Most of them are pretty terrible to be honest. They are all Chinese imports which are never something I would advise someone to buy. The Peugeot has a major brand name but is also a chinese import as Peugeot just jumped on the bandwagon.

Have you tried sitting on a Piaggio Zip? They are small but quality bikes. They can be picked up very cheap as well and come in both 2 stroke and 4 stroke models so can be insanely good on fuel economy.

hi
I was told the PGO had a Piaggio engine, is this correct?

Nope. It has a Minarelli horizontal AC engine which is made by Yamaha. Best out of the bunch for sure!
