2008 150cc Tank Urban Sporty refreshed for the season By rockinez (Read 1,024 times)

After 6 years I am still happy with this minimalist China Scoot. It is small for a 150cc and fits in tight spaces.

This year's refresh included a new carb, CDI, & coil. The majority of the original fasteners have been replaced with higher quality fasteners. New fuel and vacuum lines. It runs better than it ever has.

I am pretty happy with this little scoot. I seem to have replaced all the problems components. It starts easy and runs strong for a 150cc China Scoot.

I put a new speedometer on it at 4000 China miles when the original gave up the ghost. I have about 650 China miles on the new speedometer. I am guessing in actual miles 3000 to 3500.

Cyborg, it was a POS when I got it new in 2008. I had to replace all the regular things, plus a few surprises before it was anywhere dependable. It ran fine last year, but I put it up with ethanol laced gasoline, and the interior of the carb was too far gone to clean. Best thing that ever happened, because I replaced it with a nice Japanese carb with outstanding results.

It is so small I have had problems with people trying to share the same parking space with it. I have to park in the middle of parking spaces. I caught one old guy trying to move it so he could have the space. The wheel lock was on so I came out with the scoot sideways, and a crazy old coot cussing and pulling on it. I asked him what he thought he was doing. He proceeded to cuss me up and down for wasting a parking space. I reminded him that he was the only person in his truck :-)

Very funny.
