Customer Reviews

This product is manufactured by "x-treme scooters." We ordered one and it arrived with numerous problems (poor packaging causing container damage during delivery, poorly worded and pictured assembly manual, loose parts in the bottom of the box, etc.). But the biggest problem was that it had at least two major manufacturing defects that rendered the scooter unusable and ultimately unsafe if operated. We immediately packaged it up and attempted to return it. The seller (Scooter Jones)disclaimed ANY responsibility. He referred us to the manufacturer. After repeated attempts to contact the manufacturer, they finally responded with their "warranty." They "warrant" parts for 30 days after delivery. They do not warrant the engine at all (not our problem - we never got to the point to start it). The parts they do warrant will be sent to the purchaser at the cost to the manufacturer ONCE during the warranty period. If they don't work or if you have further problems, the consumer has to pay for shipping. So far, we have waited 3 weeks and they have not even attempted to send us parts. It doesn't matter anyway, the parts that we need to make the scooter work require technical ability beyond my capability to remove and replace. Thus, the warranty is totally useless. Don't buy this scooter!

When the scooter arrived, it came loosely packed and with a jumble of stuff. The directions were for a similar model, and didn't mention anything about installation of the gas tank, and other important things. After figuring out on my own how to mount the tank and fuel lines, 2, I couldn't get the engine to start. After much trial and error, I realized the carburetor casing had been labeled wrong, with the choke "on" and "off" labels reversed. After many pulls, I got it started and running ok. When riding I realized the handlebars would slip when turning the front wheel, a serious problem. To fix this I put a hose clamp over the connection between the handlebar pipe and the top of the wheel fork. After this the slippage was minimal. Braking wasn't tight but decent. After the adjustments everything ran smoothly and the scooter performed excellently. Unfortunately one day when I was riding one of the fork pieces holding the rear wheel on cracked and caused the wheel to come clean off the scooter. I lost control and skidded down the road to a complete stop. I was not going fast at the time and was not injured. After that the scooter was in non working condition, due to the cracked wheel fork. Please know that this scooter can be very hazardous, and if you do buy one check for any signs of stress or damage to prevent an accident.
