Have a chance to buy a second hand Tomos scoot for a good price.
Since its badged as a Tomos, any difference in quality between these and the other china-scoots?
Anyone own one? I don't hear much about them and havn't personally seen any on the road around here (except for the one that I might buy).
Thanks

I have 3 Tomos pedal mopeds and the one with oil injector the pump went out the other two were premix and so was the 3rd after that . Other than that not one single problem besides a tire blowing out . I have seen several of the Tomos NMitros 50 and 150s and the seem to be decent . Older Tomos were made in Europe or so not sure which country and I think the newer ones may be rice burners

The newer sporty tomos are basically chinese scoots. We had one a nice orange 50cc tomos nitro and it was just as 5hitty as a chinese scoot as far as engine and wiring but the body panels did line up a lot better. It used same chinese brakes & wheels as well.
I would recommend getting an older Kick start Tomos A50 2t if you were to get one.

Yeah thanks guys--wasn't talking about the mopeds though, I've already owned one of those in my teens (along with a PUCH). @mean_motofino That's exactly what I was talking about, its a "Nitro", sorta like the one in the picture below. With TOMOS being a well-established co I thought that maybe their badged china-scoots might be built with better stuff, ya know? Yeah, I wasn't really in the market for one ( I already got a 2012 Zuma) but a crack-addict aquaintance of mine offered me his for a really, really good price, so I was just wondering about it. Thanks Attachments:
