It looks like a Chinese scoot with a American name on it. Maybe assembled here but with Chinese parts. Its too cheap in price to be a quality scoot.

Are price and quality always that closely related?

Considering our Aero 50's cost $650.00 + new in 86/87...... then the answer is YES. Something has gotta give them that low of a price. Its either cheap parts or cheap labor.

Or both, which is most likely.

After a closer look at the PDF on the bottom of the link .... YES , they are Chinese scoots. The other one thats pictured in the PDF is being sold all over EBay for around $600.00 . For that $600.00 price you are getting a 150cc's too not 49cc's! Your even getting free shipping with the Ebay one I have listed. There is a link at the bottom. What these places do is have these scoots drop shipped to their store where they put the front tire on and de-crate it. Then test it and slap their name on it .
