Tao Motor Pony 50 Gas Scooter vs HHH Pony 50cc Gas Street Scooter

Both are 49cc four-stroke scooters built on the same Pony 50 platform, so the choice comes down to small hardware differences. The Tao Motor Pony 50 lists hydraulic disc brakes front and rear and a 25 mph rated top speed, while the HHH Supermach MP50-02 claims 2.1 HP, a 110 mpg figure and a matching trunk, but pairs a front disc with a rear drum. Owners of both rate them 4.1 out of 5, and the recurring complaints are the same: crate assembly, carb tuning and valve checks. Buy the Tao Motor for the stronger brake setup; buy the HHH if you want the trunk and the higher horsepower claim.

• Choose the Tao Motor Pony 50 if you want dual hydraulic disc brakes and a scooter sold as DOT and CARB approved for California.
• Choose the HHH MP50-02 if you want a matching trunk included, a 2.1 HP rating and a 110 mpg claim, and you do not live in California.
