   I own a KYMCO people 150 but I really like the Pegasus150 made by Qlink it is the best bike for the money

   There are a lot of scooters out there that are of questionable quality. In general, try to stick to your more reputable brands, and always buy from a dealer who specializes in scooters or who sells both scooters and motorcycles.

   Ask yourself a few questions:

   1) Does the warranty cover parts and labor?
   2) Is there a dealer nearby who can provide service if needed?
   3) How long has the dealer been in business?
   4) How many dealers are selling the same brand in your area?

   A few of the more reputable brands in scooters are listed below:

   Aprilia
   Bajaj
   Genuine
   Honda
   Kymco
   Piaggio
   Suzuki
   Vespa
   Yamaha

   Of those, many make a 150cc size scooter. I’ve heard many good things about the Genuine Blur and Kymco People 150. If you want to look at a 125cc scooter, I personally own a Yamaha Vino 125 and love it.

   Keep in mind that in most states in the US, the 150cc size will require you to obtain a motorcycle license in order to legally ride.

   The Vino 125 and Yamaha Zuma 125 are two great scooters and do require motorcycle license and cost around 2-3 thousand if not more. In 2009 there will be a lot more better chinese scooters out there. We just got back from China and will offer several from a new factory and will price below 2 grand delivered ready to ride from scootertronics, we will have a 150 we will push that we think will be best out there check scootertronics in next two weeks for this new 150 scooter.

   The Genuine Blur is also a great machine and like all scooters has many upgrades as well as the Yamaha Vino and Zuma and scootertronics carries high performance parts for both

   There are a lot of very good brands available. Some you might not ever heard of.

   If you care about quality (and your life), don’t buy off the internet. Your best bet is to do your research, Some might be too small (or too big) for you, or just might not be a good fit. You won’t know this until you actually see them in person. Drive around to all the dealers, sit on them, kick the tires, if they let you, take a test ride.

   I have been posting about Scooters from quite a long time and have posted about plenty of scooters, If you ask me I would suggest you to go for Kymco People S200.
