TaoTao Thunder 50cc Moped Scooter | Gas | Street Legal | Matching Trunk
$1029 The TaoTao Thunder 50cc Moped Scooter is a gas-powered street-legal scooter designed for short-distance commuting and neighborhood riding. It runs on a 49.6cc air-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder engine paired with a V-belt automatic transmission, making it easy to operate without manual shifting.
Starting is handled by electric start with kick start backup. Power output reaches 3.26 HP at 7000 RPM, with a top speed of 20–25 mph, depending on rider weight and road conditions. Ignition uses a CDI system, and the scooter is CARB approved for California, allowing registration where permitted.
This model rides on 12-inch alloy wheels fitted with 120/70-12 tires. Braking includes a front hydraulic disc brake and a rear drum brake, both hand operated. The chassis supports a maximum rider weight of 225 lbs.
Standard road equipment includes headlights, taillights, turn signal indicators, horn, and engine kill switch. A matching rear trunk is included for basic storage.

Bought this for my 9-year-old and he's obsessed. The adjustable speed limiter let me start him slow then open it up as he got confident. Arrived crated and well-packed.
Was nervous ordering a $1,200 ATV online but their phone support walked me through everything. Shipping was free and showed up in 5 days. Runs great.
