Genuine Scooters Review

Genuine Scooter Company–
Home of the Genuine Buddy

Genuine scooters are great scooters! Examples are the Genuine Buddy, Stella, and several other quality models.

Genuine Scooter Company offer classic styling with modern convenience...

I own the Genuine Buddy 125cc motor scooter, as you may have read elsewhere on this site. So, I am perfectly positioned to offer you an honest scooter review of this brand and model.

I bought my scooter from Scooters of Boise here in Boise, Idaho, and they told me the Genuine Buddy was not only the most popular motor scooter they sell; it is also the one with the highest quality. After seeing one and taking it for a test drive, I could see why. That was enough to sell me.

But let me give you a bit more detail about what makes Genuine scoots so special. By the way, I think they picked a great name for their company. The Genuine Motor Company is genuine... the real deal! They know from scooters...

Background Information

On their website, Genuine Scooters says they are "the largest and most well-known supplier of vintage scooters, parts and accessories, in North America." They have a sister site, too, called ScooterworksUSA that sells both Vespas and Genuine Stellas from a location in Chicago.

Genuine has 17 years in the scooter industry and their board is made up of scooter dealers and drivers. They're known for being responsive to their market as well.

And, here's a fact you might not know that Scooters of Boise told me... their scooter parts are made by Piaggio, the same company that manufactures Vespas! They're the same exact high quality parts... but at a much lower cost. That's hard to argue with...

Genuine scoots are assembled in Asia, and they look on that as a good thing, since scooters are HUGE in Asia... entire families depend on them as their regular mode of transportation. As Genuine says, "The roads are rugged, and the climate is harsh: they're built to take a beating."

Genuine Models

Genuine Scooter Company makes 5 different models of scooters:

• Stella Scooter
• Genuine Buddy
• Rattler
• Blur
• Black Cat

The Stella model is a Genuine Scooters classic. Retro styling and mod colors have made her a much-loved scooter. Clearly, when you visit the Genuine Scooter Company website, Stella is their showcase model. They've dedicated many more pages, images, and rhetoric to her than any of their other models to date, though i think that is likely to change.

The Buddy is one of Genuine's newest models... and quickly becoming the most popular. It comes in 2 engine sizes (50cc and 125cc) and is a high quality all-around street legal scooter with tons of great features. The Genuine Buddy is the Genuine scooters model I went for, as I said, and you can read more about the Buddy on this page.

The Rattler is a 50cc scooter with motocross stylings and a 2-stroke engine. Download the Rattler brochure here

The Blur scooter is a 150cc scooter that's being marketed for its ability to go fast and generate fun. It's a bit pricey in my opinion, but if you're looking for a fast gas scooter, this could be just the ticket for you. Download the brochure here

The Black Cat scooter is another of Genuine's 50cc, 2-stroke scooters. It doesn't go more than 30 MPH, but if you're looking for a city commuter type scooter, it might be right for you.

One thing's for sure... isn't it cute, in a wild sort of way? With it's bright color styling and black cat picture on the front fender, it's certainly unique. You can download the Black Cat brochure here.

Another Sign of Quality & Customer Focus

One other thing I have to mention and that was a definite selling point for me... nearly all of the Genuine scooters come with a 2-year, unlimited mileage warranty, PLUS 1 year of roadside assistance that covers running out of gas, flat tires, jump starts, and towing. I think that's a feature that's going to be hard to compete with.
