The Roadrunner I-scooters offer the best quality/price ratio of any scooters we have found (Note that scooter cover, disk lock, and shipping to the continental US are all included in the prices). Unfortunately, only the 50cc Roadrnner scooters are currently CARB (California Air Resources Board) approved to be registered in California. It always takes longer (and is more expensive) to get new scooters to comply with California CARB regulations (See Legislation-Happy California Shoots Itself in the Ecological Foot).
Roadrunners are intended specifically for online sales and, as such, are sealed in their metal crates to prevent damage and missing parts and are backed by a substantial two-year factory power train parts-only warranty -- with bumper to bumper and extended warranties available. A complete line of Roadrunner parts is available from the Official Roadrunner Iscooter Parts Page. Roadrunner has made serious attempts to solve the problems of construction glitches, shipping damage, and missing parts from which many online scooter brands have suffered, though even with Roadrunner, they do occur from time to time. Shipping is free within the continental US and they ship worldwide for a reasonable additional charge (See worldwide shipping).
Each Roadrunner is inspected and then test driven, and this fact, together with the economy achieved through the online sales model, has resulted in a scooter line that surpasses other Chinese scooters both in quality and price. With their reasonably good service and support including parts availability, the Roadrunner ranks best for overall quality and support. (Honda has used a very similar manufacturing model in having its motors and other parts manufactured in China for many years.)
"I have a bunch of 2 wheelers in my garage and the Roadrunner 150 is by far the easiest and most pleasurable of them all. It doesn't hurt that my wife likes it and can operate it easily. She'll ride on the back of the scooter - not so for the other motorcycles." -- Forum member jafrazer
Unfortunately, it is impossible to test the fuel system completely as fuel may not be put into the gas tank at any point prior to shipping for safety reasons. They are test-driven using an external temporary fuel source instead. Most of the problems new Roadrunner owners have had involve the fuel supply -- it takes some time and a full tank to get fuel through the system for the first time. There have also been problems with fuel line kinks and connections.
Roadrunner has vastly improved the quality of scooter packaging with its i-Scooter line to minimize shipping damage and provide factory support and substantial warranties. Despite all these efforts, some minor problems still get through and online support can't equal that of a responsible local dealer. Reports speak very highly of the support that Roadrunner has provided however, and they have been very good about addressing these issues.
All Roadrunners come with scooter cover, disk lock, and remote alarm and starter. Many also include an mp3 player, and an oversized rear trunk. Roadrummers have been out for a couple of years now and their track record is prdedominantly positive. Though most owners seem very satisfied, a single unsatisfied customer with a headlight adjustment problem (as it happens) can post more than a dozen satisfied ones, and this nust be taken into account when evaluating reports. Many people feel that, if one buys a scooter in this price range, and headlight adjustment is the worst problem to arise, it's a pretty good deal. These are clearly not the highest quality scooters in the world (see Vespa motorscooters), just good quality for a rock-bottom price.
Shipped preassembled, setup is minimal -- attach the rear-view mirrors, connect the sealed battery, add gas, and go.
Note: though the larger Roadrunners can not yet be registered in California, they are legal in all other states and are legally drivable in California if registered elsewhere. They can also be shipped worldwide (See worldwide shipping).
Have a look at all the new RoadRunners. They appear very impressive!

Gas tank capacity is 1.5 gallons, a good size for this size scooter (unlike the tiny tank on the TANK Sporty) It would be hard do find a better deal and take note: The maximum load is given as 300 lbs!
