Chinese or not the people at Genuine are pretty serious about quality. They took several years chasing the bugs out of the 400i motorcycle before selling it and the Urbano and Rattler are receiving accolades for quality at a decent price. Cleveland Moto videos are full of praise for the two.

Uh, not always. The 400i bike is built by Shineray, a Chinese company. The Rattler and Urbano are also China bikes. Follow the Cleveland Moto videos where they acknowledge they sell Chinese scooters,

This may not be the same problem for everyone but when I have had head shake handlebar wobble and the head stock bearings are tight, it has been poor balance from a tire changer or a bad vulcanization of the tire from the tire manufacturer. I have met some mechanics slash tire changers in the past that also seem to think that these small diameter wheels and tires do not need balancing...WRONG!! So I purchased my own static balance machine and do all my own tire balancing and now enjoy super smooth no vibration or head shake from any of my bikes!! Later, gotta go for a scooter ride!!

I just hit 2000 on mine the other day. The fastest it's ever said on the speedo for me is 57. I have also never gotten close to 80 miles a gallon. you guys must be a hundred pounds lighter and live in flatter places!!!! Love this thing though it's badass. By the way Longjia is the company in China that makes this. They have a great reputation.

I have a 2012 vw tdi jetta with a 6 spd manual. It gets 75 mpg all of the time. I bought it new and it has a 14 gallon fuel tank and will do over a thousand miles on a fill up. Once I did almost 1200 on a camping trip through the northwest

I have a Vitacci Clash 200 EFI scooter that is similar in many ways. A Chinese bike with the engine made by Lifan, 14" wheels, 168.9cc, different looking plastics. Only 3500 miles so far but running fine. Speed and MPG are about what you are getting on the Rattler.
@datrucksdavea20806 ай бұрын
I'm getting about the same MPG and I did notice it improved as the bike broke in. Although my speedometer/odometer isn't quite accurate and shows me 4 miles an hour faster than a radar speed sign. Those tires make the bike in my opinion, you can almost do a track stand with them, they corner well, and still have lots of tread after 3000 miles but I got the bike for mostly winter commuting in the NW

Nice review! I looked at the Buddy 170i and the hoodlum 170i Didn’t like the Buddy the way it rode, liked the Hoodlem and also rode a SYM Fiddler 4 200i. Liked the ride almost as good as the Hoodlum. I even checked out Vespa Sprint 150 and Pringle Liberty 150. I liked the way they fit me but didn’t like the dealer that well. So I went back a bought the SYM Fodder 4 over the Hoodlum 170i for two reasons. One: the Fiddler had the gas tank in front down low for better center of gravity which gives the under seat storage area greater capacity than with the gas take in the back. Two it had an all digital dash which I liked better than the Hoodlum. Also this Fiddler was a demo with 643 miles on it so it had the break in service done on it. I also got mine up to 67 mph indicated and I am 300 lbs with riding gear at least. I also noticed that without a windshield it didn’t have the wind blast on you like a motorcycle would, kinda weird huh.

there's a little problem with MPG. North America is the only place to use both "US" Gallons, and Miles. so MPG means absolutely nothing to the rest of the world. can you include Litres per 100km, and/or kilometers per litre (km/l)?
