TAO TAO 50CC SERIES

Chinese scooters are carbureted, probably less reliable and rarely come with much dealer support. For that you get fuel injection, high reliability and an extensive dealer network. A 50cc Honda will cost you about $2500 and a 150cc will cost you about $3600. A 50cc TaoTao might be in the $600-$800 range while a 150cc might be in the $800-$1000 range. I suspect that if you pulled off all the bodywork all the models of the same capacity (50 or 150) be the same.Īs with all Chinese scooters, when you buy a TaoTao you're not buying a Honda in terms of quality and support - However you aren't paying Honda prices either. The individual modes vary mostly in body shape and color rather than differences in components and construction. Through they make quite a few models, they basically break down into 50cc and 150cc scooters.

From some legal documents I found, it seem seems that obtain their scooters, ATVs and other vehicles from Taotao Group Co., Ltd., and Jinyun County Xiangyuan Industry Co., Ltd. Well, it appears that TaoTao USA is a importer/distributor based in Carrollton Texas. While some brands actually naufacture their own scooters, others get their scooters from one of a number of manufacturing companies and add they own branding via logos and small cosmetic features. Two questions come to mind - Who are they and are their scooters any good?Įven with the internet it's often difficult to track down exactly who is behind the brand names of many chinese scooters. When looking at inexpensive Chinese scooters TaoTao is a brand you often see.
