2011 150cc Icebear scooter Questions By silverbullet (Read 643 times)

My son in  law is interested this scooter 2011 150cc "ICEBEAR Brand Motorcycle, imported by HAILI ICEBEAR MFG"
The info in quotes is from the builders plate. The guy that has the scooter doesn't know much about. He thought it was 200cc. He ran over a ground hog, wrecked and parked the scooter. It isn't running, but a friend of his looked at it and said a wire along the bottom side is loose or came disconnected. He was asking $500.00 for it, then lowered it to $350.00. My questions are:
1. Is this a good brand of scooter?
2. What would be a fair price for this if it were running?
3. Son in law is a big guy, would this power full enough?
4. what king of drive would it have?
5. Do they use the Honda & Yamaha clone engines?
We'll start with these to see if it is worth going to look at
Thanks to all who reply

That's about all the info we have without going to look at it
I was thinking that it might be to small for my son in law, but was considering buying it then try to resell it if it would be worth it.
Thanks for the reply

It just you common everyday chinese scooter, probably has the 157qmj motor in it. If your not mechanically inclined I would pass on it since he wrecked it. I am sure there is more to the problem than a wire is hanging. He would not have left it after the wreck and not tried to fix it.

If you do go and see it first thing is check the compression, take the plug out and stick your finger in the hole nice and snug hold the throttle wide open and crank it. If it LIFTS your finger off the hole then it has descent compression if you just feel some pressure on your finger it does not have good compression. If it at least cranks over with the electric start and the compression is good. Then you have to worry if the frame was bent. So really buying one like that you really have to be careful, espically if he went down to 350 that is a red flag he is willing to get anything for it because he already knows what is wrong with it.
