Scooters?

I currently own two Vespas - and have owned several over the years. They are well designed, well built, and expensive. There are a number of extremely low cost Chinese built scooters available in the US. Some of them imported illegally as Labrat pointed out and most of them poorly built with low cost components. There are many reports of brake failures, suspension failures, and other serious safety problems within a few days of purchase. And warranty? If you can't figure out who built it, you certainly can't get them to honor a warranty.

Now, with all that warning, Italika is a somewhat different discussion. They are certainly built to a price, but they are built in Mexico with mostly locally sourced components. My understanding is that they collaborated with Hyosung (Korean) early on and sourced many of their original designs from them. As Italikas are not imported into the US, I seriously doubt you could legally bring one in yourself. As for riding one in Mexico, use care but local mechanics are certainly familiar with the brand and know how to fix them.
