New guy question about Chinese Scoot body panels. By wraithkwk (Read 452 times)

I just bought this 2011 Meiduo 150cc Scooter for 50 bucks.

The body is a mixed batch of panels from some random 50cc scooter and the original ones.  After replacing a vacuum line and charging the battery this little thing runs great but looks like something that could have been cast in the latest Mad Max movie.

Is there any site where I might be able to purchase new panels for this thing.  The manufacturers website seems pretty. useless.

Appreciate any advice

Sorry. I don't find anything with a few searches with that info. The body style # from the I.D. plates may help more. For example, mine is a YY150T-2 body type. There may be a plate by your fan shroud, under the seat, etc.

I'm a new scooter guy, too, so this may or may not be any help, but trying to do what I can.

When you say his is a "2011 Meiduo 150cc Scooter" is "Meiduo" the brand/make or the model of the scooter? If Meiduo represents the manufacturer, then we'd need to know WHAT model of Meiduo scooter you actually possess. There's a lot of different models of "Meiduo" scooters, in fact there are about five different sub-models of a Meiduo Falcon (Falcon 2, Falcon 3, Falcon 4...) and each model has it's differenced but no doubt there's also probably a lot of similarities.

Now if the Meiduo (or Mei Duo) is the model, then this might be a TaoTao Mei Duo 150cc scooter. Either way I do believe you may have options when it comes to body panel/pieced. A lot of these scooters have pretty much the same basic frame size and design, so why couldn't you use a set of panels from ANY scooter of similar/same frame size and design?

See picture of the different Meiduo (brand) scooters and notice the line on the far left-hand side. Those scooters all look very similar and I'm betting you could switch and swap out panels, so long as you kept them as a set (front and bottom = 1 set / (rear and sides around seat = 1 set).

I also came across these deductions based on my experience in stripping off ALL of the body panels, ordering replacements, and putting them all back together again. Pick a style you like and order the front or rear (set) and try it out.
