My name is rich, i live near derby, 15 years old (but look and act much older ). I am looking to get a chinese ped for my birthday in april so i want to knock around here for abit to see if my purchase would be a wise one! Im about 6'2 with a 34 inch inside leg so im worried if i can actually fit on one lol *nervious laugh* I would be looking at something like this cgi.ebay.co.uk/X-Stream-Sprint-50cc-Scooter-Black-NO-RES_W0QQitemZ4584733424QQcategoryZ9939QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem(would post pics but dont know how to) Just wondering....would i actually fit on it? thanks in advance rich

Welcome aboard Rich!! You'll easily fit onto one of those as they're the same size as most other scooters but stay well clear of the Taishan Commuter, I used to own one and I'm six feet tall and I looked huge on it. If you need help posting pictures have a look at the topic in the Rules, Announcements, Suggestions section.

Sound, cheers for the quick reply - thought i were wierd doing this at midnight on a saturday night, but obviously not I would be only looking at that one anyway (sport) they look the part much more than the commuter! Im glad if i can fit on one though, though i would have a problem! (my new fav emoction )

I dont think that particular 'deal' is a good one. Its a drum brake model with steel wheels and a huge delivery fee of 140. Can get better than that , disc/drum and alloy wheels with cheaper delivery. Same bike though. I am 6'2 also and i fit it. Mine is a Baotian.

Im not looking particually at that bike (i would have one with the 12' alloys ) just that style is what i want! You say you fit but do you ever smash your knees on the bars? danke

Hello, That is a nice looking bike! I actually like the wheels bacause you don't see them in the US. I would try to find a scooter with hydraulic front brakes because they are really good and maintenance free!

The ones with the 12" wheels have the hydrolic brake, i dont think they do the hydrolic brake in that wheel

Nope, my knees are not any where near the handle bars. Its actually a very comfortable size for me. If only it went quicker or i wasn't so fat.
