FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do scooters require a motorcycle endorsement?
In Arizona, a motorcycle endorsement is required to ride a scooter on public streets. This INCLUDES 49cc scooters. The exception is for PEDAL DRIVEN bikes or scooters with a helper motor of 50cc or less. Insurance and registration are also required for vehicles ridden on public roadways.
​
Is financing available?
Yes, we have multiple options for financing. No credit and bad credit, as well as discount programs on select Taiwanese scooters for persons with good credit.
​
Can you order vehicles if they aren't in stock in the store?
You can order vehicles we don't have currently in stock with a 50% deposit. We will then place the order with the vendor and receive it in about a week.
​
Are Chinese scooters reliable?
The short answer is “somewhat”. They are inexpensive to purchase and inexpensive to repair but they tend to need repairs more frequently, and have a shorter lifespan than scooters from Japan or Taiwan. We also have Taiwanese scooters available that are extremely reliable (Kymco, SYM, Lance); these come with (limited) two-year parts and labor warranties.
​
Are they hard to get parts for?
We stock most of the common mechanical parts in our store. Other parts can typically be available within 2-7 days. We usually have parts available to keep a Chinese scooter running. Plastic body parts on the older models may be hard to find. We can suggest websites for you to order from.
​
How fast will they go?
50cc 4-stroke: 30-35 mph; 125cc Taiwanese: 55 mph; 150cc Chinese: 55 mph; 150cc Taiwan: 65 mph; 200cc Taiwan: 70 mph; 250cc Chinese: 65 mph; 300cc Taiwan: 80 mph
​
What is the gas mileage?
The range for 50cc scooters is roughly 80-100 mpg. For 150cc scooters, roughly 70-90 mpg. Gas mileage is dependent on the weight of the driver, driving conditions, grade of the road, etc.
