So you’re thinking about buying a scooter. Your friends have Vespas, Yamahas, or even Hondas and they probably costs anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000. You want a cool looking, yet reliable, scooter, but no way are you going to pay those crazy prices. Enter the Lifan Metro 50 LF50QT-2A; also know as a generic Chinese cheap scooter.
The Lifan Metro is cheap ($1,149.99) but the quality might surprise you. First, Lifan is the largest manufacturer of motorcycle engines in the world. They sell about 250 different models in 100 countries – I’m sure they know what they’re doing when it comes to bikes/scooters. The Metro rides extremely well, the suspension system is a lot better than I thought it would be for a scooter of this price. Turning corners are easy, and the brakes are above average. You’ll reach top speeds of 35mph; all while looking good on this stylish, sleek model.
The Metro is a little heavier than other 50cc scooters at 200lbs, but you won’t likely notice. The under seat storage area will hold your full face helmet, and a glovebox located up front can hold smaller items. The most incredible benefit of all would be the fuel economy of a whopping 91mpg! Does your friend’s fancy brand name scooter have anywhere near that? I didn’t think so.
So you’ve got a great price, excellent fuel economy, style, decent speed, solid brakes and decent storage. This isn’t junk or some “generic Chinese scooter”, this model is comparable to any of the “fancy” brand scooters. The only thing missing is a name brand, but who cares? This is the best value for your money, nuff said.
You can get a Lifan Metro 50 LF50QT-2A for around $1,149.99 or less.
