Hello all, like I said I'm new to scooting have yet to actuality buy a scooter but soon I will be. I've been looking online mostly at the Chinese ones still trying to choose but between the 150cc and the 250cc  I think I'd rather have a 250cc. I will be transporting a passenger from time to time whose has peripheral vision difficulties and can no longer drive and will be there transportation when possible. I guess they have trunks that have like backrest on them how secure is the mounting hardware like the luggage rack is that secured to  the frame at all its very hard to tell on the Mc-54b-250  is the luggage mount plastic?  

So I've been looking at the bigger type scooters like the Roketa MC-54b-250/MC-79-250  etc. I believe this scooter has the Yamaha clone 257cc engine not sure yet if its reliable or even easy to work on. I will be doing most of the hands on stuff myself like valve adjustments and oil changes any carb or CVT work when needed I guess my question is how easy is it to get parts for this engine/scooter I do see a lot of upgrades for gy6 online not sure if the is the same for this one though?? I will need a few sources to obtain parts from I know the dealers usually will sell you parts but usually not very cheap.

Don't have one but have been around the boards long enough to know the gy6 parts are really inexpensive ,, the ones for the bigger bikes not so much but they did make a ton of them do the parts are easy enough to get,, frequent oil changes and adjustments will keep it running s long time,, just watch the sales and buy consumables like oil tires belts before you need them so you get a good deal and have them on hand

So you have the cn250 which is the Honda clone (244cc I believe) will it accept the same helix parts or vise versa sounds as if this one is easier to work on too. There seems to be more then one name on these clones Cf250, cn250 ch250 the Honda version seems to be the most versatile when it comes to parts and availability. Most dealers don't really list which engine there' mc-54b is using thanks for the info.
