I bought this scooter- moped for my daughter from along side the road it basically has no markings although it does have NP 50 T on it I have pictures I can email I really need some help here so I can get some parts for it. I have looked threw about 1000 pictures here on eBay in scooters and mopeds and can't find anything that matches exactly any help or advice would be helpful greatly appreciated I live in the middle of nowhere in Iowa thanks again.
Feel free to send me a few pictures. I too am working on finding parts for a moped but have learned some. Please take pictures of the front end, leg area, engine (both sides), Any markings you have. Is it a 2 or 4 stroke engine?
well the 50 probably refers to it being a 50cc Scooter. The other letters - who knows, but if you bought it along side the road - was it brand new or used?
If new and it was cheap, it was most likely a Chinese branded item. If that's the case, it was made by only a few factories, then named as one of many brands - that are all actually the same.
An idea you can check if using the VIN number. I know that 50cc scooters don't have to be registered, but I think they still have VIN.
And even though your daughter doesn't need a motorcycle endorsement to drive one of these she should still follow all the safety rules - wearing appropriate clothing and helmet - all the time.
There is no doubt that you have bought one of the myriad Chinese-made scoots that are flooding America. Most are poorly made and many not legal in California. Iowa? I dunno. By way of an answer, go to the website for.........
2strokebuzz.com
...and look for their "Scooter VINs" page. If you look for a matching VIN prefix (2 or 3 letters) you will find the country of manufacture and maybe several brand-names. Next, I would go to [Scooter World Magazine} and ask them who to contact for parts....for that manufacturer. There are other ways, but this is the route I would follow....first. Then, buy a Jap scooter. I know they have 'em in Iowa
