I think you'll be better off saving your money for a more established scooter brand personally. Many of the off-brands of scooters have very limited (if any) parts support and questionable build quality. Also, many established motorcycle and scooter dealers won't even touch a model that isn't from one of the more established brands due to the lack of parts or really bad build quality.
I've heard of some of these bikes only lasting a few hundred miles before an engine or major part fails. Would you rather spend a few hundred dollars more and have a bike that will last you 10,000+ miles or save the money now and blow it on repairs later?
Here are some of your more more established brands of scooters (in alphabetical order):
Aprilia
Bajaj
Genuine
Honda
Kymco
Piaggio
Suzuki
Vespa
Yamaha
When buying a scooter, I would stick to buying a new one from an established scooter or motorcycle dealer. You'll get a manufacturer's warranty, decent parts support and service, and you'll also be ensured that the bike is properly set-up.
You can get a new 50cc scooter from some of these brands in the $1500 to $1700 range before taxes and legal paperwork/licensing. Now is a great time to look since there's the model year-end season cutover and dealers are looking to get their 2008 models in and their 2006 and 2007 models out. Most of the major manufacturers also are offering fairly decent financing plans too.
When buying a used scooter, the same rules apply as you'd use when buying a used car, with the exception of really sticking to a decent brand of scooter. If you can't find a service history on the bike from the owner, run away...

I would not buy anything I can't identify, and this beast does not exist in the US market, at least not as a motor scooter. If you can touch the thing, like it is there and not off in cyberspace, lift the seat up and in there somewhere will be a metal tag that tells the name of the manufacturer, and also there will be a label or sticker that gives the name of the holder of the EPA certificate. Give us that info and we can at least know what you are looking at. Both of those items of ID are required for every scooter imported into the US for the last 5 years or so, so if they are not there, the bike is a 'gray market' i.e. smuggled in and illegal. It will be confiscated if ever found out by any law enforcement dept.
BE CAREFUL

I got nothing on this one!
It did google to some power chairs, but none were a brand called Kait.
I think you need to get some more information on this scooter before you get it. There has been a lot of no name scooters that are real junk, so buyer beware!

It's going cheap because it is an unheard of make -- beware !
Choose a popular brand, which will reward you with better re-sale value, availability of spares, etc....

I never heard of it.
That's one bad mark against it.
I just looked for it on the web.
It's a wheelchair for people that are incapacitated, not a motor vehicle.
