QLINK Commuter 250


QLINK Commuter 250.
By now you are probably familiar with the powersport industry’s ‘attack of the clones’; a phenomenon that pretty much began the same time that the movie came out (2002). This story doesn’t involve an army of black-and-white clad solders from a galaxy far, far away but instead a flood of cheap, Chinese built scooters that began to appear on our shores.

Many of these scooters looked alike but had different brand names attached to them. Sometimes they were actually the same scooter rebranded and supported by different distributers and other times they are a clone of a clone made with lesser components and supported by no one. The latter are usually the scooters you see online at some ‘super x-treme scooter clearance warehouse’ and they normally transport the owner one mile for every dollar spent before they are ready for the scrap yard. They sell like hotcakes and as long as they have customers they will continue to press them out.
