2007 Genuine reviews

Smooth running, excellent warranty and roadside assistance plan. Great quality and well worth the few hundred more than a Chinese equivalent! I started with a VIP Taotao 49/50cc, ALWAYS had some kind of trouble..Everything you can imagine, almost constantly for the 2.5 yrs. of owning it. This little bike is amazing, and no offense, but ESPECIALLY being from anywhere near China. I pray China loses what grasp of the island it has. They have come a long way and deserve every opportunity afforded them. ~ AMEN Show less

My wife and I purchased this scooter in the spring of 2007 and it's been a gem for what it is. Its main use is commuting to work and a stop home over lunch (5 miles round trip). Easy starting and quick warm up with good fueling make for a really nice ride. It's also got big top end for a little thing as we've seen upward of an indicated 75mph at times. 45-50 mph is easy on it and it doesn't feel out of its element. I'm a motorcycle guy and until my wife wanted this I'd never have given a scooter a second thought. Now that my wife's commute is 15 miles of interstate I've been using the Buddy this spring and have been loving it. It shares parking with a green Italia 150cc version and a pink Buddy 125 at work. Two big thumbs up for the Buddy 125. Show less

I just bought my scooter to save money on gas and I must say that I am really impressed with it. Initially I was hesitant because I thought with my weight it would not take me up steep hills, but to my surprise it handled them perfectly. 70 mpg average and it is really fast bone stock! Some of the streets I ride on are 45 mph roads (which means cars drive 50 on them!) and it can keep up with them, but I plan on getting a pipe for it because the stock seems really restricted. Other than that it runs great! Show less
