Very interesting call today. Seems there's a new player in town. Puma Cycleswww.pumacycles.com/From what I've been told, the ZNEN GROUP, has separated their manufacturing base and now offers product from two factories, with two different VIN designations. www.pumacycles.com/our-factory.htmlLB5 is made by Fosti Motorcycles Manufacturing CO.,LTD and will be sold under the Puma brand from Puma dealerships only. L5Y is made by Taizhou Zhongneng Motorcycles CO.,LTD, who builds for Lance Powersports, BMS Motor, Qlink, Eurospeed, Flyscooter, KGB, Vitacci, etc. Will they really be two different scoots with different quality levels? Or just a marketing strategy. Very curious to see if ZNEN can pull it off. Can't wait to see them at Dealer Expo. |

That scoot is a direct copy of the Taiwanese TGB Delivery offered in 50 & 151 cc engine sizes.
I own 2 of them, a 50 and a 151. I call them country scooter riders pick-um-up trucks. I rode the tail of The Dragon out of Bryson City, NC last Sept.. I love mine, great for post office hauls
for my home based business. The 150 cruises at 60, tops out at 65. It is set up for Pizza delivery too. That is a 49.3 gallon box and you wouldm be amazed at what you can stuff in it.
They are a fun utilitarian ride!!!

Cookies, we got 6" of snow here in the NGA mountains last Sunday, Locked every thing down from Atlanta north. We have a steep shaded drive, still not passable. Does not happen
often in GA but when it does, then it is,'Katie bar the door.' Temp was 19 this morning, has warmed up to the low 30s, willl be 15 tomorrow morning and then up into the 40s. The great
melt down starts then followed by flooding.
