Not sure if anyone has posted this before. Received this from my Chinese daughter in Shenzhen. Here is the US website. FYI

Don't buy this thing. They are very unstable and shake violently above 40 MPH. I've been reading about them on a couple of scooter forums. I think the 2011 models have addressed the shaking issue, but I haven't read any unbiased reviews on the scooter forums about the new models yet either.

I can't get the pic to open up--but I am guessing it is the same one that has been shown over the last year or so. Members said it was a poor imitation--and probably not very safe.

If you believe every thing you read in a forum, You might not have bought a Spyder. :D

Wow - 8HP - wooo hooo!!!

Really, what is the point of this thing? The Spyder offers some advantages over 2 wheels if you're going to ride moderately hard (or more) sometimes, but if you're just going to put back and forth to work, why not just get a regular scooter?

Worse yet are these abominations:

Designed to look like a Spyder, but with a 250cc motor: not enough power to impress, but enough to get you hurt good with no ABS, traction control, or stability control (/nanny). Some people will confuse them with a Spyder and they'll hurt the Spyder name.
