![]() ![]() It was a Lintex branded scooter, but the engines are pretty much all the same (I have not heard anything about Taotao being inferior as compared to other Chinese bikes). Again, this is the suggested (loose interpretation) for what most of us own-thumpers, but I have used the technique for a friend's Chinese 50cc, and it ran great for over 3000 miles (a little over a year) before she got her second ticket as an unlicensed rider and parked her steed, and then her scooter got stolen out of her apt. Then add another quart, ride another 150 miles, and drain again. ![]() vertical 150+cc thumpers, but I have broken in a scooter by draining out the first 'real' oil after 100 miles. I am not sure if there is a slightly different break-in for scooters vs. Once you throw in a quart or so (there will probably be some shipping oil left, so measure it to make sure you don't overfill, but the majority should be your first 'real' quart) then ride it around to initially break it in. Once you assemble the stallion, start it up with the shipping oil for a few minutes (this will thin the shipping oil for better draining), but resist the urge to ride for even a few feet. There are numerous videos of them on youtube (as well as numerous other brands, too, but they are all similar), and make sure you drain out the shipping oil BEFORE your first ride. Taotao are a good, solid discount scooter, as long as you have no qualms wrenching. If you can figure out if anyone else uses Znen scooters, look at those first. Are you mail-ordering?īMS and SSR use Znen as their OEM, and they tend to be notches above most of the '$650-shipped' plain-jane scooters, but so are their prices. ![]() Is that your budget? If so, then they are as good as you will get (which is actually better than it sounds). ![]()
