I've had tons of problems with this model since writing this review:
* Both footwells eventually split and broke
* Chain adjustment bolts stripped - replaced w good ones
* Chain tensioner needed to be removed
* Swing arm bushings needed to be replaced
* 1 front tire totally worn down - hard if not impossible to have front wheels aligned due to design defect

I've fixed all these issues, but I have less than 20 hours of riding and probably 100 hours of fixing into this machine. Replaced the chain with a heavy duty one. Of course the GY6 engine is doing fine

The Gio Beast has been better though it is a manual trans. The Linhai 200 is head and shoulders above in quality, way more power, and the Tao has been sidelined. The Linhai does cost more but 0 time fixing it in the last few months has been great.
