Lifan scooter aye? ah well.....


Parts are cheap for the engines, cheaper for the peripheral parts and dirt cheap for maintenance parts.
Go slightly faster parts are on trademe by the bucket load (digger version of "bucket" not the bike racing version)
The part you should check the most is the frame, look for any cracks in the welds and the frame pipes they have been known to let go. (cheap shyt steel)

Yep,definitely check the frame!!

I had my frame checked out by a mechanic,even though it was new,I didn't feel safe riding it until I knew the frame wasn't going to crack while on the move.
