Scooter FAQ

What type of engine do your scooters have?
All our models have a Honda OEM Cloned Engine. This means based on expired patents our MFG have built the same engines as Honda and thus, parts are enterchangable.

Why are your scooters so affordable?
No expensive retail location, no costly overhead - it's as simple as that. We keep our costs low so you can buy an amazing scooter at a low price! There are other scooters out there for under a $1000... but BEWARE: cheap price, cheap scooters.

Who do I buy Scooter Insurance from?
Geico, Progressive, USAA are a few. You can google the rest for the best up to date carriers.

My Scooter won't start!
It can be for a number of reasons. Go through this trouble shooting check list to find out what the problem is.
A) Make sure your gas tank has gas. DO NOT put oil in the gas tank!
B) Make sure the battery is connected, the fuse on the red line is not burnt out, and the battery is charged.
C) Check the spark plug wire and spark plug for a connection. Unscrew spark plug and when you try to start the engine you should see a spark at the end of the spark plug.
D) Try starting the engine with the kill switch not engaged. Sometimes, the kill switch is bad, so go to the bottom of your scooter and unplug the kill switch wire, then try kick starting your moped (the kick start is next to the kick stand). Remember, before you try kick starting the scooter, pre-fill the gas bulb 10 or more times.
E) If too many starting attempts have been made on the engine, there may be excessive fuel in the cylinder. So, allow time or remove spark plug to allow fuel to evaporate and then re-connect and try again.
F) Prime the bulb by pre-filling the gas bulb repeatedly at least 10 times and make sure you can see the fuel going in and filling up the bulb and then draining into the carburetor.
G) If the engine starts after you prime the bulb, but the vacuum is still not sucking gas then you need to pressurize the vacuum. You do this by taking the end of the vacuum that connects to the gas bulb and use a device to suck on the line while the engine is running. After a few sucks, gas will start coming out (this is sometimes needed to re-pressurize the vacuum if you haven't driven it for a while or if you run out of gas).
H) If the vacuum line is sucking, you have no kinks in the gas line, and the gas line is making it to the gas tank, then you need a new vacuum. Contact us and we will send you one. (Make sure you prime the bulb and get the engine running without the vacuum to ensure everything else is running properly.)

My front brake is not working that well?
If you have just bought your moped then you need to pump the brake a few times. After a few days of riding the scooter the front brake tightens up. If it is just happening, then check the hydraulic fluid (it's the silver box on the right handle bar) and fill it up if needed. Also, check for leaks on the line, the connections, and make sure you have sufficient brake pads.

I adjusted the carburetor like you told me, but it still doesn't run right?
It's probably the carburetor mounting screws. The screws have likely loosened and the engine is sucking in air beneath the carburetor, thereby running lean/fast. Take off the air filter and check the screws mounting the carburetor. You may want to remove the carburetor and the intake manifold completely and inspect and clean the gaskets.

My moped idles fast and doesn't run right?
Down on the engine next to the air intake is a screw with a spring on it. That screw allows you to adjust the carburetor. Do a quarter turn to see if there is any improvement.

Do I need a license for a 49cc Scooter?
Generally NO. We do however suggest you check your local DMV laws. we cannot accept a return based on the inability to acquire a license in your state.
