Enter the VIN of a Daelim scooter to read what the number says.
Enter the 17-character VIN of a Daelim scooter and the decoder shows the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. Our data holds 28 Daelim models from model years 1997 to 2025, from the newest, Besbi and Daystar 125, to older ones such as VS 125 and VT 125. Engine sizes in the data run from 49 to 249 cc, with a highest power of 25 hp.
The decoder reads only the VIN, so it says nothing about accidents, mileage, theft entries or previous owners. That information comes from a vehicle history report. The decoder itself is free and needs no registration.
A VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three identify the manufacturer and the country where the machine was built. Characters 4 to 8 describe the machine itself, and each maker codes them in its own way. Character 9 is a check digit, required in North America. Character 10 gives the model year, character 11 the assembly plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number. This is how the decoder arrives at the year for anything from a 1997 model to a 2025 one.
On a motorcycle or scooter the VIN is usually stamped into the frame, often near the steering head, and repeated on a plate or sticker. You will also find it in the registration papers. Our Daelim data starts at model year 1997, and 17-character VINs apply to vehicles built since 1981, so a model such as the Roadwin, S-One or Citi Ace should carry one. If the number you find is shorter, the decoder cannot read it, and the registration papers are the next place to look.
The decoder reads the number. A history report looks for the records tied to it.
Daelim history reportLook at the frame first, often near the steering head, where the number is stamped in. It is also printed on a plate or sticker and written in the registration papers. Compare the frame number with the papers before you type it in.
The first three characters identify the manufacturer and the country of manufacture. Characters 4 to 8 describe the machine, and the maker decides how they are coded. The decoder uses the start of the VIN to show you who built the scooter and where.
The 10th character of the VIN stands for the model year. Our Daelim data covers model years 1997 to 2025, and the decoder turns that character into the year for you. The model year is not always the same as the year of first registration.
It shows the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture, nothing more. A VIN does not contain accidents, mileage, theft entries or owners, so none of these can be read from the number alone.
Make sure the VIN on the frame matches the number in the registration papers and has 17 characters. Then check that the decoded model year fits the model and the engine size you were offered, which in our data ranges from 49 to 249 cc. Also look at the plate or sticker for signs of tampering.
