Any suggestions on where to purchase

I am looking into buying 2 new Taotao 125s for my kids, 12 and 14. Any suggestions on models of where to purchase them from. I am going to have to get them online I believe since I don't have a local place here in Albuquerque.

Thanks!

I have been browsing lately for one for my grandson who is 11. I think I am going with this one.

I hear good things about the zongshen motor. this one is 120cc vs the taotao having only 110 even though they list it as a 125. The coolster seems like another good option which lists as a true 125.

I was going to go with powersportsmax but they have an "F" BBB rating. https://www.bbb.org/dallas/business-...on-tx-90718038

TXPowersports has a "B" rating at least... https://www.bbb.org/central-texas/bu...n-tx-235976231

That's funny. They ALL should have an F rating.....then float to a B rating, then back to an F.
It's all luck of the draw. Swampy had a great experience with PSM Some don't. Azhule had a horrendous time with TXP. Worst I've seen. Some have had good luck.

Roll the dice and open the checkbook. Unfortunately, it's kind of how it works.

Well that's good to hear I guess. Where did you buy from?

I bought from Superior. They did what they said they'd do and I got my paperwork before the Rhino arrived. Here in CA, they have to do the DMV work for you.
My only complaint was they wouldn't warranty a piece of plastic that was messed up in shipping. Ended up being no big deal.

The other issue I had with Powersportsmax was this write up about them...

Actually I bought my two quads from Superior Powersports and didn't have any issues (except for the normal waiting part) with them at all.

Your mileage may vary.

So I bought a Taotao and a Coolster from txpowersports.com. I ordered them last Thursday and just received gem today. Everything looks good minus one broke tail light. Any idea on how I get the paperwork to get them registered?

You will more than likely have to request the MCO and BOS from where you purchased.
