Today in 2022 , you would now be a grown adult. And perhaps you still kept your scooter. Looking to buy a new scooter to run errands. Thank you. Looking at many scooter reviews.
Yeah, if you think your going to fast, it stops you from going faster, actually a very smart idea, even if you know it's wrong. Same as setting you car clock 15min fast, which my grandfather and boyfriend do.
you don't need to have your carb that high...you can adjust it so it barely keeps the bike on - thanks for the review the rod holders sound like a cool idea
Great review. Have you replaced the spark plug? That might be causing that engine sound. I have to replace my plug about every 500 to 1000 miles. They burn out in scootesr. ...right the idle is set a little high?
id say to check your valve clearences due to the noise and you saying the performance was worse but it looks a great bike i have one very similar and i only get 18 uphills so id say it is nothing much to worry about
How much does it cost??? I'm turning 14 and where I live you get to drive a scooter. So I want a scooter like that and I just wanted to know where did you get it and how much does it cost???
Mark Most lol based on what reading? My well tuned, 72cc with unrestricted intake and 95 jet can do 45-50.. the speedo is pretty accurate up to 30mph but get inaccurate pretty fast after that. It did about the same stock but gets there much faster now.. you won't gain much more without tranny mods.
Yes, he has a license plate so I’d assume he has it registered through the DMV. You can drive them on the road so long as you have a license or moped permit, depends on the state.
That idle tho holy crap, I have a 2016 Vespa Primavera 150 and the back wheel will spin a bit on idling very slow however its normal. That idling speed sounds like it'll cause a seize! Buy a name brand scooter you can get a Honda metro or yamaha bws for cheap people and they are work horses
Don't keep your owners manual/registration on your moped, keep it somewhere else safe. If someone steals your moped and they get those from you they legally 'own' it now.
Yea you need the registration and owners manual on your vehicle,(not so much owners manual) but the title is keep at home. If you get pulled over and your registration isn’t with you then good luck😂
@@tylercharles4290 apparently that's not a big deal. Mine was stolen a year ago, and apparently they have never been pulled over on it or tried to get a new tag, or anthing. I still have the title and all the keys.
Why buy a name brand? A Honda 50cc scooter goes for around 2k, while this Tao Tao goes for around 750. I could almost buy 3 of the Tao Tao for what the Honda costs (and the Honda price doesn't include tax, the Tao Tao price does). .If you are going to pay 2k for two wheels, you might as well just get a nice used motorcycle.
Remy Lebeau amen brotha. Tao Tao is meant to be a cheap scooter. I’m getting one soon bcuz my trans went out on my car and I can’t afford a car now. I’ll use the moped to get around to better jobs where I can make enough to afford a car again
I guess your about 22 now and driving a car or a motorcycle.
I ordered one for my community I live in. Thank you for Los Angeles California.
holy shit that idle speed is waaaaayyy to high
do you still occasionally ride this for fun or do you solely use your car?
i just went across a rail road train n my back part slide but Whats the best kind of gas to use but nines blue

I’m 23 now and I ride an FZ09! Never forget your roots 🥲
I'm 32 and just got a 50cc Chinese scooter. I've owned tons of cars but never a motorcycle/scooter. I'm p excited
This Moped is like popular and also 2014 was such a great year, I miss it.
SCOOTER BROTHER!
GTA 5
I noticed that you have a tag for your state. Are you required to have a tag for a 49cc?
All bikes have inflated speedo numbers, including motorcycles.
It apparently saves lives

@@demonheart13 So if I think I'm going to be late I drive faster. Setting the clock 15 minutes fast would make things worse.
what's that wing on the back of your tao tao scooter?
Georgie Melendez it’s wear a storage container would go
More like a spoiler lol.
where did you get your wing in ur scooter
you don't need to have your carb that high...you can adjust it so it barely keeps the bike on - thanks for the review the rod holders sound like a cool idea
Hi do you still have your scooter . I live in so Florida , no hills and good weather I just brought a Tao Tao 50cc
Great review. Have you replaced the spark plug? That might be causing that engine sound. I have to replace my plug about every 500 to 1000 miles. They burn out in scootesr. ...right the idle is set a little high?
I dont have a car and i cant afford insurance so im going the 50cc rout! Im just wandering how far with a full tank can you get with this?
madamadam158 it can get you problay up to 80-90 miles
How fast do you find it going on flat ground?
id say to check your valve clearences due to the noise and you saying the performance was worse but it looks a great bike i have one very similar and i only get 18 uphills so id say it is nothing much to worry about
Just wondering man....Do you still have your scooter?
How fast will it go on a flat road cuz I live on a maximum 55 kmh road SOOO
What about Driver license?
I have the same one. Is it true about mixing some oil with gasoline? In the gasoline tank?
Carlos E you mix oil with gas ONLY if it is a 2 stroke engine. Most of these scooters are 4 stroke. Gas in the gas tank only!
are you from angry Grandpa
What's going on you guys, kid behind a camera here!
Justin Galligan rip
what's the gas cap on this scooter?
what are the 2 cylinders held at the rear of the scooter in place of luggage trunk?
Those are actually a project my dad and I did! They are fishing rod racks so I can go fishing at local ponds.
+brown guy lol i thought it was a bong holder
I hear you can get 45-50 if you put a certain gas in it is that true
Remove RPM limiter...up carb...tweak...You can definitely upgrade your 50cc for better acceleration/speed
Premium gas is recommended
your taotao scooter 2014 or 2015 ?
How much does it cost??? I'm turning 14 and where I live you get to drive a scooter. So I want a scooter like that and I just wanted to know where did you get it and how much does it cost???
Craigslist or just look up Taotao atm50-a1 in (Your State)
around 600.00
Where did you bought it plz respond.
He said Craigslist in a different video
Do you have any idea in MD how old are you and you can drive it
Mike Tyson Here in Ohio you can get your moped license at age 14. It's only good for Mopeds and motorized bicycles though.
Does this scooter use the gy6 engine? I’m looking for a bb kit
It is not a direct gy6 as the gy6 is a honda engine however this IS a gy6 variant
I just bought one but can I ride in the city? Do i need a drivers license
Did u have any issues riding without one so far?
i have one of these and love it. I got a windshield(generic,@38 bucks)set online and now it goes faster.
Jonathan Kover really how
The speedometer is very optimistic on these. They top out about 37-40 mph
Jessa Phillips fact. all you do is add $0.50 of midgrain unleaded plus regular $1.00 and it and make 56mph
@@MOA0831 you wish
Winnerwinds I got a blue one, and two Yamaha vino classic, they're faster with a pinch of midgrain

James Eden I told'cho .50 extra unless, 1.00 regular unlead
You need to set your idle lower, That is why your tire spins right when you start it.
Amen
How did you convience your parents
Chris stambelos you don’t need to ask your parents
Zkittles Hahahaha in Greece you have cauze if you don’t have an Id u can’t buy anything
Chris stambelos wow

♛ Huffdaddy™ it's a fishing pole holder he's dad made
Joseph Atnip fishing pole holder

Ty L if you find out let me know too.
Auto Will look for used ones that way you save on shipping
Ty L facebook sites
How can i make those rod holders, i need those lol.
Can you ride it on the street
Yes, he has a license plate so I’d assume he has it registered through the DMV. You can drive them on the road so long as you have a license or moped permit, depends on the state.
In Indiana you only have to be 15 and have at least an identification card or permit
Zachary Ray you don't need plates?
Adam James yes you do there was a new law put in a couple years ago.
Alaska you got to be 14 but i just take my fourwheeler or mini bike
it looks so cool i think im doing something like that.
I have a Honda Navi which is a motorcycle - scooter hybrid. It's basically the Grom of India :) I've gotten 136 mpg :)
my god that idle speed... you don't even need the throttle..
I think you did over 10,000km
I'm planning on buying a 150cc for $1000 I like mopeds
to run out a buy weed, its ok u can say weed. lol
lmfao

do motovlogs
change the muffler to race muffler
and turn your idle speed down!
WTF FOR 700 E U CAN BUY A BIKE WITH VERTICAL TAKE OF. AND 2 JET ENGINES IN THE BACK.
Speed test
Jesus Christ, your idle is wide open throttle!
I am one year away from being able to get one
That scooter hold 24oz of oil
At your age, everything you drive should put a LOT of steel and several air bags around your body.
well, what fun is that?
wholeNwon what does his age have to do with anything?
***** The fatal auto accident rates for young males is highest of all groups.
***** saftey
wholeNwon that could be based on the stupid decisions that male teens make. If you're smart then you'll be aware and not make stupid decisions.
I owned Several
45 50 MPH ? lol you mean KPH
November 5th is my bday. Lol

@@adamcaretta9484 most states dont require registration for mopeds. Just cars and occasionally motorcycles.
10 bucks for a filter I can get a 10 pack for a dollar 99
Nice ha ha
1000 km isnt enough for that to show it s true colors. Looked at one yesterday, and it was like a plastic toy. horribly made. Buy a name brand.
