If this is the scoot you are refering too.  Here is the Qlink site. www.qlinkmotor.com/product.php?id=45I have been looking at this one myself... my girlfriend is short.. and most of the scoots we have tried are too tall... this one has a nice seat and allows her to sit comfortably, and with feet flat, and legs bent... I was told by my local dealer in Cincinnati Ohio that just about every nut and bolt is interchangable with the Honda Helix... so parts can be had by Honda, or Chinese suppliers. The storage was less than I expected.. nothing under the seat (except the engine..valve adjust can be done in 5min) , and the box on the back is smaller than it looks in the pics ... and the little trunck behind the seat area has the radio in it  Lastly... it is very 80's looking... But the plus side is Honda has been making this since the 80's.. I can tell you the seat on this scoot is SUPER comfortable.. both for rider, and passenger.  It also has a digital display... which is kinda cool  My other real issue is the price... at $2400-2900.. there are better looking scoots... (Bandit has a nice 260cc scoot) That has the Linhai 260cc engine. used in the Yamaha scoots for $2500  www.bandit-motorsports.com/scooters/uc-250z.htmlShe and I are still trying to figure out what type of scoot we want... smaller.. to get around town.. or bigger to take trips on also. We may end up getting a smaller 150 scoot.. and I will sell my crotch rocket bike.. and get a bigger bike to take trips on together. Hope that helps... if you live in the cincy area... Ray Pope is a great guy.. and has lots in stock... plus can order anything. Here is his site. cycle-analyst.com/index.htmHope that helps. Ken |

Bandit also offers the Helix clone although he doesn't list it. Priced less than the UC-250 Call Jim and see if they are in yet, and get his opinion between the two.
