to get me on one to help advertise the brand. I pound the miles on my scooter commuting and going on all sorts of rides so it would get a lot of exposure. The bonus is I park my scoots in the garage and keep them clean and waxed. But my inner scooter snob said Piaggio Liberty.

Not exactly a small manufacturer. They are rebranded Znens, the largest scooter company in China. They have sold scooters through Flyscooter, Puma and several other dealer only outlets. Wolf is the latest and longest seller of Znen.

Piaggio sold Fly 150s built by Zongshen for a couple of years and you can't pry out of them where the Liberty and Fly models, much less the Typhoons, are made. Common theory is in Vietnam.
