I have read good things about this particular brand, but then with a used scooter, one never knows. 10" wheels on a 50cc scoot is the norm.

Got the model or a link to it? By looking at it we can look at it's specs and maybe even find some reviews on it?  JR |

I have an '07 Lifan, that was built to '06 spec. The engine itself has been very solid. Rubbers and plastics are suspect due to age at this point. If it's been well-kept, in good running condition, at a good price, and you're capable of some replacing of hoses & such, it might be an option. My opinion of Lifan in regards to a lot of other Chinese scoots is a bit higher. Lifan does make cars too, so that would seem to imply some manufacturing capability there. Whether it is or not is anyone's guess. So...a positive opinion on Lifan scoots of the same approximate age, but I'm with JR on this one: more details, please!  |

Do you have a picture of it there are several models of the 150 Lifan. With a picture of the what it looks like then we may be able to find some info on it.

Don't know how this will impact your potential need for parts, but I know that Lifan pulled out of the US market earlier this year.

Don't know where you get your information, American Lifan still seems to be in business... .americanlifan.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> .americanlifan.com/Most parts are generic GY6 except perhaps for a taller head which some Lifans have and a weird 2 bolt straight through valve cover...but both are available from aftermarket sources... Plastics body parts may be a problem but it is also a problem for most scooter a few years old...anyway no matter what the brand... |
