Yes, if's a fairly common scooter and one of the better ones. It's actually classified as a moped here in Texas. You can get a fair amount of performance parts for it...from what I understand.

I read someplace that the marque is from Taiwan, but is actually manufactired in (Spartanburg?) South Carolina.

Anyone have any information on this?

Cyberian,
The distrubitor for E-Ton is in Spartanburg, but they are made in Taiwan.

I can get stock and performance parts for them.

Cyberian,
ZX-50 is not mentioned? Do you know if this bike has a different name in other countries??

tumbleweed -

I know you didn't ask me, but here is a little bit of information on Kymco:
They are based in Taiwan and have been around since 1963. They built engines for Honda for around 30 years, and now build their own Scooters and small Motorcycles.
The brand is well respected in the Scooter community (http://www.scooterbbs.com/) and has a pretty wide range of bikes available. Kymco USA has an extensive US dealership network, and they offer a 2-year warranty on their new bikes.
No, I don't work for them, but I did buy a used one a couple of months ago and I am quite pleased with it.
I also checked all of this out before I bought mine.
