Advise on new scooter?

jdfja

My son got graduated this year,that was great for the final score of his three year campus learning. In order to praise him, I promised to buy a scooter for him, sudden at the chance, I came across this news, is that a cool advise for my new scooter gift?
where it said the lowest price guaranteed in the united states-50cc scooter for only $530.

First off, this is a UK site. Second, can you ask your graduate son to put your words into some sort of order that we can understand.

Thanks,paddedjohn. sorry about the quick unsorted typing in front the PC, I know this is a UK site, and my son really like it because he can learn.
Back to the topic, I checked several related scooter sites, find one special, see detailed info if you want( Because I'm the new user, can't put links here, so can you visit it's facebook, named: Megamotormadness)
There, the scooter campaign continues, but I can't decide to choose, other better choices,just send me message anytime.And help me to find one available.
Much thanks!

Hi There,
sorry about !!!!!! reply above , if people cant offer constructive advice they shouldnt offer any!

On the subject of what to buy, not sure what make the scooter youve been offered is but here in UK you can class scooters into three basic bands

European/Japanese - if at all possible these are the ones to go for, they're more expensive but thats because they are built of better quality components & have good dealer backup & spares availability
Aprillia/Peugeot/Piaggio/vespa/Honda/Gilera/Yamaha/Suzuki


Korean/Taiwan - on the way up, but not quite got the build quality/reputation of above
Hyosong/Kymco/Sym

Chinese - avoid!!, cheap & nasty will fall apart after 12 months & spares availability is as rare as rocking horse poo
Lifan/Sunny/Quinqui/Zongshen


You should insist that when your sprog takes to the road they do so in appropriate clothing - helmet, good gloves & armoured textile clothing - they may whine that they dont look 'cool', but Gravel Rash from a 30mph+ 'off' looks even less cool (&hurts!)

Ah, I love the smell of spam in the morning.

Especially when it's wrapped up as some post asking
for help, followed by a second post providing their
spammy links

$530 for a brand new scooter? Is it a childs minibike?
OR just complete scrap?

Take him to MacDonalds instead the burger will last longer than some cheap and nasty chinese scooter.

I do find it strange that your spelling and poor grammar, Exactly match the chinese sellers of these fine piles of tat..

Coincidence?
