The shifting thing is totally overstated. Once you remember to shift casually and let the centrifugal clutch disengage it works like a charm. I've had the 50cc Cub clones for two years now and they never fail to delight. My wife even got one of them up to 55 mph down a very steep hill and it survived fine. I would imagine the Symba is even better built and will last forever.

OK KZ, rake me over the coals. What is the big difference between the Fly Scout and the Symba. I know Fly is history but there's still quite a few of these bumping around. It just seems like they're very similar concepts. Any identical parts? Rich

Flyscooters Scout

I'm not a big authority on these things but I gather that the SYM is made in their China plant. Flyscooter had the Scout built by somebody else and is fraught with the usual Chinese flaws. You can buy the Scout today from www.thriftyscooters.com for about $1500 as it's imported by Roketa (Goldenvale). The difference in quality is why there's almost $1000 in price.
