We hand pick every scooter that we sell. We are the only online seller of scooters that actually picks and chooses which make and models we sell. The factories we get our inventory from are among the most advanced in China and the Quality Control system ensures that we deliver a CONSISTANT product. Most Chinese scooters LOOK the same because all of the manufacturers tend to use the same styling as other competing manufacturers, and in the Chinese scooter business the MANUFACTURER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO LOOK AT WHEN PURCHASING (Some of the factories produce over 120,000 units world-wide every year!). Every 6-12 months small changes are made during the manufacturing process of each Chinese scooter, they look the same as their previous models but parts like wiring harnesses and clutches are upgraded. We find out the reliability of these newer models and select only those that have shown to have the least amount of issues and then purchase those models. The components used to build our scooters come from all over the world and we hand pick only the BEST SCOOOTERS with the BEST PARTS available to offer to you. When choosing a scooter online it is important to consider that the Branded scooters we carry are classified as Hi-Spec scooters suitable for on road use any where in the world! We don't buy mass quantities of cheap scooters, from cheap factories with cheap parts, mass quantity for the cheapest price so we can make the most money off of our customers, we buy the best for the best (that's you guys! Our customers ARE the best). This minimizes returns and parts issues so we don't waste our money and your time.
AVOID DOING BUSINESS WITH THE ONLINE DISCOUNTERS THAT PROMISE SAVINGS, OFFER "FREE SHIPPING" ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY CHARGE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR "HOME DELIVERY" AND THEN DELIVER SUB-STANDARD, PROBLEM RIDDLED SCOOTERS.

Many customers ask us the difference between a moped and a scooter. We hope this page will help explain some of the differences and similarities of the two.
Mopeds are a class of low powered motorized vehicles normally defined by limits on engine displacement, speed, power output, or the requirement of pedals. Moped classification is designed to allow the use of small motorized vehicles on streets, without some of the restrictions and licensing requirements of larger displacement motorcycles. Motorized bicycles, small scooters and small motorcycles generally fit the definition of a moped.
Typically, mopeds are restricted to 30–35 mph. Some localities require pedals, thus making them hybrid transport, using both human power and machine power. Many jurisdictions consider them as "limited speed motorcycles." The earliest mopeds, introduced in the early 1950s, were nothing but bicycles with a helper motor in various locations, for example on top of the front wheel. These were commonly called cycle motors. An example of this early type is the Velosolex brand. A more innovative design was known as the Cyclemaster in the UK. This had a complete powered rear wheel which was simply substituted for the bicycle rear wheel. It originated from a design by two DKW engineers in Germany. Slightly larger machines, commonly with a 98cc engine were known as auto cycles. However, some mopeds, such as the Czech-made Jawa, were derived from motorcycles.
Scooters are similar to mopeds in that they normally have smaller displacements that a motorcycle. This is not always true, as maxi-scooters can have displacements of 650ccs or more, rivaling mid-sized motorcycles.
In a traditional sense, mopeds were simply scooters with pedals, or bicycles with motors. For many states, however, the word “moped” has come to mean a motorized vehicle with a displacement of 50ccs or less. When GS Motorworks advertises that we sell mopeds, we are referring to our 49cc scooters, since none of our models are equipped with pedals.
