I just got a screaming deal on a 150 Verona (aka Eaglecraft, aka Znen, etc) Sometimes I've seen it called a Heritage, a Vintage, ETC, you get the idea
It is going to be my little 500 dollar high gas price solution (well 600, because I needed a helmet)
I have been looking, dreaming and drooling, browsing craigslist etc for a scooter and I came upon this one. It was posted for 500, and I thought, well I'm gonna email on it and see what happens. First question was, is the registration current, and it was and as it happens the couple that owned it lived 4 blocks from my house +).
The scooter has 2900 chinese miles on the clock, and it's never been down, altho there is some yellow paint on the truck, probably from parking.... but it came off fingernail Polish remover.
Went over, checked it out, took it for a very short test drive (no helmet so I only went about 2 blocks) signed papers and rode it home (4 blocks with no traffic).... went to the cycle gear shop and got a helmet and then last night put about 50 miles on it.
My first impressions are, yes it's a chinese scoot so there is *some* cheesy fit issues but overall, it's head and shoulders above my budies Shenke 150de. (which I was gonna buy when he buys a bigger scoot)
I will be posting Youtube Video's shortly. All and all I'm very happy with my purchase....

Congratulations! Seems like you're really enjoying your scoot! I'm in the great state of California as well, with a Titan 250 ( Znen makes some nice stuff ) Just remember to do a pdi regardless, so your miles remain trouble free. x1scooters.com/pdi.html

Znen does make some nice stuff. Both my Lance GS-R 150 and Bandit UC-250Z are Znen machines.
