I have a Jonway madness yy125 that's a 15 plate. Now the bike has broken 3 times and I've had it 6months, first the frame under the exhaust shaped clean of while riding sorted the problem for now but probably won't pass it's Mot in 3years. Secondly the exhaust pipe snapped so I had to buy a new exhaust now it sounds like a tank!! And now the drive belt has snapped wicth I'm Gunna have to fix. So my advice is not to buy these Chinese bikes because they fall apart every time you ride it and to save up to get a better named bike. If anyone knows what I can't do think it's still under warranty but every time I call motorbike madness they never answer or Say send them pictures of the bike to there email address wicth I can't seem to find

I have owned my Jonway Madness 50cc yy50qt-28 scooter for around 3 years, I bought it when I was 17 because car insurance was just too expensive. It was only a year old when I bought it and it was in pretty good condition with only a few scuffs. I got a pretty good deal on it as it was near to me and came with all the extras; helmet, gloves, jacket, cover. For the first 6 months I had no issues with it, however even from day one it was never a high performance vehicle. The first problem I had was when the throttle cable snapped, while I was on a busy roundabout so things could have been bad! Although I knew what the problem was so it was pretty easy to fix by just buying a new cable. I also had a problem with the latch on the seat, it broke so that it would not lock. I fixed it by adding a piece of metal next to the pin to keep it from moving, on ebay I have seen people selling this type of scooter before with this problem so I think it's just another design problem. I also had another problem with the scooter being intermittent after the carb became loose which was very frustrating as it became undrivable and I had to push it 2 miles to my house. I also had an issue with the drive belt, it snapped while on my way home but again the problem was easy to diagnose and this happens with most vehicles with age. I also had an issue with the spark plug with failed and left me stranded but this was easy to fix. The battery also failed quicker than I expected but I didn't really think it was worth replacing as it only meant that the electric start wouldn't work but the kick start did the job fine. However the most frustrating issue I have ever had with it was when the rollers had flat spots on them and the variator failed. This happened gradually but left the moped almost undrivable because the drive ratio was constantly wrong. So when you stopped at a roundabout for example, when pulling away it was like being stuck in 4th gear and I had to resort to pushing it with my feet to pick up speed. It also wouldn't go down a 'gear' easily so when going up a hill it wouldn't lower the gear ratio and it went so slowly I could barely get above 15mph and had to rock backwards and forwards at time to gain momentum! The good things about this scooter is basically because it's cheap. If you buy one new they cost around £700 or you can pick up a used one for around £400. The insurance is pretty good too, it only cost me £130 a year and tax is only £15 a year. It's also good on petrol too, it's a 4 stroke so you don't need to worry about 2 stroke oil. I used to use premium unleaded and it only cost me £5 to fill up so it's good on money. However I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one of these or for that matter any chinese moped. The problem is that they are badly designed and cheap. Even when it was performing fine my friends who had 2 stroke scooters like yamahas or aprilias could go faster and had much better acceleration. If you look at one of these chinese scooters you can easily notice how they are designed badly, for example all the screws just screw directly into the plastic mould instead of having a nut and bolt. So it can crack the plastic and also all the screws rust easy and it can be hard to replace them. It is also harder to get parts for, there are many performance parts around for other makes but the chinese scooters can be quite difficult to buy for. They look appealing because of the price however you get what you pay for. You are far more better off just spending a bit extra on a better scooter. So DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE!
