TNG 150 Grand Sport Scooter Review

First off, I have had 31 motorcycles in my life and this TNG 150 Grand Sport is my first scooter. I'm up in years but that's another story.

I am finding out that scooters are not as durable as motorcycles. You beat them and they will break. This scooter I got used. Its a 2008 model that is a real eye catcher. It's got halogen head lights and LED tail lights. As a matter of fact, its got more lights then is really necessary. But that's a good thing.

I have put just under 2000 miles on it and it works wonderfully. It has larger wheels on it so it's very stable at speed.

From what I have seen, there really is very little difference in these machines, unlike motorcycles which can vary so much in engine configuration,drive lines and transmissions.

I bought this TNG 150 Grand Sport scooter because I like the dealer and it's close, so servicing is easy. I think that's the most important thing about picking out the brand of any vehicle... the dealer!

This scoot runs great. Starts everytime. Gets around 80 mpg. Also it has more acceleration then I expected for a 150cc machine.

Oil changes are a breeze and rear end oil is easy. There is a lot of plastic on it, body panels and dash/glove box and so on. I don't like that too much, but I can live with it.

I have read other reviews on TNGs and most were not good but I have no problem with this product and I think it looks great.

One last thing, this thing corners like a house cat with a bad attitude on carpet! I think I can judge that, being I have owned some very fast machines in the past. Besides all that, it's a ball to ride!
