Thank you for the suggestions. I'm always looking, and open for ideas. I have a couple of those already in the works. Stay tuned in 2021!!

I think so. I have a couple other 150s. The RA seems to be my least favorite

You could always go the route of a new carb. Pretty inexpensive fix and then you know where you stand. There's also a Fire Ball group on Facebook. You could try there.

Mine has 860 miles on it. I have broken it in accordingly. $2500 seems like a fair price. 1k off MSRP. It's hard to price a "new to market" USED scooter.

Guff

Look around for a used GT200. I absolutely love mine. I ride on the highway with it at speed and its has plenty of power to get up the hills and mountains. You can usually find one relatively inexpensive.

Guff

I'm always torn when I ride it. I have a little under 1000 miles on it. It's a sexy scoot. I feel like i sit a little too high on it. I have two other 150s (which seem to pull harder and have a little more power). There's an annoying rattle in the headlight assembly. Some of these things can be reme...

Guff

if someone offered me 2500, I'd probably sell mine

Guff

DANG!!!! Congrats!!!

I've noticed all my scoot speedometers (Genuine, RA, Vespa) are about 10% optimistic.

Possibly the relay box that is under the horn cover. I just had mine changed out because it caught on fire. Also check to make sure the bulbs are making good contact to the light assembly. They assembly is kind of cheap.

Guff

Has anyone ever ordered from Scooter Dynasty? If so, what was the experience like? Thanks in advance

Isn't the battery on the 50 in the same place as the others, i.e. under your feet?

True, My bad

Could be the vent from the battery

For all you podcast listeners, here is a new scooter podcast that just launched.

Buy a replacement seat and then order a custom seat cover from Cheeky Seats. Cheeky seats is the bees knees!!!!

Guff

Realistically, $1000 - $1200

Guff

Great battery / storage MOD!!! I may have to "borrow" that idea

Guff

same thing happened to my 4T

That's the culprit

Congrats on the new scoot!!!

My guess would be that it is filling the Stella void. It very much feels like a Stella to me (minus the manual transmission) Steel body and sexy styling. It seems like the special edition Buddies went away when Phil left Genuine. Just an observation.

Guff

Gobo, The RA. Here's my first impressions. I am loosely basing this off a comparison to my other scoots. My daily commuter is a Vespa GT200 and I have a 4T Stella and a BlackJack. The RA is an awesome 150 scoot. It's feels tall and wide. I'm a bigger rider so this is comfy for me. May be a little st...

Picking mine up Thursday.

Any chance in a â€œRoyal Alloyâ€� section being added to the forums?

Guff

I think the North American distributor stopped selling them last year. Still made in Italy but harder to get in the states now.

Guff

Love my Stella

I'm looking to get rid of my Stella for a Buddy 170. How much of a power difference is there? I live in a hilly area of PA and the Stella just doesn't have what I want to climb the hills (I'm a bigger guy). I have a GT200 which is my go to, but I also want a smaller wheeled scooter to zip around on....

Guff

Stella the other night

Guff

Thanks!!!

Guff

Is there a BLACK rear rack available for the 4T?

Guff

Has anyone ever attended this? If so, is it a large event and is it a good time? Thanks

Guff

After getting my Stella out after a long PA winter, My horn sounds really sick. Anyone know why? I am pretty mechanical but have never wrenched on my Stella before. How can I diagnose it and how do I remove the horn cover to take a look? Thanks

Guff

Where can I get a vented cap for my 4t?

Guff

Does anyone know if a fireball seat will fit a 4t Stella?

Guff

How long did it take to get your gift card? I am Patiently waiting for mine

Guff

The bulbs weren't in properly. They are working great now (other than the annoying sound when they're on).

Guff

Thanks! I'll try that out. I'm new to the scoot world so I apologize in advance for stupid questions.

Guff

I just got my new 4t Stella and brought it home. It doesn't seem like the front turn signals are working. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what is the fix?

Thanks

Guff

It's the 4T. Not the weather I'm concerned about, it's all the darn gravel on the road!!

Guff

I got red. It was the only one they had. It wouldn't have been my first choice but it has definitely grown on me!

Guff

Thanks!

Guff

Finally.... After YEARS of researching and wanting a scooter, I am a proud owner of a new 2010 Stella. Too bad I live in Central PA and have to wait about 5 months to ride.
