DON'T DO IT. I sold my 1700 dollar Chinese made scooter, from a reputable dealer, who supplied great after the purchase service. The problem was, and IS, that NOBODY can get GOOD PARTS. I sold the POS for 750 bucks, and took a HUGE loss, if you factor in the aftermarket stuff I put on it.
Here's my list of parts that I HAD TO REPLACE between August '07 and March '08....
Carb + Autochoke
Stator
Rectifier x 2
Headlight Lamp
Turn Signal Lamps
Entire Exhaust
CVT belt
Numerous quick clips where the plastic fastens together.
I liked that little thing, but I wouldn't want to let someone from here buy one thinking it'll run right, ever. They are so hit and miss, it's not even funny. Rusty metal after one trip in the rain from watered down paint, and no clearcoat, loose crimp connectors on wiring everywhere, cheap plastic that cracks if you look at it funny, transmission belts that wear out in 4 months, the list goes on.
The Chinabikes suffer from really poor quality control. Badly. Scary stuff really. I really researched the **** outta my purchase, ended up with a better than average brand name from China, and STILL got a lemon! It took weeks to get parts, I've heard stories of people waiting MONTHS for vital parts.
I suggest that you try and find a stator for a Honda GY6 motor. that's the engine that is most commonly cloned by the Chinese, and see if you can find one, get it in less than 48 hours, and not have to pay a fortune for it. I am SO glad I bought my Suzuki. It's 26 years old, and I can still buy parts from a dealer. My dealer doesn't even sell those same scooters anymore, and I bought it less than a year ago.
Just my two cents. (plus a few extra for good measure)
