Vendor?
What was the point of origination on the freight bill of lading . . which TaoTao warehouse? The 139QMB 50cc 4-stroke is relatively reliable, until performance enhancements are made . . expecting 40+mph from a 30-35mph engine. |

Interesting TaoTao 50 - Znen 50 engine component comparison. Znen is generally considered to be mid-tier . . SSR, RSS, BMS, Wolf, Motorino, some Bintelli.

My friend's company, Excalibur, used to be 2 miles from Taotao, but Excalibur has moved to City of Industry, Cal. about 12 miles away. If he sells a Taotao scooter or ATV, he gets hold of his friends at Taotao in Chino, and drop ships, unless it is a package deal and Excalibur is bundling shipping on a few products that are not all Taotao. His connections allow him to get hold of warranty parts; heck parts in general! He tells me one of his connections is lazy, LOL, so he has to keep on him, and the guy will eventually relent and take care of the problem. That is one of the reasons I suggest people buy Taotao products specifically from Alan at Excalibur. His prices will be pretty much the same as most everyone else's, but you get a live human being to deal with issues that might arise post-sale.

I haven't changed fluids yet. The recent snow storm hasn't allowed me to "break" them in so I change fluids. But I do know where the gear oil is now. Other than adjusting the one carb idle they run well. I got 35mph out of one on a hilly road. I weigh around 210.
