Flyscooters
Flyscooters, formerly known under the name Znen, was an American company that marketed gas-powered motor scooters manufactured in China and Taiwan. The company was founded in 2006 in Florida by scooter enthusiasts Leon Li and Daniel Pak, and ceased operations in 2010. During the operating life of the company, Flyscooters' basic business model was to import low-cost scooters from abroad (mostly the Chinese firm Zhongneng Industry Group (Znen)) and distribute them under the Fly brand name to a network of retail scooter dealerships across the United States, providing dealers with warranty and spare parts support. Flyscooters' main  marketing focus was the Internet, although the company attended industry events and trade shows and promoted their brand through other PR initiatives . Models. Scooters. Il Bello.

La Vie has locking under seat storage, pop-out passenger foot pegs, both a side and center stand, and a locking forward compartment.

La Vie riders are active on forums, participate in community rallies, and form clubs dedicated to Flyscooters, like Scooter Squadron.
