Am in talks with ins co and motorcycle news. Will keep you [Log in to view email]
Your message states good deal with lexham insurancce - did you get £169 for your 16 yr old daughter ? - I am asking because my son has bought the same bike & is 16 yrs old & has had quotes ranging from £320 to nearly £600 !!!!!! Any advice from anyone for a cheap (sub-£200) TPO quote on the Baotian scooter? I need Insurance Broker/Company names - I tried quoteline direct from this forum who quoted £525 (not £110 as someone stated in this forum). What I cannot understand is that TPO does not cover the scooter itself - only damage caused by it so why should it cost more than say, a Piaggio Zip? (Quote was £179 for the Zip). Thanks all
I rang Lexham - they had already changed the details of the scooter from BT50 QT-9 to FD50 QT-9 & NIG Insurance allowed them to do this so that they could quote £175.20 !!!!! I'm curious - Is yours insured by NIG Insurance & does your insurance schedule show BT59 or FD50 on it? Thanks again for being so helpful - £175 is very reasonable for a 16 yr old with no driving experience!!!! Best wishes Phil
Thanks for feedback - we are accepting quote on the same basis although I clearly stated the bike is a BT - not an FD - does not seem to matter to lexham. In reply to your query about de-restriction there seems to be a lot of advice in this very forum!!! It seems to be a simple matter of removing a small screw from the carburettor if we can believe whats been said. My brother is a mechanic so will let you know after he has had a look...........

Can anyone tell me if the underseat storage has room for an adult helmet, and is it lockable ? Many Thanks
Is this bike worth buying? how fast does it go? and how long did you have to run it in for? matt
Just picked up my Son's bike this morning - seems like a good one - i tried it today & it went straight to 45mph (already appears to be re-restricted althought the retailer said it wasn't). My brother said it seems to be simply a screw to be removed from the carburettor - any mechanic friend should be able to do this. Docentation is very sketchy though - any one know what the precise type of: A) engine oil & B) Gear oil which should be used ? Many thanks Phil 9/10/04
I would be interested to know what problems you have have - the full details - bearing in mind I have just bought one.... Cheers, Phil 9/10/04
Re- your message to linda - I've just bought one for my 16 yr old son & they seem to be a bargain for the money £600 for a new scooter? 4 stroke - it seems to have honda mechanicals - its quiet - not like the buzzy two-strokes now being outlawed & no expensive two-stroke oil to keep an eye on. running in is 200 km according to the docs with the scooter. My initial thoughts are good - but time will tell as regards reliability - Linda how is your one - any problems with the scooter yet? Phil 9/10/04
