This Dealernews article sheds light on Power Sports Factory’s dealings with the Andretti family, and PSF’s optimistic hopes of using the Andretti brand to sell Italian-designed, Qianjiang-built Benelli scooters in the U.S. PSF introduced three Benelli models in 2008 and ceased operations in October 2010. Plans to add more Benelli models and less-expensive “Yamati”-branded scooters to the Andretti line never materialized.
2strokebuzz famously (and luckily, gently) dropped an Andretti XT150 on an icy manhole, we still love the design and performance (when it chooses to run properly) but our test model still has an idle issue and the wiring and general build quality simply isn’t on par with similarly-priced Taiwanese scooters.
