so i got this scooter because i need a way to get around till i get a car. I'm not light,304 lbs, and this little 29cc motor scooter gets me around just fine. Go-Ped is THE BEST when it comes to scooters. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, i got this from amazon for less than $385, you can't get it for less than 450 everywhere else on the web. it's got a million aftermarket parts as well. i put a $65 exaust on it and a $12 air filter, so now i can get up any hill i want.ALL IN ALL, i love my Go-Ped and if your looking for a fun and easy way to get around this is the way to go.

The model that launched the motorized scooter trade more than 20 years ago, the Go-Ped Sport is a solid, no-frills gas scooter that's reliable and easy to maintain. The Sport features a heavy-duty, aircraft-quality steel frame that supports up to 400 pounds, along with a wide, low-riding platform that's smooth and stable. As a result, the scooter is ideal for teens and active adults who demand top quality at an affordable price.
The Sport is outfitted with a race-born GPL290 engine that's been reconfigured for _quieter operation and fuel economy, yet is still amazingly powerful in its small and lightweight package. The engine variation is created through its modified cylinder, which has smaller intake and exhaust ports, a nonadjustable carburetor, and an intake silencer. Add the features together and you get an engine that delivers smooth yet thrilling acceleration, great torque for climbing hills, and speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.
Other details include Go-Active rubber tires, a 26-mile range per tank, a reliable direct-friction drive system, a fuel tank capacity of 1 liter, a kickstand, caliper front brakes, and rear engine compression braking. The scooter--which offers handlebars that fold and lock for easy transport and storage--measures 34 by 42 by 13 inches (W x H x D) and carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and forks.

The Gas 2007 XG-499 (Includes 2007 EPA Certified Gas Engine) Review

This product is manufactured by "x-treme scooters." We ordered one and it arrived with numerous problems (poor packaging causing container damage during delivery, poorly worded and pictured assembly manual, loose parts in the bottom of the box, etc.). But the biggest problem was that it had at least two major manufacturing defects that rendered the scooter unusable and ultimately unsafe if operated. We immediately packaged it up and attempted to return it. The seller (Scooter Jones)disclaimed ANY responsibility. He referred us to the manufacturer. After repeated attempts to contact the manufacturer, they finally responded with their "warranty." They "warrant" parts for 30 days after delivery. They do not warrant the engine at all (not our problem - we never got to the point to start it). The parts they do warrant will be sent to the purchaser at the cost to the manufacturer ONCE during the warranty period. If they don't work or if you have further problems, the consumer has to pay for shipping. So far, we have waited 3 weeks and they have not even attempted to send us parts. It doesn't matter anyway, the parts that we need to make the scooter work require technical ability beyond my capability to remove and replace. Thus, the warranty is totally useless. Don't buy this scooter!!!
