Poor Canuck looking for Chinese Wheel Hubs!
Hi all,
I have been wearing out the internet looking for a source to purchase a new rear hub (23 splines, 4 bolt) standard - if there is such a thing...hub for a 250 that I picked up last year. One of the wheels were wobbling quite bad in the fall....before giving up on it for the winter. After looking at it closer, it looked like someone had the weld break on the hub and had someone re-weld it.....not quite center! Anyways... I have tried to find a supplier to buy another hub from - hopefully someone that can ship to TO Ontario Canada. I cant seem to get replies from people on Kijiji etc. I have found lots of images in google for the part, same dimensions etc but they are all located in AU or on the other side of the world. This is what I am looking for..... http://www.ebay.ie/itm/4-Stud-23-T-S...wAAOSw241Yeeiu Does anyone know where I can get one from Canada? Or anyone willing to ship to TO Ontario Canada reasonably? |

Thanks Culcune,
I am wondering at what point it is not worthwhile to keep going with these bikes.... I bought it for $250....it looked rough...but I had no idea what rough was until I found wires ripped apart, burnt stator, wheels bent...metal broken and bent....I thought that I was doing well but I have sunk another $200 into it...and it is running....but I still don't have a battery! The previous owner just beat the crap out of this thing. Hopefully in the spring things will start coming together...... Thanks for your help! |

I have to laugh; when I found my '09 TMEC 200 enduro (I bought it used in '12--you guys didn't have them in Canada), the guy I bought it from had gotten it cheap from a friend of his brothers. His brother's friend, a filmmaker, was going to use it in a MTV video where it was going to fly off a cliff with a dummy on it. However, they figured out that sending a two-wheel bike to 'it's death' was going to be too difficult. So, they contacted a friend of mine who used to distribute cheap Chinese motorsports (he is now the TGB scooter distributor for the US) and bought a quad off of him. In other words, people have bought them new to destroy them!

Looks like the same hubs used on the Taotao Rhino and ATA250D. Any Taotao parts dealers in Canada?

Taotao is very common in the land of butter tarts and maple syrup .
