2009 VIP Future Champion 50cc Chinese Scooter
by Steve
(VA)
I bought this scooter used (only 27 miles on it when I got it)and it has turned out to be great! I have since put 263 miles on it and it is running fine.
They are about $950 new, and I paid $800 for mine. I don't understand why everybody is so scared of the reliability of Chinese scooters, because mine is awesome.
It goes about 45 top speed, and it gets about 80 miles to the gallon. They are cheap, but so far so good for me and my scooter.
Firstly, the thing you must do is find a scooter mechanic guy nearby in case you need any work. I found one, and he told me to get an oil change at 500 miles. Most of the parts are pretty cheap from what I can gather, and even if this thing did die after 5000 or 6000 miles....who cares, I only paid $800 for it!!!
They are really fun, and the look of this model is pretty cool... silver and black with lots of storage areas. You CANNOT go wrong for the money here.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Attention!
I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
