Its also the same as the Boatian so i guess its a matter of who you buy it from. Those of us who brought from Boatian Uk have been pleased and depending on who you talk to The Internet bike shop is ok. www.baotianscooters.co.uk/baotian-bt125t-7.html

The Sanben looks the better deal - You wont get the Sukida for less than £600 + registration +delivery, the Sanben is all in.

I think I'd keep an eye on the Sukida(with rear disc), sanben's going to cost almost £800 baotian uk want £895

I did my research before purchase and decided on the Sukida, now had it three weeks, done over 800 miles and all that has let me down is the auto-choke staying on a little too long, but at an average of 97.6 mpg I'm not complaining. Bought from TIBS direct, good deal, good service, £720 on the road.

I'd rather have the12mths warranty from the more established internet bike shop,
3mth warranty and errors in spec ( 8) Front/rear tires: 3.50-10/3.50-10) feedback suggests only a handful of scoot sales in the past year.........

Again, many thanks, I must admit IBS was always the front runner, I just needed to get the others out of my system. CBT next I think, then an order with IBS.

When dealing with TIBS best to speak to either Sam [Manager] or Emilia [registrations]. Also if you can pay them a visit rather than deal through Ebay.

Dont be tempted by cheaper offers from small fry dealers you only have to read the posts to see the problems some members have. In life it is often better not always to go for the cheapest option. TIBS and Boatian UK seem to be the two best sources and both stand by their warranty.

i disagree Boatian UK are abit overpriced and you could still have problems with a bigger dealer
might as well get a honda if you dont want problems
just check out the user rating if you get off ebay and also check out the bad comments
and also the disc brake thing "has a rear disc brake and that is really important " naaa

But I think we all know by now reading the posts that Boatian UK supply only the higher spec N models and that they are fully pid and road ready. They are also very nice people to deal with offer full support and spares even if not brought from them and stand by their warranty. I have yet to find a bad post about them (which was why I chose them) The same cannot be said for TIBS, but people must make their own mind up, however my 52 years experience on the planet can tell you that the cheapest is not always the best option

I was all ready to buy from TIBS but sent them one very easy question over Ebay about a certain bike and never got a reply. At least when I asked for Baotian UK's catalogue it turned up swiftly. I know mistakes happen and things slip through but just that 'small' event has changed my mind, looks like I'll be buying from Boatian UK.
