Taotao copied the Maddog and offered a lower cost scooter a few years back. I was so tempted to buy a bunch of the 50cc Tao versions and move to Las Vegas to start a rental business, lol. Nevada has since changed their scooter laws where one now needs a license. So did Arizona. My other 'fantasy' retirement/semi-retirement location, Hawaii, has also changed the laws, I believe. Interesting that Canada and UK allow one to ride 49.Xcc scooters with a minimum of car driver's licenses, but here in the US we are moving away from that. I just saw something that one of the cities in the Miami area is essentially stopping scooter rentals--they won't allow any new rental agencies to set up shop, and won't even allow 24 hour rentals or multi-day rentals.
