There's a machine in that picture?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

LOL
The scooter in the photo looks quite angular and interesting, I can see why they appeal to you. Girl aside.

We have loads of these running around the schoolyards. All under different names but basically the same parts.

Well, it's not really an aside, it's more of a three quarter rear shot...

Well here it is the after report.
Not the expierience I was looking for but still tolerable so far.
The 150 red one had a bent brake lever on delivery
The pink 125 was smashed with a forklift
the 125 blue had a transmission issue trying to resolve it
the 110 blue has a bad engine seal or something and is leaking badly but it runs great
The 250 blue had a broken light and 1 plastic piece broken
has been very good so far though.
I can honestly say I won't do this anymore but I would by one off the internet as they sell em in bulk to these internet companies and you can get one for like $100 over what they pay. So for a person to buy one dirt cheap put it together and ride it and fix stuff on a regular basis nothing is really hard to fix on em. I'd say you would probably make out, as long as your using it recreational that is beat it and probably won't hold up.
There it is fella's I humbly stand before you a bit wiser and down a few bucks coulda been worse.
