    Advantages Advantages No one will rob it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything

    Take my advice DO NOT PURCHASE ONE OF THESE even if someone is practically giving it away. They are absolute rubbish. Where does one start with such a piece of junk? Never in the field of scooters was something made so badly. Below is a list of the problems which I hope will put you off and save you some time and money. Don't be tempted by what looks like a bargain on Ebay. You'll only end up will a pile of scrap. PLEASE profit from my mistake. 1. Delivery 1 month late and a different model from the one advertised 2. The mirrors don't fit properly 3. Overall build quality very poor 4. No power ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good looking, lots of space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Brought one adn after 8 months it broke

    These bikes are a nice bike i have brought one in Feb 2004 and now after about 8 months Oct 2005 it was sitting in the shed bust. I took it to a garage and they said that the bike is built wrong and the Jetting (the bit that combines the fuel and the air together to make it go) was out of line. Also the Automatic Choke that came with the bike had failed. Which meaned that when i stopped at the traffic lights it would cut out and i would have to walk through the busy traffic and get it started again which in about a week made the Electric start system had bust. One day i parked it out my ... more

    1 Star Quick review of Starway 50QT-7 Scooter by warrior1950 09/10/2008
    Do not buy a starway 50qt .I recenty bought one through Grattans and it came from MP cycles. It has only done 72 miles and the electrics have packed in. no horn. indicators or electric start . it seems to have lost power. and is a nightmare to kick start. I phoned MP cycles and was told to contact a local garage. The garage told me that they have received a number of starways with the same problem. they told me they will have a look at it, but it might be some time before they can get any parts. my ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fuel Consumption, accompanying tool kit and user manual

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Reliability, safety

    My experiences with the Starway 50QT scooter are sour at best. My initial advice would be to buy a scooter from a specialist motorcycle dealer, not a national bric-a-brac store. My problems began when my main stand fell off without warning. This was followed by problems such as the exhaust welding cracking, resulting in the exhaust body falling off during use. the handle bars were not correctly fixed and wobbled, along with the loose wing mirrors. Some of these things are trivial and can easily be fixed, but combined with the other problems, I'd say it's just not worth it. Engine performance ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of Starway 50QT-7 Scooter by everton1957 10/11/2007
    I just got a Starway and it is fantastic.I doint now why there is so many bad reviews.The company cjhanged hands this year and took over the old bust Starway company.They say they have changed suppliers and that the quality is better.They did everything for me including taxing it,first service,proper handover when they delivered it.Found me a local garage and rang me when the first service was due to remind me asnd paid for first service.Bike runs great but it will do if its looked after and I love it

    1 Star Quick review of Starway 50QT-7 Scooter by Axsices 23/03/2008
    Legal Nightmare! Please please do not buy one of these bikes! We bought one from litlewoods last year, took 12 weeks to deliver! worked great for 6 weeks then no electrics, they asked us to find a garage and they would pay the bill (MP Cycles). Garage couldnt fix it and delivered it back to us in THREE boxes. MP say our warranty is now void as it was our garage (although they set up the repair we only passed on the details of the garage) Trading standards have been informed and we are now entering into a legal battle. I ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great, if you like cheap shoddy crap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very poor quality, no aftersales service

    After moving house in Jan 06 i decided to purchase a scooter to get me to and from work. After scouring the net i couldn't find a scooter or dealer in my area or price range. I then saw the Zhongu in the Argos catalogue, and for £900 brand new, it seemed like an absolute bargain. I ordered it the first week of Feb , and thats where to problems started! Scooter was delivered late!, THREE WEEKS late! When i finally got a delivery date i had to book a day off work, and it DIDN'T TURN UP! Finally got through to 'Starway' and was palmed off with a feeble excuse and had to take a second day off work ... more

    Advantages Advantages 70 MPG

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It is dangerous due to the fact of size and light weight.

    In the old days the most popular scooter named VESPA or Lambretta. These scooters are made in Italy and if they are well maintened they could last for ever. In our days they are several scooters made in China which they are like toys and lasts for real short time..
