A Commitment to Quality and Safety

ā€œAt Altus, we are dedicated to providing scooter repair mechanics with products that prioritize safety, longevity, and exceptional value without raising product price. Our focus on innovation ensures that our replacement parts not only meet but exceed industry standards, empowering mechanics to deliver reliable repairs with products that bring high levels of customer satisfaction.ā€ - Altus CEO Lawrence Chen

This commitment drives Altus Scooter & Motorcycle Partsā„¢, a Taiwanese company founded in 1997, to continuously enhance its product offerings for scooter and motorcycle repair professionals.


Nitrile-Based Fuel Lines: Elevating Safety and Longevity

Altus incorporates nitrile-based (NBR) fuel lines into its fuel pump assemblies to deliver superior performance and durability. Unlike typical industrial rubber fuel lines, NBR offers enhanced resistance to gasoline, including ethanol blends like E10 and E15, which can degrade standard rubber over time. NBR’s chemical structure minimizes swelling and softening, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring safer operation in high-heat engine environments. These fuel lines can withstand temperatures up to 150°C (302°F), and high-acrylonitrile NBR variants extend this to 175°C (347°F), significantly outlasting standard rubber lines that often degrade at 120–150°C.


This durability translates into tangible benefits for scooter repair mechanics.

By using Altus’s NBR-equipped fuel pump assemblies, mechanics can offer customers reliable, long-lasting repairs, typically extending service life to 10–15 years compared to 5–10 years for standard rubber lines. This reliability also enhances mechanics’ reputations, as customers value repairs that reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

Remarkably, Altus maintains affordability despite using premium NBR. CEO Lawrence Chen’s strategic negotiations with suppliers secure low-cost NBR fuel lines, allowing Altus to offer these high-quality assemblies without increasing prices, ensuring exceptional value for mechanics.


Cooling Vents in Fuel Pump Plastic Frames: Boosting Performance and Longevity

Altus has recently begun to introduce cooling vents in the high-quality POM-based plastic frames housing its fuel pump cores. Scooter fuel pumps rely on fuel within the tank to dissipate heat, and without adequate cooling, performance and longevity can suffer. The vented design allows better fuel flow around the pump core, reducing operating temperatures and enhancing efficiency. Compared to many OEM fuel pump frame assemblies that lack such vents,

While not yet available on all Altus products, this photo shows an example of large cooling vents on select fuel pump assemblies. This feature helps keep the pump core cool in hot climates, lengthening its service life.

Altus’s design ensures cooler operation, which extends pump life and maintains consistent performance under demanding conditions.


The POM (polyoxymethylene) plastic in these frames is a key factor in their success. Known for its high strength and thermal stability, the higher-grade POM that Altus uses maintains structural integrity despite the addition of vent holes. This is compared to weaker OEM plastics that might compromise durability. This robust material ensures the frames withstand the rigors of long-term use without cracking or deforming.


Despite the high-grade POM’s superior properties, Altus keeps costs competitive. By optimizing manufacturing processes, Altus delivers these advanced fuel pump assemblies at prices comparable to standard OEM parts, providing mechanics with cost-effective, high-performance solutions that make their customers happy.


Conclusion: Delivering Value, Safety, and Longevity

Altus’s use of nitrile-based fuel lines and vented high-grade POM-based plastic frames exemplifies its commitment to product value, safety, and longevity. NBR fuel lines enhance safety by resisting fuel degradation and high temperatures, while vented POM frames improve fuel pump performance and durability. These innovations enable scooter repair mechanics to provide reliable, long-lasting repairs without incurring higher costs, reinforcing Altus’s reputation as a trusted partner in the industry.
