After the recent fiasco with ATVD, I was P.O.ed, and wanted a scooter, and I wanted it now. I called MrScooters, and voice mail was full, no email response(until today)... Received a PM from kz1000st, suggesting I give GSMotorworks a call... www.gsmotorworks.com/I did. Spoke to a very nice lady, explained what had happenned and was assured it wouldn't happen with them. She checked her inventory, had the color scoot and trunk I wanted, and told me if possible it would ship Friday, but definitely, on Monday. It shipped TODAY I verified the tracking #, and it was picked up by Old Dominion TODAY. THIS, is how business should be conducted. Not saying MrS wouldn't have done just as well, but GSMW got the call this time, and will be getting my next call also. I like doing business where things happen when, and as stated. ;D Thanks for the head's up JimV. Here a bone for ya, +1

Hi Kliff, Hope this one works out for you,I called ATVD shortly after you ordered I wasn't to impressed with them on the phone and chose to wait to see how you made out,Did you stop the transaction with them?I don't think I'll be dealing with them.I've seen better shipping times with fly by night companies on ebay,and I don't want to deal with them!Please keep us posted on how it works,I think companys that know people read forums like this might start dealing better,although ATVD does know,there reputation won't hold up for long treating people/customers like trash.

Yeah Shaggy, I called my CC Company directly, and filed a dispute. They creditted my account immediately after listning to the circumstances. I then notified Steve and Doug, via email, of my action, and decision. Steve called within 10 minutes, asking that I cancel the dispute, and accept an immediate refund from ATVD. I ultimately decided to let the dispute stand. I also had waited purposely, to fill out the Google Purchase survey, and put all the facts in it as well, just facts. I will NOT tell anyone to avoid ATVD, but for me, they had there chance. Now...to BETTER circumstance. I just checked the tracking # through Old Dominion's site, and the ETA for delivery is the 10th of Mar. Yup....TUESDAY! So far...GSMotorWorks [glow=red,2,300] ROCKS ![/glow] PS......have a bone Shaggy! +1

kliff, SWEET!!! What scoot did you order? I almost bought from them 2 years ago but I ended up with a rx150i from Valley Scooters. Post some pics when you get it, we can hardly wait when a new scoot comes to the pound.

Here a bone for ya, +1 I had a bad experience that led me to Right Way ATV, which for all intents and purposes is the same company as GSMotorworks. They both have the same address in Dallas and both sell the same stuff. I bought the 150 Euro and had the same satisfactory experience as you. My scooter arrived intact and and the few problems I've had have been dealt with promptly and courteously. Too bad you don't live closer to Atlanta...I would bribe you into some mechanical consulting. I am handy but I don't know what I'm doing till I do it. My motor runs pretty good but I think there is more diddi-up in it. I haven't done a valve adjustment and what I did to the carb made little to no difference. When I get a little stretch of free time I am going to try to figure this thing out and try to get more performance out of it but until then I am content. Good luck with your bike. I will post some pics soon.

Why did you go with a 10" tire model? . . . And what is your Bobber project?
BTW, you don't know how bad it pains me to know I spent $300 more dollars at Rightway ATV than would have spent at GSMotorworks if I bought the same model today.

This just goes to show you that it all depends on who takes your order and on what day at these dealers. When I was looking to buy a Scooter in October, I was originally going to buy from GSMotorworks/Right Way ATV's but I started reading a whole lot of negative feedback on them. I checked with the Dallas BBB and they had an "F" rating so I got scared off. I went and ordered from ATV Discounter and had great service from them and would buy again. So it just goes too show it all depends on who gets your order, on what day, and I guess what kind of mood they are in at the time!

This is where history study comes in handy. Most of the complaints I read about GS were from 2006. Now without pinning down anybody I get the impression they've cleaned up their act considerably or they were acquired by A&A Scooters, Inc. So instead of just operating out of somebody's basement they actually have a warehouse and Parts Department, selling the Eagle line. If you go to www.rightwayatv.com they have a video of their warehose and facilities. According to their customer service guy, John, it puts them one up on at least one online seller

Scoot #2, is on the way! Hot dayem!!!!!

Post by kliff on Apr 2, 2009 17:13:39 GMT -5
#2 scooter is in town! I'll pick it up at the terminal tomorrow. Yeah, home delivery is paid for by GSMW, but I'd rather just go get it, rather than waste time waiting...
Anyway.... in almost the exact time frame of that I wasted with ATVD, WAITING for a scooter to be shipped, which I finally cancelled, I have made 2 separate orders from GSMW, for 2 separate and differnt scooters, and RECEIVED them both! That's taking care of business.

Is that by chance a Znen? It looks a lot like my GSR minus the rear disc brake. The Box also said GSR, but maybe that's for GS motorworks. The trunk is also the same. Looks great, good luck with it!!

Very pretty kliff. Did it come assembled, or are you the fastest mechanic alive?

This one came assembled, on a pallet! All I did was uncover it, and roll it down my ramps..talk about surprised, but VERY pleased. If I'd known it was assembled, I'd have gone and gotten it yesterday, in the rain....LOL
