with proper maintenance how long will it last? By bobthetechguy (Read 627 times)

Just curious about how many miles I could expect this Chinese scooter to last? I've heard some people calling them junk at 5000 miles and other people claiming 30-40k miles from their scoot.

Mine is a 50cc and I just rolled over 3k as the 3rd owner of this scoot. I plan on changing the oil every 500 miles on it.


Should I expect to be rebuilding the motor before 7500 miles? If I do I think Ill put a big bore kit in it for more hill climbing power.

Any motor will last as long as you let it. If you take care of it and don't flog it like a rented mule, you'll never be rid of it.

I plan on getting a new scooter every year and making back at least 75% of my investment.

my 50 has about 5200 on the clock. I know many others that have a lot more

Don't drive it like you stole it and with maintenance it should last as long as you want it too.

i had one with a little over 10,000 miles before i sold it, the one i have now is a 2 stroke and had almost 8000 before i put bbk on it, like everyone is saying do the maintenance and don't beat the hell out of it and it could last a long time

I pretty much have to run full throttle all the time to not even keep up with traffic. If I'm on a level road and no one is behind me I'll back the throttle off by 20% or when coasting downhill.
Can't wait to tune this carb
