Hey all I had a bad experience buying a 150cc today and backed out of the deal. For only about $150 more I can buy a new 50cc scooter. This is it: (I want silver)  www.usaluxe.com/PictureModelColor.php?Picture_Color_No=33Its a 2013 "Peace Sports" (I know) Dash 50cc. The dealer is giving me a 1 yr warrantee. $700 total. I've constantly heard the phrase "Chinese crap" I'm sure thats true to a point. But maintenace has to factor in too. If you treat the scooter like crap and leave it out and dont change the oil of course it wont hold up. Anyway, thoughts on this model I'm looking at? Any experiences? thanks Another pic:  |

Well it all depends on where you plan to ride it. The 50s are only good for 30mph and little over. BUT READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY: Alleyoop www.collegescootersmd.com/dash |

The one in the link are the newer ones, all they do is change some cosmetics plastics to make them look a little different. They cannot change them to much because the pieces have to bolt onto the frame which are all the same(HEHE).
I would get something that is very common which there are parts galore for them neither one of the ones you picked are very common. I would go for a TAO TAO VIP if you want something that parts are available for and are very common and a lot of folks have them.

theyre basically all the same unless the engine is a 1p39qmb instead of the uber common 139qmb or qmb139 same thing. the lingyu is about as common as dirt as you can find. the 2011 one in the pic like mine anyway. its a 'sunny' style body which is the most common that i usually see around where i live and in pics/ on craigslist etc.
the parts are avaliable cheap and easy. scrappydogscooters.com has stuff real cheap

The guy wants 650 for the white one. Seems like scooters go for a premium here. The local scooter shop is shoving a Benelli Spint down my throat by I cant do $1000+. *****Ok.. So just to take a quick vote, you guys all choose the white one? If you want to check out Louisville ky craigslist real fast and see if theres anything you expert like better I'd really appreciate it. I dont know about these like you guys. |

It's too bad the Peace Sports Dash is bad for the new ones. I like the style better than the other one.

the peace's do have better lights. mines too high. and its ajusted down.
probably they are actually a better deal than the lingyu. the lingyu appears to be missing front&back fender. and for 650 is kinda steep. check the engine on the left side under the beltcase. if its a 139qmb or a qmb139 its a very common engine and a good one at that
