Just wanted to say Hello to everyone! I just signed up this morning and I am glad to have found this forum as I also have 2 other bikes as well. I just bought this 2010 AutoMoto 150cc with 37 miles on it two weeks ago and so far I am really liking it. I also have a 2011 150cc scooter with 3400 miles currently on it as well as a 2005 Honda Silverwing 650cc scoot with 18,900 miles on it. These bikes are my daily commuters and I don't have a car, I love riding and the weather doesn't bother me much. They have all been reliable (though I just got the automoto) so far and I really haven't had to work on them yet. But glad to find a place!      |

Welcome to the forum Automotoguy, very cool stable you have going there. Love the canister muffler on the red scooter, and the Silverwing....well what can you say. I'm curious, is there much of a learning curve on the steering of the Auto Moto?

Not at all, I got used to the automoto almost immediately. I actually prefer it over the other two now for commuting. It's almost like a small car that gets 80mpg. I just laugh at anyone who puts down Chinese bikes as I've had no trouble yet and their quality is great, not a Honda, but then again neither is the price.

Rich, i can see why you asked about the luring curve as i talked to a guy that has a 250 Piaggio MP3 and he told me that it did take a bit to get the feel of it,but after a while he said it was better then 2 wheels as far as handling goes. From what i got to see close up.. i like the quality is Great.. the price, not so. Oh well. www.piaggiousa.com/scooters.html#!s=overview/mp3-250  |

That Piaggio MP3 is a nice bike, they had a few used ones at World of Wheels last weekend when I was there. I would imagine two wheel in the front would take some getting used to, but the automoto really didn't take me long at all.
