Extract of a review by Ace Scooters

So why is it so special? Well, because the motor that powers
the Zip 50 2T is the very same motor that powers the Vespa LX 50. Thats right,
the Vespa HiPer engine  smooth, easy to start and utterly dependable  but
available in a package half the price of the Vespa!! But most importantly, its
the power of this motor that keeps customers coming back. Its not surprising
that they race Zips in Europe. Moreover unlike some of the other brands on the
market, there are plenty of tried and tested (and affordable) performance
upgrades available  for racetrack purposes only of course.

If you are looking for a 50cc scooter, then this one should be on your
shortlist. Sure, go and check the competition, but there is a very good reason
why having done the rounds, customers keep coming back and buying Zips. You just
cant go wrong. Its the reason why weve already sold so many of these to
different motorcycle instructors/schools. Indeed one has a fleet of 4 to run
their specialist 50cc Scootercraft group course. Because thats what
professionals are looking for  reliability and value  and the Zip 50 delivers
these in spades.

Sure, the looks might not attract your boy racer, but we think that this is very
much in its favour, particularly when youll have the power to blow them away on
the roads, and it will also prevent a lot of the unwelcome attention whilst
parked that you want to avoid.

In our opinion this is simply and easily the best quality 50cc scooter in the
budget end of the market.
