About 1/3 of the Wildfire bikes seemed to be relatively reliable, others never quit breaking. Without strong evidence of a shift in quality/support, I would be very wary about picking one up as they now have a pretty solid reputation as chinese junk.

1.) First off, look in a mirror (or your signature) and lets talk about junk.

2.) Of course Kymco are better scoots, they are 2.5-3 times the price.

3.) Its $650, you will get every penny out of it.

These are NOT made for someone that has ZERO knowledge on general repairs… let me rephrase, if you are a 40 year old women buying then you may want to stick to the $6,000 Suzuki/Yamaha scooters.

i.e. The U.S. gas eats right through the Chinese fuel lines. The first thing you half to do to prep. the thing is remove ALL rubber fuel lines and replace. Many dealerships don’t know this. Once you get the few bugs worked out they are great. They also use IDENTICAL GY6 motors as the Kymco does.
