Bet & Win 150 / Bet&Win Windshield options...
« on: October 06, 2008, 02:58:44 AM »
Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone has found a source of aftermarket windshields for the B&W? I'm not talking the recommended by KYMCO ones though. I'm thinking more aftermarket and cool, sort of like the one I had for my Yamaha C3...



I just want to take a bit of the wind off my chest. I don't mind it blowing in my face. That's why I bought a scooter; to feel the wind sometimes.

Any ideas? I was told that the market in Taiwan is flooded with parts and accessories for the EGO, which is the B&W's brother overseas.

Total n00b here.

I got introduced to KYMCO after almost being run over by a few in Taiwan. After I got back to Vancouver, I saw how crazy the gas prices were and bought a Yamaha C3 Scooter. It was fine for most things, and well planned routes. The gas mileage was nuts (197 KM's on a 4.5 L tank) and the storage was awesome, but because I had to tread carefully outside the city, I decided to get something more powerful.

I thought about the BWS 125, but then visited my KYMCO dealer in the city. I remembered seeing tons of KYMCO's in Taiwan and thought that they had to be good. I hyper researched the brand all around the web as well. I finally fell in love with a 2007 Bet&Win 150 which has more than three times the horsepower of my Yamaha C3. Though the storage isn't as great, the shop did work me a great deal on a storage box and a bunch of accessories. I was almost ready to go on the BWS, but the B&W represented a far superior value, at the same out the door price, with way more goodies.

I take delivery on Wednesday. I know the gas mileage won't be as good as my C3, but I am enjoying the ability to travel on highways and around the city without having to pick the best possible routes for a 50cc scoot. On my test ride, I almost bailed on a corner because I wasn't used to the power.

See you guys in the Bet&Win 150 forum. I'm sure I'll have questions as I get this thng broken in and what not.
