I don't recall anyone having one. I do remember the Ice Bear 300cc trike discussion a while back, however, which might give you some guidance, but it is almost like the proverbial apples vs. oranges comparison.

Jayman77, If I can give a simple word of advice, don't buy one.
I WANTED to like my wifes trike. I WANTED to be "ok" with it.
I ended up hating the thing with every fiber of my being.
Almost 1 year and less than 200 miles later, it sits in the garage taking
up a lot of space.

The engines are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy underpowered. Like, seriously!!! A Honda PCX150 will blow the mirrors off
the Icebear 300 trike. Being as yo uare looking at a 2 wheel scooter, I would say they would be on par with one another. (the PCX and the IB300 )
The build quality! Oh my my my the build quality! Or shall I say the extreme lack there of!!!!!!!! EVERY body part is thin, cheap, looks like it cam out of a 40 year old wore out molding press, and NOTHING lines up even remotely close to even.
I have no clue where you live. Nor how you plan on paying for the scooter.
assuming you have cash or a credit card for purchase, I would extremely highly recommend buying a used Honda Reflex instead. Or a Burgman 400.
I love China bikes. I am NOT biased. I am simply telling you, they have their place & market. 150cc scooters, heck yeah! Get a china scoot! The GY6 150cc motors are awesome! And CHEAP!
Need a 250cc dual sport? The Hawk 250 is only $1400 SHIPPED!!!! And it is not tooooooo far power wise from the Honda CRF250L, has better suspension, MUCH better seat, and cost $3,600 LESS than the Honda! Heck yeah! OR, upgrade to the awesome CSC TT250! Still $2900 less than the Honda! And has the much better (IMO) Zong engine!
Need a small sport bike? The CSC RC3 is only $2999!! A new Honda is $4500!!!! And they will run neck & neck with each other! I am all for the RC3 if one insists on buying new!
And the RX3 ADV bike................well.............I can not compare that one
because it is the ONLY thing in it's niche class. And a darned GOOD one too!
Just, not a 300cc scooter. Those I would run away from!
Hey, do what makes you happy. I just had to speak my peace and give you
fair warning. Best of luck!
