TGB (Taiwan Golden Bee Co) is coming to Canada courtesy of Canadian importer E-Ton, after being available in the States for several years. The product line for 2009 will consist of an ATV and five scooters; The R50X, the Laser 50/150 and the Delivery 50/150.

R50X

The R50X is a sporty fifty scooter using an air-cooled (with fan assist) two-stroke motor, fed by a 13mm Mikuni carb. Claimed horsepower is a heady 4.9 (@7,500 rpm) and it comes with electric and kick starting.

Suspension is said to be 'race tuned' (though we're not sure what that quite means) and wheels are 13 inchers with disc brakes front and back. Dry weight is a claimed 290 lbs.

MSRP is $3,099.00 and it's available in red, black or blue.

LASER 50/150

Laser comes in 50 or 150 format.

The Laser comes with a choice of engine sizes – A 49 cc air-cooled two stroke or a 151 cc air/oil-cooled four-stroke. Both motors are fed by carburetors, with the 50 pumping out a claimed 4.9 hp at 7,5000 rpm, while the 150 tops out at 10 hp at the same rpm.

Chassis are pretty similar, with the 150 getting twin shocks at the rear (as opposed to a single on the 50) and an inch bigger 13" wheels. Both bikes get a disk front and drum rear and come with electric and kick starters.

Claimed dry weight for the 50 is 91 kg (202 lbs), and 122 kg (269 lbs) for the 150. 

MSRP is $2,599.00 for the 50 and $3,450.00 for the 150. Colour options are blue, green, red or black.

DELIVERY 50/150

Holds up to 150 litres.

This is definitely one of the more funky scooter offerings out there thanks to a huge 150 litre cargo box integrated into the rear! Obviously this makes it ideal for pizza deliveries – it even comes with an optional electrically heated bag for the box, which is operated by a switch up front.

The box includes a moulded back rest with padding to ensure the rider is kept tres comfortable.

Available with two engine sizes – 49 cc two-stroke motor is air-cooled and delivers a claimed 4.9 hp, whereas the 151 cc is an air/oil-cooled four stroke with a claimed available 10.1 horses.

Gus (American) entered the 05 Mad Bastard with one!

The bikes are pretty similar save for 12" wheels on the 50 and 13" wheels on the 150 (although that seems to be in dispute as some sources reckon that they both come with 13" wheels ...).

Both bikes use a disk brake up front and a drum at the rear. Claimed dry weight for the 50 is 105 kilos (231 lbs) and 121 kilos (267 lbs) for the 150.

MSRP is $2,999.00 for the 50 and $3,699.00 for the 150. Colours are blue, red or yellow.

TGB , unreliable , brakes often , and manufacturer has no respect to the consumer and support warranty , unprofessional , people do not even understand the industry , stay away from TGB product , the customer is being a test pilot for there product, and when it comes for support , waiting list is forever...stay away , stay away , i have told you so Posted by unknown 2008-11-22 06:14 follwoing the comment above, i wonder if people who want to make any comment on specified prodcuts of certain barnd should indicate the type of the bike they have and probelm with it avoiding any misunderstanding from the other users or hurting others dealing in that products. in that way, consumer, dealer, importer or even manufactuer can do something in timely manner responding to your complaint. Posted by joseph wu 2008-12-16 06:44 If you wonder in regards TGB's reputation direct from consumer , you should visit Quebec and ask end buyers problems and manufacturers support , customers like me do not know how to get off from TGB i can not even sell no one wants to buy , i have spent all summer at dealers to try to fix the scooter everyday for the same problems i can publish if you want the visitation work orders and warranty that has not been respected , and as many TGB customers you want to see like me Posted by unknown 2008-12-28 10:50
