Got me a Tao Tao

Great looking, Hank!
You got a 49cc version, or a 63cc version?
49cc version does ~110 MPG, 40-43MPH tops,
63cc does ~100MPG, 45-48MPH tops.

Of course, I understand you won't be able to get correct top speed results at the break in...

TaoTao uses the same engine, and largely the same body frames for all their scooters.
Just the body panels differ.

BTW, just for your knowledge,
Corrosion X on the exhaust lasts about 3-6 weeks in a humid environment...
You may want to find high heat spray paint or something, to protect the 'chrome' on this bike.

Other than that, so far my ATM50 has had 5500km on it, and the only thing that broke was the headlight, and a wiring for the blinkers/horn came loose (ground).
It's more than triple paid itself off in gasoline alone compared to my car!
