FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do scooters require a motorcycle endorsement?

In Arizona, a motorcycle endorsement is required to ride a scooter on public streets.  This INCLUDES 49cc scooters.  The exception is for PEDAL DRIVEN bikes or scooters with a helper motor of 50cc or less. Insurance and registration are also required for vehicles ridden on public roadways.

​

Is financing available?

Yes, we have multiple options for financing.  No credit and bad credit, as well as discount programs on select Taiwanese scooters for persons with good credit.

​

Can you order vehicles if they aren't in stock in the store?

You can order vehicles we don't have currently in stock with a 50% deposit.  We will then place the order with the vendor and receive it in about a week.

​

Are Chinese scooters reliable?

The short answer is “somewhat”.  They are inexpensive to purchase and inexpensive to repair but they tend to need repairs more frequently, and have a shorter lifespan than scooters from Japan or Taiwan.  We also have Taiwanese scooters available that are extremely reliable (Kymco, SYM, Lance); these come with (limited) two-year parts and labor warranties.

​

Are they hard to get parts for?

We stock most of the common mechanical parts in our store.  Other parts can typically be available within 2-7 days.  We usually have parts available to keep a Chinese scooter running. Plastic body parts on the older models may be hard to find.  We can suggest websites for you to order from.

​

How fast will they go?

50cc 4-stroke: 30-35 mph;  125cc Taiwanese: 55 mph;  150cc Chinese: 55 mph;  150cc Taiwan: 65 mph;  200cc Taiwan: 70 mph;  250cc Chinese: 65 mph;  300cc Taiwan: 80 mph

​

What is the gas mileage?

The range for 50cc scooters is roughly 80-100 mpg. For 150cc scooters, roughly 70-90 mpg. Gas mileage is dependent on the weight of the driver, driving conditions, grade of the road, etc.

What do I need to know about my new vehicle?

Your vehicle, like any other vehicle, will require routine maintenance. For example: respect the break-in period, schedule regular checkups, check & change the oil, tighten all nuts & bolts, clean the machine regularly, use proper gas, check handlebar grips, keep air filters clean, check the tires for wear and tire pressure, check spark plugs, check brakes, keep clean/new gas in vehicle, and never submerge in water.
