I've been reading over the forums for the last few days, and I'm seriously thinking about trying to get the HI-BIRD 250cc Enduro for myself. In talking with my girlfriend, she's always wanted a scooter, and thought that maybe if I order me a HI-BIRD from there, that maybe she'd order a scooter.

The website currently only displays two different models, the LONGBO LB150T, and another 150cc Avenger. I figured the LONGBO would offer more comfort, but then again, I don't know a whole lot about scooters. She simply wants one to cruise around town on, and back and forth to work. For our longer trips, or those two-up, we have my full-dress Yamaha Venture. So long-range capability isn't really an issue.

Does anyone have any experience with any of them? From what I've read here, I'd have no hesitations ordering the HI-BIRD from there, as both it and VBike has been praised over and over here. However, I can't find anything about the scooters.

I guess I'd also like to know if parts would be available should something break, since she won't simply be able to take it to the local motorcycle dealer. We live in central Illinois, and we don't have any of these "alternative" dealers around.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Not real sure on the longbo scooters. I have heard bad and good about them. The scooter info is better at the scootdawg forum.

I do know that engine parts should be pretty easy to get since it is the common gy6 honda design.
