Ive never seen a Tao Tao buggy before...those welds look real bad.. not sure if the buggies are made at the same factory as the quads..(they werent when I was there) Those welds look like they are from the welding shop that made the pit bikes frames that Shenmao Appliance(a Jetmoto factory) bought from a local supplier.. Tao Tao and Shenmao are both in Yongkang China..

Its definitely a you get what you pay for thing..

 

i have a kazum 110 falcon

 

Here's a couple pics, in case you're interested. My 10yr old drives it. 125cc, shift on the fly, not a bad little buggy. Same motor as the quads I'm assuming. Bought it new a few months ago. I own a welder and have owned enough of this chinese stuff to know what I'm getting into. I think these are just gorilla welds cause none of them have failed. Yet. If and/or when they do, I'm ready. haha

Currently working on the front steering cause this thing has terrible bump steer. Am in the process of lengthening the steering rack. Should fix it.

 

Thats a cool looking buggy...Thanks for sharing the pics..

 

Welcome to the forum 2cool!

What year is it?

 

We got my grandson a Toa Toa for his birthday Mach 21st 2012. He has a 110D and for $580 has been a GREAT starter for a 7 year old. Only problem so far was the rear rack broke and we welded it the the axle got cocked. He has gone on 30 mile power line rides with his mother and her boyfriend. The only draw back is is will not handle big jumps as it will knock the axle out of alingment. But beats the heck out of paying $3,000 just to see if the child will stay interested in a ATV. His only gripe is it does not have reverse.

 

First color choice, red, second, blue, third, black, and got a burdundy chinese quad.

Ok, its true, I have complained about bent axle and wheels, and the fact the tires wear out super fast on asphalt even within minutes. Besides those little quirks, the tao tao 125d is rock solid engine. I have left it for a month with the same gasoline, and cranks on the first try. Never overheats, idles like a charm.

The carrier looked the other way and denied repairs from shipping damages, but thats another story. That poor thing has seen some air and taking a beating on mud, dirt terrain, and still runs like a champ.

 

RonV,
have you thought about putting bigger back tires on that buggy? that'd increase speed by quite a bit. that's the way my Roketa 150cc was set up.
we enjoyed the go kart while we had it. sometimes i wished i had it back. it was a lot of fun!!!!!

 

I love my Kazuma Falcon 110cc parts or readily available and cheap to buy
I beat the snot of out every 3 or 4 days and it keeps on going, I'm 6 foot tall 200 pounds and it eats hills without hesitation. When the motor goes there only $200 new on ebay that includes shipping! you can buy a new Jug Piston and Rings for 49.00
