2006 DIAMO VELUX SCOOTER 150cc good or bad buy?

[savy09]

May buy this 206 Diamo Velux 150cc model with folding roof
Don;t see many around, can I still get parts for it? Is it a gy6 150?
Anybody worked on one? Your feedback needed!

i read, the other week, that the company
went out of business.
NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE

and heck, im not sure its a GY-6, but i think it is.
if it is
parts for the engine , etc should be just as easy to get.

but like body parts, roof stuff, etc
may be hard to find.

but im just a red- head
so its just my $.02

I was starting to look for old threads for you, and strangely I found your own:

As far as I know there are a bunch of brands of this, all of which are from xingyue and known from them as the Vogue, not to be confused with the Vog. It's also known as a scooterpod and the automoto.

thanks Mike for reminding me... in that case, he deleted the post on craigslist.
This one was almost new (only 200 miles?), and on e-bay and I was outbid on it. -- Savy

I think Benelli bought them, they were at a 2011 show in europe?
