Enter the VIN of a Tank Sports scooter to read what the number says.
Enter the 17-character VIN of a Tank Sports scooter and the decoder reads the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture from it. Our data covers 17 Tank Sports models from the model years 2006 to 2010, from the newest entries such as Racer, Sporty, Touring and Trail to older names like Classic, Courier, Econo and Viaggio. Engine sizes in the data run from 49 to 257 cc, with a highest power of 19 hp.
The decoder does not show accidents, mileage, theft entries or previous owners, because none of that is stored in a VIN. That information comes from a vehicle history report.
A VIN has 17 characters, and the letters I, O and Q are never used. The first three characters identify the manufacturer and the country of manufacture. Characters 4 to 8 describe the machine itself, and each maker codes them in its own way, so they are not the same from brand to brand. Character 9 is a check digit, which is required in North America. Character 10 gives the model year, which for Tank Sports means somewhere between 2006 and 2010 in our data. Character 11 stands for the assembly plant, and characters 12 to 17 are the serial number.
On a 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, so compare the two. Our Tank Sports data includes scooters (10 models), custom / cruiser types (4), trial machines (2) and a single entry listed as minibike, sport. Whether you are checking an Urban 50 or a 250E, the VIN is read in the same way. If a machine only has a short frame number, it was probably built before 1981 and a VIN decoder cannot read it.
The decoder reads the number. A history report looks for the records tied to it.

It reads only the VIN itself, so you get the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture. Accidents, mileage, theft entries and owners are not part of a VIN.
Make sure the VIN stamped on the frame matches the plate and the registration papers, and that the characters look clean and untouched. Then compare the model year and engine size in the papers with what the seller tells you, since the data covers machines from 49 to 257 cc.
