TAO TAO reviews

Love it. Was nervous after seeing all the reviews about Chinese scooters were negative, but the few positive ones there were convinced me to try it out. I mean, you can't beat the price. Yes I looked at brand name scooters used, still higher priced. Since I am mechanically inclined, I went ahead and purchased a lancer. It came with very little assembly needed, which was simple and easy. Whenever the bike and tightened up all electrical connections and screws bolts etc, changed out the motor and gear oil, all the stuff you should be doing. What can I say? This thing easily keeps up with traffic, doesn't lose any speed at all up hills, and we've put hundreds of miles on it already in just a couple of months. It's not like we baby it, this thing has been used off-road as well. I do plan to replace the spark plugs ignition coil air filter and carburetor of course, just haven't needed to LOL! Probably change out the variator just to see if we can get it to go even faster, that has no problem hitting 60 which is as fast as I've gone, because I only weigh a hundred pounds, and the wind about wants to knock me off the thing lol! So windshield is on the list as well. If you are not mechanically inclined and don't know what you're doing at all? Probably not the option for you. But if you have a pretty good idea, you don't need to be a genius, then I would recommend the lancer. It's a model that's been around for a long time. Happy riding!

The TAO TAO TBR7 was a great entry level motorcycle and anyone can enjoy it. Yes there are quite a few things that could be improved on but overall the bike rides well and is comfortable. I loved owning it and would recommend it to anyone. If you maintain it the bike will last a long time. I only sold it because I got a 2022 Yamaha YZ450FX.
