What's the engine size, and price on this white one?

It's a 150cc and $3499.  Made in China.

Whoa!
Then again, an uninformed buyer might go that price.
Hopefully there's a LIKE (150i or 200i),  or Liberty 150i sitting nearby -- to show them a better scooter  for significantly less $$!

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Cleveland Moto also carries Piaggio, Vespa, Genuine and Kymco scooters.  The Royal Alloy is distributed by Genuine Scooters.  $3499 seems a bit high for a 150cc Chinese scooter but it has an all metal body like Vespa.  I have yet to see any reviews of this scooter so I don't know if it is any good.

My suspicion was confirmed on a video from a Cincy. scooter shop.  The Royal is simply metal skinned, over a metal tubular frame. The draw is centered around a "new metal scooter!"
Other than as a selling point to some - The advantages of this escapes me.
Body panels will be expensive - compared to a new plastic panel. They will dent and rust.
Will be interested to see how they come off for servicing.
Again, a lot of $ for a Chinese scooter with an unknown support system. Parts?
Scooter support in the USA is not on the upswing , so bringing in a new Chinese scooter makes little sense to me. The mark-up must be amazing on this Chinese scooter.....but the draw from old metal scooter lovers might sell a number in this country.
Listing at $3500 plus another $500>$900 to get it out the door - puts this is company with a lot of great scooters and a few nice 300cc motorcycles.

We'll see how much the metal panels produce a sale at that crazy price. (Chinese grade steel is pretty cheap!)

They also had some sidecar rigs.

Cleveland Moto is a cool place to visit.  After I was done I rode the "Emerald Necklace" around Cleveland.  Quite a change form the Urban Jungle I used to get there.
