150cc scooter California Carb compliant

hpcast · 01-21-2020, 01:33 PM

Hello I am interested in a 150cc scooter to ride in CA.

I don't mind putting it together. What I would like is kind of a best buy/bang for your $$$$?

Any suggestion are appreciated.

thanks
Adrian.

I’m in Sacramento. Been watching Craigslist.
Any carb compliant scooter. Taotao 150cc appear to be what I keep looking at.
I’d like to spend as little as possible...

Are there any recommendations on what internet sellers to use/stay away from.

Thanks.

Use a California based licensed dealer; start with Kronik Racing in Simi Valley, Cal. He is a full on Vader dealer, and sells a ton of them mostly locally, but does ship nationwide. I know those are 125cc and not scooters, per se, but they might be cheaper than 150cc scooters. Baodiao aka Boom! also have several scooters in the 50cc and 150cc range. His site might not be up to date, but since he deals with Boom! pretty much directly, he can tell you what he can get hold of. Use the phone number on the site www.kronikracing.com since someone sabotaged his phone number that comes out when you Google Kronik Racing (apparently anyone can edit your information since it is not a website on the Google page when you Google a business. Pete is the owner, he is a California licensed dealer, Kronik is a brick and mortar shop, and he sells bikes, at least the Vaders, at a VERY competitive price or less than some of the online dropship dealers. 805-630-7223 is the number I have for him. If in the odd chance he couldn't help you, try Powersportsmax, but they are hit or miss when it comes to customer service.
