What are the advantages and disadvantages of the GX scooter?

If you are planning to purchase a Stinger moped, you should familiarize yourself with its performance characteristics. It may seem that the scooter is devoid of shortcomings. However, along with a number of advantages, this model also has weaknesses.

Let's first consider the advantages of the popular Chinese moped. Main advantages:

• modern design. Pleasant to the eye coloring of the plastic and sporty appearance make it noticeable in the general flow of vehicles;
• good optics. It is made in the style characteristic of Chinese motorcycles, and provided that powerful lamps are installed, it provides high-quality lighting;
• acceptable cost. Today, this moped, whose mass production ended in 2011, can be purchased at prices ranging from $280 to $800;
• affordable price of spare parts. If necessary, you can replace the plastic, install a crankshaft or cylinder head, at little expense;
• increased wheel size. On 14-inch slopes, the driver feels quite confident overcoming road imperfections;
• good handling. On standard Chinese tires, the scooter corners well and is quite stable on wet asphalt.

Good fittings can be noted among the advantages

Other advantages include good fittings, high-quality controls, and a comfortable seat.

This “Chinese” is of course difficult to compare with “European” or “Japanese”, but given the significant difference in prices, its quality and reliability can be considered quite acceptable.

Having finished our laudatory odes to the next “miracle” of Chinese motorcycle technology, let’s dwell in detail on its shortcomings. What lies behind the sporty design, attractive appearance of a small scooter with a fairly economical four-stroke power unit?

Undoubtedly, the gasoline consumption declared by the manufacturer of two liters per hundred is a serious plus. However, in fact, it takes about three liters per hundred. And although this is also considered a good consumption, it cannot compensate for the low traction characteristics of the engine, insufficiently fast access to the speed limit and the weak design of the variator. Having noticed how the Stinger starts at a green traffic light together with fifty-cc “Japanese” or “Europeans”, one is struck by a feeling of deep disappointment.

A rather thoughtful variator and a small-capacity engine slowly accelerate a moped with a driver whose weight differs significantly from the maximum permissible. To improve dynamics, experienced scooter riders often tune this model by trying to install a different piston and tinkering with the compression ratio.

Considering the purely utilitarian qualities of this model, one can also blame the Chinese designers. It is not clear why, under the rather interesting plastic body kit, a more capacious container could not fit under the seat. The rather modest volume of the luggage box does not allow it to accommodate not only a helmet, but also the minimum necessary set of travel accessories.

The shape of the platform under the driver's feet is also disappointing. The presence of a small tunnel does not allow stowing a bag or using this place to transport cargo. The owner of the Stingray will have to use a backpack or install a spacious trunk in the rear trunk.

To summarize, it should be noted that despite a number of these disadvantages, the model has a set of advantages and is characterized by increased reliability, which Chinese mopeds so often lack. The scooter is suitable for beginners and experienced drivers, and will delight them with quality workmanship, reliable brakes, cheap spare parts, nice design, and an affordable price!

Where to buy and how much it costs

The Stinger scooter was discontinued in 2011, so you won't be able to buy a new scooter. The price of used equipment ranges from $300 to $880. Specialized stores provide a guarantee for the purchase, and banking institutions are always ready to issue loans. Delivery is carried out by transport companies at the buyer's expense.

In Ukraine the prices are the same. Transportation is carried out by "Delivery", "In-Time" and others. You can get money for the purchase from PrivatBank.

The most forgotten Yenko. History of the Stinger Vega (1971-73)

Of all the cars created under the Yenko brand, only one production development has not achieved cult status. However, in comparison with their “charged” Camaro, Chevelle, Nova and even Corvair, the actual result of the Vega tuning program is also not impressive. Too many things went wrong as Don Yenko, and not only him, intended.

On paper, the Chevrolet Vega idea looked good. General Motors President Ed Cole wanted a low-cost car that could compete with the VW Beetle in quality and value, outperform the Toyota Corona in performance, and outsell the upcoming subcompact Ford Pinto. At the same time, the Vega was supposed to be for many buyers their first new Chevrolet and, thus, bring the brand's dealers new loyal customers who would be able to buy a more expensive car next time. To fulfill this ambitious plan, an atypical team for that time was assembled, fully responsible for the entire development - in fact, the best minds of the corporation. In the allotted time, the Vega created an innovative 4-cylinder engine with a linerless aluminum block, developed a rather elegant body in the style of the second generation Chevrolet Camaro, organized production at GM's newest exemplary plant in Lordstown (Ohio), and even introduced a unique transportation method.
