Hello all, Am 56 yrs old and just bought two BMS Palazzo 150cc scooters a couple of months ago (mfr is Znen, which is a chinese mfr). My wife and I were looking for something to do together and so far we are having a blast! ;D Having to purchase two scooters instead of one pretty much meant we had to stay with a chinese mfr to keep the cost down (1/4 to 1/3 the cost of the name brands). Prior to this I had never owned a motorcycle or scooter. Overall, our experience so far pretty well tracks with Scoot Dawg's summary of what to expect. The engineering is solid on Znen scooters (our research revealed Znen is one of the better chinese makes) but you have to work your way around the workmanship issues. For example, couldn't get my wife's running after the first week due to a fuel vacuum pump (they tend to have issues with particles in fuel, vacuum lines from the factory) But I finally figured out I just had to take it apart and clean it and then we were good to go. But we took advantage of the two weeks it took to work the problem - we took the motorcycle safety foundation course together. Had a few other minor issues as well, but our online seller, Motorbuys, especially the tech support team, has been very supportive and easy to work with so far - and have always sent replacement parts as needed. Wife and I had a 70 mile scooter adventure last weekend, and we both loved it! Attachments:
