Should I buy a BMS Grand Prix 150cc for $1299?

by Tom

I know very little about the great variety of scooter manufacturers I see online. I've found a BMS Grand Prix scooter for $1299 and I'm wondering if it would be a wise buy.


Any information on this one would be of great help. Are there better scooters available?

Considerations
by: Jim Zeiser

The problem with buying online is not what-but who. If you're thinking about buying that BMS from www.scootersus.com that's good. Most of the other people selling BMS online are fly-by-night. Some people have had good luck with www.superiorpowersports.com but I have my doubts. I still hold in the belief that www.gsmotorworks.com is the best seller of online Chinese scooters.

If you do buy online remember that you're the mechanic and must do the prep work that a shop would do if you bought from a dealer. Checking for loose nuts and bolts, checking the electrical connections and changing fluids are all part of the successful online purchase. Otherwise buy a scooter from www.craigslist.org

Do not buy online, ever. If possible buy Taiwan.

Battery Tender Junior in package

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.
