In my experience working as a technician in independent motorcycle shops I worked on everything from CVO Harley Davidsons to Honda CT90s. But there was one bike that always stood out with exceptionally poor quality. The Tao Tao 50cc GY6 (139QMB) scooter. And now I'm going to put this scooter to the test and find out if they really are little money pits, or if the issues with the bike are a result of the people who buy these kinds of scooters.
So I purchased a Tao Tao "Pony" ATM 50 and my plan is to make it my main means of transportation for 6 months. Yes from June 1st to January 1st this little scooter is going to be my daily driver. I'll be logging all of the miles, issues and expenses of keeping this scooter running in a log. Doing this will allow me to present a true cost of ownership at the end of this experiment.
The Tao Tao Pony 50 is based on the generic GY6 139QMB platform. They were sold under many different "Brand" names like Wolf, Bintelli, Fly, Rocketa, MotoBravo Italica, and Dongfang just to name a few. You may be riding one and not even know it!
When I started this project I planned to keep track of all of the data in my Scout Book pocket log. But as Alton predicted I was filling up the log pretty quickly. In addition to that I kept adding more and more data I wanted to keep track of. My answer was to transfer the paper log into a Google Sheets document. But then as I thought about it more I figured it would be a good resource to share with my viewers like YOU!
Here is the link to my digital Tao Tao log!
