Badge twins: the other names your scooter was sold under
The same machine was sold under other names. Those names are extra search terms, and this is where you write them down.

The problem it solves
When a part is not listed for your badge, the search usually stops. But the badge belongs to whoever imported the machine, and the same factory supplied many importers — so the part may well be listed, under a name you have never heard of.
This is the sheet that connects the printable library to the registry, and it exists because of one fact about this market: the name on the bodywork identifies the company that brought the machine into the country, not the company that built it. One Chinese factory supplied dozens of American importers, often simultaneously.
That means every machine has badge twins — other names under which very similar machines were sold. They are not guaranteed to share any given part, and this sheet says so repeatedly. What they are is additional search terms, which is exactly what you need when your own badge returns nothing.
Fill this in once from the registry and keep it with the machine. The next time a search comes back empty you have half a dozen more things to try instead of giving up.
The mistakes this sheet exists to prevent
- Treating a badge twin as a guarantee of fitment. It is a search lead and nothing more.
- Searching only your own badge and concluding a part does not exist.
- Recording the twin brands but not the engine family number, which is what makes the list meaningful.
- Assuming twins share bodywork. Engines are shared far more often than panels are.
- Passing the list on as a compatibility chart, which is how bad fitment information spreads.
Who it is for
- Anyone whose badge returns nothing when searched for parts
- Owners of a brand that no longer exists
- Anyone who wants a list of extra search terms to keep with the machine
What is on it
- A block for your own machine's factory and engine family
- Space for the twin brands, with what you found under each
- A search-term builder that combines names with measurements
- The warning that has to accompany the list
How to use it
- 01Look your machine up in the registry first — the twins come from the factory, not from guesswork.
- 02Write the twin brands down, then search each one for the part you need.
- 03Record what you found under each, including the dead ends.
- 04Always confirm by measurement before ordering. A shared factory is not a shared part.
