I'm always here on these forums even though I now ride a SYM/Lance scooter. Couldn't find another People 150 around my area after it was totaled, dang it.

I like it here because:
1) not every owner here is a senior citizen (with all their associated issues)
2) I forget the other reason

I've found the "maxiscootforum" to be a good addition to many of these single brand sites. It has a Maxiscoot section, a regular scooter section, and then, sections for most of the many brands (including Kymco) that appeals to me because of the four brands I have.
It's certainly worth a look...there's some really good information on there.

I like this forum because I learn so much from my fellow Kymco riders. Stig is right about this when he says not everyone on here is a senior citizen. I am currently in my early 40's even though I look like I am in my early to mid 20's. I love the pictures that my fellow riders put up especially those of Stig with his great pictures out there in Ohio. My kymco bike is the third scooter I have owned. The last two were the small 50cc Chinese bikes. These two bikes always had some major issues with them. The issues with my Kymco have non existent.

This forum is great because it's the only one I've found where everyone has been totally helpful. Most of the other forums I've found (which I won't bother naming), have been mostly populated with either brand loyal fanatics who tell you anything else is crap, or A-holes who treat you like an idiot for asking a simple question.
When I first got my scoot almost 2 years ago, I asked a lot of noob questions while learning the ins and outs of working on my scoot. The folks here have always been cool about helping each other out. Plus, they'll ever try and help if it's not a Kymco question.
Because of the help I've gotten here, I try whenever I can to pass on everything I've learned to others on the forum.

Naw, I was poking fun at the Burgman forum....
Owner's average age must be @ 70yrs - and they like to stretch a $7.25 NGK to 30,000 miles and post how-to's on home-made air filters ---- after spending over $8/Large on a scooter.
All of which seems hilarious to me.

This was the first forum I joined and It’s been helpful and supportive ever since. I did join a Yahoo Group Scooter club in my area, but didn’t find the members friendly, supportive or helpful. They even ranted against me because at the time I didn’t have a scooter (yet) and was considered below their consideration.

Like Karl I’ve found the Maxi-Scoot forum to he equally as helpful and supportive. I’m also a member on:

beginnerbikers.org  -  They have a scooter section

advrider.com  -  They too have a scooter section

There are also a number of Scooter and rider blogs out there as well.
