subject: Quick Tip For Being Able To Buy Moped Parts [print this page] The popularity of Chinese scooters or mopeds has risen. And because of this, more and more people are looking for places where they can buy moped parts. But since the popularity of these imported scooters were not only until a few years ago, it is somewhat difficult to find the spare parts. For some people, they go to the local scooter shop so that they can look for the parts. But for other people, this is almost impossible. Even if they can find a local shop that handles scooter repairs, most of these specialize in the European brands and will not be able to work on mopeds.
For this reason, it is important to know that these Chinese scooters have come to the shores of America under many different names. What's even worse is that a lot of us buy a scooter with a Chinese brand and just after 2 minutes, we can no longer remember what brand name or model we bought.
One quick way you can figure out the name of the manufacturer is to look for the Vehicle Identification Number or the VIN. This is also known as the scooter's serial number. For most scooters, this can be found on the middle shaft located on the bike's front. It is normally covered by a 1 inch by 5 plastic cover. In order to reveal the VIN, you can use a screwdriver so you can pop off this plastic. Once you have done this, you can take a look at the first two letters as these letters will already tell you the manufacturer's name. After this 2 letters, it is then followed by the other numbers that can tell you your scooter's model number and its engine size. That is normally all that is needed so that you can find parts for your moped.
If you cannot find the VIN in this location, you can also lay down on your back and look up from beneath the scooter. There are also other scooters that have the VIN located some place else on its body's frame. Although this is harder to locate, it is still another option. Once you have the VIN, you can then go to your local scooter store or even go online so you can look for the parts.
By giving the VIN, you can guarantee that you will receive the precise scooter parts which you will be needing, thus eliminating any room for error. You will then be able to get those moped parts which you need in order to make your scooter run properly again.
