Bought this scooter 2years ago 2nd hand, just 6 months old. Since then have had 5 drive belt .a spark plugs 4 Speedo cables a new clutch. Then had further drive problems so as a last ditch attempt I replaced aviator belt & clutch. At long last fingers crossed I have a reliable Bike. My advise unless you have a good degree of nous & tools don't go near these bikes just a bit of advice replace the spark plug for a branded I me, the one supplied are Chinese & mine was set at .012 should be. 06

I bought my scout about a year and a half ago and it was about a year old when I bought it , it cost me £450 which was quite a good price. I had it sitting in my garage in for a month until I got my licence, the first week I started using it the tyre valves perished when I tried to pump the tyres up, that cost £10 to fix , another week later the piston cylinder broke due to there being no oil in the engine even though I topped it up the day before, That was another £80 then the fuel tank started to leak which caused a small fire while I was riding, then the exaust fell off while I was riding that made me crash, then the other day all the electrics died so I cant uses the lights or electric start. apart from all that the fuel economy is great and it is quite quick for a 50cc but you would be better off getting the similar yet significantly better Peugeot v-clic
