Just wanted to know if anyone else has used them. I bought my first scooter (for my wife) from them and had a less than desirable experience. It's a 150 GY6 engine. Sorry, I don't have any pictures right now. Here's my problems-

1) the wire harness was pulled out of the left brake handle - couldn't start the bike. Waited for a new one -it was too short. I ended up splicing into the old one.

2) chrome flaking off the start button casing.

3) left blinker light not working

4) headlight burned out before I could get out of the parking lot

5) warped front brake rotor

6) flat back tire

I think we bought a Friday bike when everyone was ready to go home.
To be fair, they did replace everything so far except the brake rotor. We are duckering over me having to pay shipping. They said they already sent some stuff at their cost , so now it's my turn. I said I couldn't know the rotor was warped because the bike was unusable until I got the first things - oh well....

The bike is running very good and my wife loves it but is already wanting more power. I'll probably get her a 250 and use the 150 myself.

I'll go and make a proper intro in the right thread area, but my name is Mike and I'm glad I found Scooter Doc!

Well, the scooter has been down for a while because my wife left me and she can't fix anything. Being the nice co-dependant guy I am, I offered to get it running again. We always had probs starting it and I think I found out why. The diaphragm on top of the carb was torn in two places. Got the new top of carb. (Can't just get the diaphragm).
The scoot has 1250 miles on it so I'm adjusting the valves as soon as I get back out to the shop. They are both a little tight but I first have to look up what they are supposed to be before I adjust them.
I really appreciate this site as it has all the info and more I could ever want. The wife still likes the scooter despite the fact that it's been broken longer than running.
I give BIG kudos to all you guys (and girls ?)that like these little GY-6's and keep them running. I've had nothing but trouble and this is the last time I'll fix hers.
This is a great site and I will always tell anyone I see with a small scoot about it.
For myself - an 2008 Suzuki Burgman 400- love it!

Mike 6736 - yes, I had it drop shipped.
