CF Moto Freedom/Fashion 250 Scooters
The CF Moto Freedom/Fashion 250 is a clone of the Honda Helix. Hold the blueprints and die to CF Moto in 2001 and then started making the Helix again in 2004-2007. That has not stopped CF Moto from turning out their clone. I have had an '07 and '08 model and at almost $4000 less than the Helix you can forgive it if it isn't up to the Honda standard.
The body panels fit and finish aren't precise and they tend to come apart some leaving gaps. There are some extras that CF Moto has that Honda never had on the Helix.
They include a trunk up to and a stereo cassette with 4 speakers in the bottom trunk. An MP3 player would have been nice but we can't complain for a $2800 bike.
The 244cc engine runs good and the bike itself handles well and can cruise to 70mph, although it does have some seat vibration at that speed and is much more comfortable around the 60mph mark.
I have gotten about 65mpg with both that I have had and they start up fine and the LED display has that nice 80's look but works fine.
The seat is well padded and large, so it makes up for the 10in. rear wheel in ride.
There are 2 other Brand names for this bike; Qlink and Baron. They all buy theirs from CF MOTO and then rebadge them. So shop around for the best price in this bike.

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.
