Chituma (Hongdou) Comutta Scooter 49

my girl frend droped the Chituma (Hongdou) Comutta Scooter and damaged the plastics i cant get any so the scooter is in the shed with 50 miles on the clock and is just a pile of scrap dont buy a scooter like this thay may be cheap but a waste of cash. i got mine on ebay its not a good buy

1 year old

2k mileage

oil barely needed changing, think I added it 3 or so times last year, petrol barely gets used so lasts a few weeks even with constant use. Shows what gear you are in- good for learners.

This Chituma (Hongdou) was poorly made, bits literally used to fall off it until eventually it wouldn't start at all. Don't even think of trying to get parts for one of these Chinese things. I found out the hard way that you couldn't even get mine mot'd never mind serviced! At first this bike was ok, I got it off Ebay (BIG mistake) everything was fine for a few weeks, then the fuel line dropped out of the carb overnight. The electrics failed and it wouldn't even kick start up (when I had fixed the fuel line). My advice to you is, get a Chinese scooter for £500 on the road (brand new, belive me it's do-able) out of bike trader, keep it for 2 years or so and then get rid of it or sell it for spares (like I did). Or failing that, go to a dealer and sign up for a decent official bike, I've just signed for a new Gilera Runner, it comes with 2 years warranty and it's built for UK roads. Oh and DON'T buy a bike off EBAY.
