Where can I get service for my Chinese Scooter???
Hello,
I just purchased a Lance Duke Touring 150cc from a private party with only 19 miles on it. I will be using it to commute to and from work and I am getting frustrated that I cannot find any place to service this scooter. I live in Yarmouth, Maine (04096). Please help. I am new to this forum so any help would be appreciated. David Coleman (SAVnGAS) |

What type of service do you need? Most have found that your just need to do it yourself.
Nothing about that scooter will be too difficult even for a beginner. Allen

Where to get service in Maine?
As I purchased the bike from a private party with just 19 miles on it, I want to have a mechanic go over the whole thing (breaks, cables, fluids, spark plug, tighten screws, etc.) so I can get a sort of "baseline" on the bike.
Also, I want to develop a relationship with a mechanic so if/when things need fixing, I have someone to go to. Any help would be appreciated! SAVnGAS |

I went the website and found there dealers. Just put in your zip code to bring them up. Allen

Hey another Mainah! I am up here in Rockland. Not familiar with dealers or repair shops down your way. There is a great repair shop in Nobleboro that will fix anything. Louie's Powersports. But that would be a haul from Yarmouth. There are some good scooter shops in NH namely http://www.aogear.com in Manchester and if you go to the Flyscooters Website http://www.flyscooters.com and click dealers they have a dealer in NH and most Fly dealers will fix anything too. PM me if you need some other ideas and I'll look into it and give you a call.

Chinese anything is not a good deal if you're running to a service center for any little thing all the time. Nothing is even broken and you won't go over it yourself, that's a sign you should just cough up the cash for a honda because the cost is going to work out the same for you.
The honda may be 3x the price or you may find a used one pretty damn close but even a 30 year old honda or Kawa or Yama in good shape would be a better bet. Just a dose of reality... |

I would much rather buy a brand new china bike than a 30-year-old anything.
