The idea that when you buy a China scoot, you're on your own is dated. There are many shops that sell China scoots and can service them like the big boys if you want to spend the repair money. Of course there are used car lots and hardware stores selling them still but you have to open your eyes and ask if they fix what they sell before you buy. Not to put too fine a point on it but I read other forums. Even the brand name boys botch it up periodically.

You ride ANY two wheeled transport you better know your bike. If you aren't able to work on it you should at least be able to tell your mechanic what symptoms are present. Bikes are not cars.
