Satisfied tank scooters customers admit that there are better but expensive brands, but still tank scooters are taking strides to be at par with its other Asian and European counterparts. Since these scooters are ideal for short trips, these must serve the purpose adequately.

If one particular Chinese scooter brand has made a boo-boo, then Tank scooters are out to prove that Chinese scooters can be at par with better or expensive brands.
