a quick look at their site yielded this "review" from a customer-
"Extremely quick! The supercharger is amazing. Getting above 50 miles per gallon in town too.Thanks Scooters To You. -Eric L. from Kentucky."
this is BS as there is NO SUPERCHARGER OR INTER COOLER on any scooter for sale in the U.S. so, they either shill reviewed their own product without knowing what they really have (as a droppshipper they may have never even actually laid eyes on any of the bikes they advertise) or they convinced some sucker that he got a super charged bike and are posting an obviously inaccurate endorsement of their product.
businesses like this need to be burned down..............after their insurance is canceled of course.

They were probably just talking about the Xinguye 150 which has "Supercharge" in big letters on the side. I've seen other who call it by this name, as silly as that sounds!

no, theyre talking about this- www.scooterstoyou.com/bms260cc.htmsays right in the description that it is equiped with a super charger and intercooler "260CC Liquid Cooled Engine: The modern 4-stroke liquid cooled motor develops the maximum permitted power for a 260cc learner machine, however the manner in which it is delivered is unique as it is fitted with a supercharger and intercooler, providing a spectacular increase in power and torque" the specs list 7KW power = 20 hp? sorry 7KW = about 9.4HP they more than likely copied and pasted a description and have no clue as to what it really is.

lol. looks like a shiller, he changed the ads and removed all the references to the super charger and intercooler! lol. and it was done because of what i said here.
also he redid the math on the kw to hp conversion.
he even modified the customer review from what i quoted above- showing how reliable that info is.
then he registered at my site and tried to flame me, by saying that what i posted was not what was stated on his store site.....well duh- after he changed it! lol. good thing i had a record of the before and after.
so we did our research and now know that scooterstoyou.com isnt honest. at least i succeeded in getting a site to stop falsely advertising a product! lol.

This looks like another DIRTBAG drop-shipper that is trying to capitalize on the unsuspecting general public while hiding behind a webpage. All dealers like this care about is the money. Once they get your money....they are DONE with you. Forget after the sale service, parts and support. I know what I'm talking about. BMS is Boreem......and is about as scummy as SUNL, VIVA and Roketa. These scooters are imported from Chinese copy-cat factories that employ unskilled, low paid workers. Oh and I see they want $2599 for this 260cc scooter. Dude, you're throwing your money away.

Wow, nice work voodoo! Last night I looked at that link and there was no reference to supercharger etc., and I read it twice. I couldn't figure out what you were talking about. I was wondering if the guy read this forum and changed the link. Very professional! And changing the "customer's" feedback just takes the cake!
