Hope you enjoy it. Check all your nuts and bolts and tighten them up. Also check where the exhaust connects to the engine. Mine was missing the nuts on it. The bolts were there though.
got it like a month ago and mine is already at 1.6k so far running smooth, had the same exhaust issue smelled burning and sounded terrible got it checked out the guy put the nuts and bolts on it charged me $5 more like a tip tbh
I bought an used 50cc Chinese scooter in the past (about 15 years ago) and one of the things I did at the time was replace all fasteners and used some locktite for the exhaust and lock washers on many parts at the time as well so they wouldn't vibrate loose, the previous owner mentioned them vibrating off but I noticed he didn't take the precaution I did and will if I ever buy another Chinese bike again. Btw it held up very well but the plastic body panels didn't, still it was one of the best $300 investments I made at the time as I had the thing for 5+ years putting about 20k miles on it as a daily driver for work at the time during good weather.
Thanks for the updated review for your scooter. Not a lot of long term reviews on these yet and I’ve been thinking about getting one. How’s the distance between your knees and the handlebars? I’m 6’1 and my last concern before I commit is how cramped I’d be on it.
I’m 5’9” and I sit halfway back on the passenger seat. If I sat where I’m suppose to, I feel cramped but still have room between my knees and handlebars. Not sure how it would work for 6’1” though.
What do you think about everything on the back being non-reflective? I have one and the side bags and the top luggage are non-reflective there's nothing reflective on the back of that bike for anybody to see you. Not to mention the brake light is weak very weak. I've ordered lots of reflective tape. And I got a break free light for my helmet. That should help.
The side boxes and trunk do have reflective plastic on them. This setup here during the day is ok. I DoorDash at night so my delivery bag is highly reflective. I have never ridden at night with just the rack only.
Perhaps you could mount a camera aiming at your rear tire and drive over some bumps, and see if you capture what's going on with that noise you hear ? Glad you're enjoying your ride, thanks for sharing n' God bless
I do have a 360 camera that I could put down there and see what’s going on. I can stand up and sit down hard to make that scraping sound. I just can’t figure out where it’s coming from 🤔
got my deluxe coming from Arlington on Monday. I ordered “assembled” too. What did u have to do besides attach mirrors and add gas? Did u have to add oil, put in spark plugs etc? Or was it ready to roll after mirrors and gas?
Just the mirrors, trunk, side luggage boxes, and gas. I did the first engine oil and gear oil change at 300 miles as recommended. I did the engine oil again at 500 miles because I’m gonna do it every 500 miles after that and the gear oil every 1k miles.
Thanks for the review. I look forward to watching the 2000 mile review. I've got to search Amazon for the rear rack of your scooter. I was thinking about using one of my oven racks when I get my scooter, but I'm not sure if it can handle 50 or 60 lbs of weight, it might bend. When you say the top speed is 55 mph, is that GPS verified?
How are you doing? My name is Hollywood. I just bought the same type of scooter for My Wife for Christmas, but I can’t get the dashboard to read the miles. How do you play with the Dashboard so as you can see how many miles you going per hour?
@@blakelee-j5s I got it in Feb and didn’t start dashing with it til around end of June but just going by scooter earnings, it took about two months to make what I paid for the scooter.
Do you know what the difference is between the tank pro and the tank deluxe? I cant seem to find any information im trying to decide which one to get the pro or the deluxe. The pro looks like the normal one idk what the pro stands for and the deluxe has the extra storage.
They may have just changed the name of the standard. I believe they upgraded the standard tires to 13 inch. It use to be 12 inch tires. Maybe they still have a standard version with the 12 inch tires, pro would be 13 inch, and then deluxe with 13 inch tires and the added storage.
I just bought the pro version, I noticed the lights are different in the front from the deluxe version. There are extra lights on the pro version as well as 13 inch tires, but however, the deluxe comes with the luggage. The pro version does not. I was wanting to ask, if anyone might know how to change the bulbs in the front signal lights. They are red and that’s not legal here in Missouri and from what I can tell, there’s no screw to take those bugs out of the front signal lights.
Ah ok, I see what you mean now. I forgot they made another version. Did you try taking the front top panel off and looking inside for screws behind the lights?
@@TheOutdoorExperience There is a hole in the back of the blinker housing but even that covered with plastic and can’t see a screw to remove it. It’s crazy. Today I’m going to call power sports and ask them. If I find out how to change them I will let you know
Got this exact moped I have a question did you figure out the rubbing issue I just bought one second hand with only 500miles and everytime a hit a bump there’s like a metal sound (kack) sounds like it’s scraping the floor but I have checked and there’s not a single scratch and when I stand up and sit back down it does it again there’s like something hitting and sometimes I hear the plastic rubbing too
@@David168-23 I thought it was the skid plate too at first but no scratches. I haven’t gotten around to figuring it out yet. I’m really wondering if it’s the rear fender. There is a bar under where the trunk goes and I’m wondering if it’s hitting the fender into the tire on dips.
Mine are red but they do not reflect. I shine a flashlight on the back of my bike at night a very bright flashlight at that can I get no reflection back at all. none of the red plastic is reflective. Could you please take a picture of your bike at night and post?
@@TheOutdoorExperience I have the same scooter and was wondering. I couldn't find it in the owners manual. Just wanted to know. Going for my driving test tomorrow with this.
Hum, interesting, but not trouble free. Perhaps a used name brand bike might be the way to go. Parts and service available all over. Something to be said for that.
I DoorDash a lot so I just keep this setup with the rack and my delivery bag on. If I wanted to, I could still get the side boxes on without taking the rack off. I also rigged up the trunk base to be able to bolt on top of the rack so I can use the trunk too. Main thing is that the rack stays on because I got it in the perfect spot lol.
What's the top speed on this? I just ordered one. I'm waiting for it to be shipped to me. I got the army green. I've never bought a scooter before. I hope this was a good choice?
Love the review. Thanks for sharing my picture. I will try to make a video of me trying to replace the plastic cover. It comes in today.
did you get your scooter? working well and no problems?
@@brianwillis1577 I get it today
I ordered the army green. It arrives this Tuesday. Very excited. Thanks for another great vid.
Hope you enjoy it. Check all your nuts and bolts and tighten them up. Also check where the exhaust connects to the engine. Mine was missing the nuts on it. The bolts were there though.
Where you order from ? And can u get upgrades or replacement parts??

Good to hear from you again.
Thanks for the review. I've been thinking about a tank be abuse my 2003 49cc rukus is getting old and slow lol.
Thanks for watching! I really like it myself. Just make sure you do a once over on all the nuts and bolts!

Hey, do you happen to know the cvt belt size on this? I have the frontier 200 version coming and want to change to a sturdier belt as soon as it comes
The bike came with a gates powerlink 835-20-30 belt.
@TheOutdoorExperience thank you!

Yes I did the same ordered mine built and it came off the truck ready to roll man. It started right up
Can you post a link to the rear rack attachment? Good vids
Yea here you go:

I tested it with a phone app. It seemed to be 1 off. The scooter would say 40 and the app would say 39. Same at other speeds.

Thanks.

Did you check the connection of wires under the front panel? My high beams were disconnected when I got mine.
Bought pegs seat isn't to comfortable but drives great so you have to have pegs is a must
Me and ny girl are thinkin about getting scoots to doordash do you know like how long it took u to make what u paid for the scooter around?
@@blakelee-j5s I got it in Feb and didn’t start dashing with it til around end of June but just going by scooter earnings, it took about two months to make what I paid for the scooter.
Thanks for another review. Curious as to how the fuel mileage is on it
Thanks for watching! I reset the trip every time I fill up and I’ve been getting around 85 miles a tank. I believe it’s a 1.3 gallon tank.
Hello what did you do to the speaker? Just disconnect it? I need to do the same!
Yea there is a wire that runs from the audio control buttons to the speaker under the front panel.
Do you know what the difference is between the tank pro and the tank deluxe? I cant seem to find any information im trying to decide which one to get the pro or the deluxe. The pro looks like the normal one idk what the pro stands for and the deluxe has the extra storage.

No but it would be a great feature to have.

Now that more of you guys are ordering these maybe you could post where u bought yours and how much. I’d appreciate it.
Arlingtonpowersport.com for $2300 shipped fully assembled.
Hum, interesting, but not trouble free. Perhaps a used name brand bike might be the way to go. Parts and service available all over. Something to be said for that.
I'll be honest, I've had more trouble with my car than I have with this scooter 😂
mine makes noise but stop after 997
I kept all my 3 boxes on. It look better with it in my opinion. I like my Bluetooth speakers on this scooter.
I DoorDash a lot so I just keep this setup with the rack and my delivery bag on. If I wanted to, I could still get the side boxes on without taking the rack off. I also rigged up the trunk base to be able to bolt on top of the rack so I can use the trunk too. Main thing is that the rack stays on because I got it in the perfect spot lol.
@@TheOutdoorExperience OK. How u liking the scooter so far. I just put 300 miles on mines. I like to listen to music when I ride.
So far great. I’m just about at 1500 miles and it’s still running strong.
What's the top speed on this? I just ordered one. I'm waiting for it to be shipped to me. I got the army green. I've never bought a scooter before. I hope this was a good choice?
Id just stick a rubber band on the kickstand
I thought this would hit at least 65.
I wish it did but I'm actually comfortable at 50-55 range lol.
How much do you weight?
189 last I checked lol
