The FAST Gas Scooter Model XG-550 (Includes EPA Certified Gas Engine) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Before you buy take note that this does not come with a seat, if you want a seat it will cost you another $40. I had bought this simply because for the seat and price. But when it was delivered to my house there was no seat, and some vital screws were missing. After emailing this seller they made me aware that of course there is a seat..at an extra $40 and another week or two for delivery but they had said nothing about the screws and nuts missing from the tire and brakes, so luckily I have a fully running 45cc GroundHog (Tops off at 42MPH) from 2002 and managed to use extra parts from it.
The XG-550 is at the top of their line which isn't much to be said. I followed the manual for set-up and use instructions before going on a ride. At 1/4th throttle the engine makes noise but goes no where, at 1/2 throttle it makes more noise and you might get a couple MPH if your light enough but at full throttle I got a whole 10MPH I will continue breaking this in but more than likely it will be used to scare cats away in the neighborhood.

I've been using this for a few months now off and on, and so far, the welds holding the frame together broke while going down the street. The Frame broke in half. The bolts mounting the parts to the frame, the gas tank, brakes, chrome trim, twist hand throttle, deck, and exhaust have either just fallen off, flew off, or broke. Honestly I must say this is the worst purchase of my life.
Every day or two I would make sure everything was tightened down due to all the pieces falling off the Ped, and onto the neighbors' yard, but they still found away to fall. Also the bolts, screws, and metal they use for this are weak, and have a habit to break on there own. It should be a crime to sell a product that rapidly falls apart while riding, and for the price, you can buy a used one, and a can of WD-40, and you have have a better product. \
I've had a 2002 Blue Bird Engine 45cc (Stock GroundHog) for 9years, still running strong, nothing has broken off, and it cost me half the price I paid for this inferior product by " X-Treme Scooters)I Would absolutley not reccomend this for children due to the spotty "craftsmanship"
