The Znen bikes are pretty venerable as far as the Chinese scooters go. Several brands distribute them under their own brand names, such as Amigo. SSR and BMS used to sell a whole bunch almost model for model. It seems like both have lessened their reliance on the scooter industry to carry them nowadays. There was an epic ride from San Francisco to New York City detailed in a thread on AdvRider. 'Scooters across America' (or something like that); the dad was on a brand-new Skyteam 125cc CT70 replica (that was coincidentally re-branded by SSR when they sold the Honda trailbike replicas), and the son was on a 150cc BMS (Znen) scooter they found used in the Bay Area for $150. It wouldn't start as it had been sitting a long time, and then the key broke off in the ignition, so as the pair walked away, they guy was desperate and offered it for a lower price, and they bought it for $100! With only a new battery (and I presume ignition, oil change, and grease in the CVT), the scooter started right up, and the son rode it over 2000 miles alongside his dad clear to SF. Znen scooters have had a good reputation for years now, and your review continues to solidify it
