Head Scratching New guy here. Need advise!

Hey guys,
So I’ve been watching too many YouTube videos and I’m getting into the idea of buying a bike, obviously a China bike. Probably a bias place to ask but I have heard mix reviews on the Tao Tao TBR-7. Can anyone put me at ease and point me in the direction as to the best place to buy one?
Thank you all!
-Nick

Any forum will have mixed reviews, I've heard horror stories from BMW owners.... my Beta had pretty crappy wiring.. I've had Honda's with crappy fueling...

You're best bet is to read up, decide which problems you are willing to risk.. and run with it. Nobody else can decide what tradeoffs are acceptable to you.

As far as reviews, two considerations are how hard was the vehicle ridden, and how good was the maintenance. Sometimes you have to read between the lines with reviews.

Other issues: cost; local dealer availability and support; reputation of online dealer; EFI vs. carb.
