Info and questions from abroad !

[Botanic]

Hello everyone!
I am a proud owner of a Baotian Sport in Sweden.
I found this forum when looking for info about my scooter on the net.
First of all I have a few questions about the Chinese scooter scene in the UK...
Is it hard to get hold of spare parts over there? Over here, we have a few places where to get parts, and I think there's coming even more all the time.
Any online shops in the UK with parts for Baotian?

A good tip for you is to check out what the Swedes has to offer on the net. Offcourse it is in Swedish, but there's some pictures that might make some sense to you:
www.baotianforum.com/
www.yttertavle.se/160/moped/Bajan/baotian_start.htm
www.pinalen.se/reservdelar.htm

The first one is a nice forum.
The second one is a guide of how to derestrict with pictures.
The third one is a store with spareparts. If you click on your model, you get a manu with sections. Click further and you get some pictures that might come in handy.

Hi and welcome to this forum.

It would be great if you could translate the Derestriction guide into english for us.

There seems to be a couple of steps we are not doing!

Thanks

Welcome aboard, good to have you here.

So how hard is it to get reasonably priced spareparts in the UK? Any webshops for that?

I don't think that I have the time to translate a lot for you. Maybe you can ask on the swedish forum for translations?

[Ginger Phil]

It's very hard getting spares over here, most people buy bits from ebay.

Maybe it's worth for you to investigate in getting parts from outside the UK then?
www.mopshop.de - a shop in Germany that I know ships to Sweden.

Swedish places:
web.hi-tronic.se/
www.lellesmc.se
www.olssonsgarage.se/reservdelar.htm
www.mixab.com
www.atv-scooter.com/index.html
www.trendimport.se/

You can always email these places and ask if it is possible for them to ship to the UK.

i just tired this web site and spoke to the guy over the phone and he said we don't ship any parts to UK So no luck with this one www.atv-scooter.com/newpage0.html
by the way i was checking this web site and found this little thing if u attach this thing with the disk break it will make the break ABS.and its just £21 just for the part.
as i said he is not ready to post to UK.

[Botanic]

Yes I have one of those ABS thingies on my scooter. It is not a "real ABS". It doesn't have all those fancy sensors that you would find in a more expensive ABS.
This one works great on asphalt but not as good on ice or mud.

www.pinalen.se/ also has the ABS.

I would think that mopshop.de ships to the UK since they ship to Sweden. I read on the Swedish forum, that someone emailed them in english and got an answer in german though :-)

[BillyGreen1973]

I emailed Mopshop.de and got my answer very quick and in English!

They do ship to the UK, but price depends on part being shipped,

To view the site in English, use this translation site.

babelfish.altavista.com/

All you have to do is enter the website address in the address box, then choose the translation from the drop down box (German to English), and hey presto!

[Botanic]

Mopshop has a lot of brand parts that fits Baotians. They have a lot of Malossi stuff that are of a lot higher quality than our original parts.
For example the kevlar drive belts.

You can use this website to translate Swedish to English

www.systransoft.com/index.html

Use it the same as the other translator site.
