I own the YY50QT-21 model. My fuel filter started to leak at about 1500 miles. I went to the dealer on market st in Rockland MA. They gave me two of them at no charge.

Own 2) of the YY150-12 Scooters Less than 300 miles on each. They both run like crap! One has extremely hard time starting. Once started seems to run fine, but if you leave it set for 1 hour nearly impossible to start! The other starts fine, but runs like crap! Have been trying to find someone that can help me with these problems, but Jonway seems to have no support for their scooters. Do not buy these scooters over the internet unless you are a mechanic.
Someone have any idea on why a brand new scooter has a hard time starting!???
Any other problems

Anybody know why a friend of mine purchased a brand new Jonway scooter off the internet but the business was 10 miles from the house so we drove and picked it up. Cheapest scooter we could find anywhere and it is brand new still in the crate! Great! It comes out of the crate a 2008 model its a 3.5 year old brand new scooter? LOL Im cracking up and what a pain in the ass to put together!! No instruction or anything, you get what you pay for……anybody know how we were able to buy a 3.5 year old brand new scooter? Just curious

i GOT A jONWAY pREDATOR SCOOTER as part of a trade/sell for my 1500 chevy p/u- the scooter may need a battery- the only dealer I canfind is in Rockland…anyone else have that/this issue- the scooter needs a windshied/fairing too & the RMV will not recognize it as a scooter but a M-Cycle so I gotta regit as such….sux.
