Hello from Long Island NY (future Tao Tao owner)

[prostangracing]

Hey what's up everyone! My name is Tom and I'm from Long Island, NY. After not owning a scooter in about 16 years (1985 Honda Spree), A friend and I have decided to get back into scooters and gonna buy a new Tao Tao ATM50A1. From what I have read they seem to be a pretty good bang for the buck. Since I'm new to the whole GY6 stuff I'm looking to learn more about them such as what exactly the engine is on the Tao Tao and what performance stuff can be done to it. I'm like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor I don't like leaving anything stock. Hope to learn allot from everyone !

Hi Tom
Welcome aboard
Pleased to meet you
Thats wonderful news, getting back into scoots
Give her a full pdi when you receive her, as that will give her a great lease on a long worry free life

This manual will help get you familiar with her parts, routine maintenance and repairs

And this one will help with driving and safety tips

Be sure to wear protective riding gear at all times, ride as if other motorists dont see you, always be fully aware of your surroundings, and try to have a backup plan in case things go south
Take care and drive safely
Yours Hank

Good luck Tom and have fun,
