They're basically the same as the ATM50, only more expensive, and nicer shaped plastics.
Perhaps some minor upgrades in the headlights, and so on...
But aside from that, you can bet it has the same engine, and transmission, also the same top end as the ATM50's.
As far as price, they're only $90 more, zero shipping charges, impressive find!
12" alloy wheels...
Only the specs say it's max speed is 60kmh (37 MPH) and HP rating is 2.7 (3.3 for the ATM).
I'd understand it's a slightly larger and heavier scoot than the ATM50, thus takeoff and top speed may be lower.
But a drop of almost 20%, for the same engine, seems questionable...
More than likely, after the engine is broken in, and perhaps some restrictions are removed, the thing supposed to go at least 45MPH!

I did some pretty thorough research and nearly purchased the same scooter from the same website. However, in my state you are required to register/ tag it and I wouldn't get the paperwork to do so for 3-5 weeks AFTER it arrived. I was not comfortable having a brand new scooter as a sitting duck and not rideable for that long parked at my apartment complex. I later found the deal that I ultimately went with which is a Genuine Roughhouse 50 locally. Moral of the story... if you are required to register/tag it in your state keep in mind that most internet sellers send out paperwork much later than when it arrives. Those details about it the different specs from that ATM50 is new to me and interesting. And by the way... that price that you found is the lowest price you will find online as of like 1 month ago.

Yeah, I am really thinking of buying a new 4t scooter and love the bigger frame and body style on this scooter I do know this is a long case gy6 but what worries me the most is it of a lower grade or higher grade motor, i have order two other scoots from here the 649.00 ones and the quality was very sub par from other scooter i have dealt with

I looked at buying a 150cc Tao Tao online but the lack of service and risk of getting a POS stopped me from buying it. So instead I went all over my area and found a great deal and dealer. Yesterday I completed all the papework and handed over the cash for me new ride!! Unfortunately the weather here is horrible so she is still there and I'll go pick her up in a week or two. Until then I am shopping for a nice new trunk and other accessories. The scooter you are looking at is very sharp nice looking ride. Good luck and happy riding!

I just purchased my EVO150 from superiorpowersports.
Every bike I've ever ordered there, had only a couple bolts not mounted right (one had a nut in the side stand peg missing; the other had the exhaust bolts loose).
Overall I've been pretty happy with them.
On my new bike I had to pay $59 insurance. Though they claim that the company is paying for the insurance, it clearly states I need to pay the 59 (buyers guarantee).
No way to remove it from the price..
Then again, I got 30 days to arrange shipping the item back.
The only problem is,
how are you going to test the bike, when they send you the papers only 2 weeks after, and you still need to break in the engine?
By the time the bike is ready to be used, the 30 days have passed...
Lucky you can take pictures of missing parts, and send it to them. They are obliged to send you the parts, or arrange for transport for the item.
The only problem is that breaking down the item, putting it back in the cage, and then finding a way to get the cardboard around it takes a loooong time!

Good looking scooter reminds me of an Aprilia SR50 sorta . Larger wheels not only ride better but have more top end to boot
