It came all scratched up from the metal crate being broken from being picked up with a forklift while not on a pallet. I sent it back and they want to charge ME for the return shipping fees! Now that speeedy is a vendor, wonder if "what goes around, comes around" . . thread link.

I sent it back and they want to charge ME for the return shipping fees! I will NEVER complete a transaction like this outside of ebay and paypal again! This is ebay's policy for selling outside of ebay. "If a member offers to buy or sell an item outside of eBay, report the member to us. To avoid fraud, we recommend that you don't pay for items outside of eBay. To pay for an item, click Pay Now and use our Checkout system to complete the purchase. If the seller wants to change payment methods after a listing ends, you can insist on paying using one of the methods mentioned in the listing. You should never pay using Western Union, MoneyGram, or any other instant cash wire transfer services, and sellers aren't allowed to ask you to pay with these services. Instant cash wire transer services are difficult to trace and provide no protection if the item isn't delivered. " Jim

I received a ZNEN 150 Riviera model from Valley Scooters. Lots to like about the entire experience :
1. John D. was on top of the transaction from start to finish and I was never in the dark. 2. Shipping was fast. 3. Liftgate service was good. I live at the end of a cul de sac and the driver backed a big trailer all the way down. 4. Scoot arrived in great shape with handlebars and front wheel installed. 5. Motorino/ZNEN is truly head and shoulders above the rest of the Chinese scooter manufacturers. For the price, I believe they are the best buy, bar none.
Notes on the Riviera Model: 1. Pictures on the web don't do it justice, this is a very stylish scooter. For example, the tail light and headlight lens and trim are really cool. 2. Delighted with the switches and controls. 3. Love the 12" wheels. 4. Braking is excellent, front and rear discs. I've had other Chinese scoots and I selected this one because it did NOT have a rear drum. It was a good choice. 5. Overall fit and finish is far better than other Chinese scoots I've had in the past.
Tip: I had to prime the vacuum fuel pump to get her to wake up. I detached the fuel hose out of the filter (leads directly into the pump) and injected 1/2 or 2/3 of a cup of gas into the pump. Cranked right up after that.

First let me say, I have no personal or financial connection in ViperMotorsports other then purchasing my scooter there. I purchased a new 2008 Linhai 300 from Jim J. at ViperMotorsports. I have been very happy with the entire process. The price was right.The delivery was timely, communication has been excellent, concern for me as a customer is great. Any small issues have been dealt with promptly. If you are looking for an online scooter dealer that will be there if you need help, I believe this is the place to buy your machine. I know you will be happy with Jim J. at ViperMptorsports. I have been riding two wheelers for 57 years and must say, this Linhai is a fine machine. Ron Lee Tucson, AZ

Scooter: Baccio MC-150T 2011 Bought: online Company: Deeeals Inc LLC DBA Powersportsmax Purchase Experience: 1/10 Price: $599+239 for shipping Pros of Scoot: Inexpensive, very good frame, good components, Bando drivebelt, nice color, projector headlights Cons of Scoot: nothing so far Pros of Method: nothing. After initial order, communication impossible (does not respond to emails or phone calls, answers phone then immediately hangs up) Cons of Method: bought sight unseen. Sent file photos of bike, claimed they were actual photos. Packaged bike in non-secure way, bike arrived damaged. Misrepresented damages at time of sale. Attempted to blame me personally for damages incurred in shipping, even after the shipper took responsibility for damages. Refuse to replace damaged body plastics. Bike arrived with hole in battery, no battery box, covered in spilled acid, with side panels completely detached from bike, and both mirrors snapped off laying in bottom of wooden crate. Bike was laying on it's right side in packing crate Link: Notes: Disreputable company. Unprofessional. Poor knowledge of stock/models/makes or their products. Bad customer service, bad shipping practices (badly packed, improper crating, poor load protection in shipping crate). Bad communication in general.
Avoid this company at ALL COSTS!! Would never do business with them again!

hello everyone, 2 years ago I bought a Eagle 150cc scooter from eaglemotorsports.com It was a disaster! The compression was out of whack, alarm stopped working, remote starter stopped working, exhaust fell off, battery died, fuel leaked, serpentine belt snapped, overall it was a nightmare for me. I am waiting on a delivery now from Powerrideoutlet.com out of California. I did alot of research this time and feel pretty confident about the 150cc Rocketta scooter I purchased. It has a 1 year warranty, free pdi, and was $999.00 with taxes and all. I hope this scooter gives me no hassles. Its nice to have a site like this to ask questions and read peoples experiences. Hope is the key! Lol

Scooter 2012 Tao Tao ATM 150A Bought online from a Minnesota dealer. They have been very accomodating so far.
Said I will have the parts in 5 to 7 days Shipped from TAO TAO USA, Carrollton, TX Purchase experience 10 Price $950 delivered. Pros of scoot --none so far. Cons of scoot--It arrived with the left rear shock missing-Broken off the top mount. The storage compartment under the seat had a 5" rip in it. The inner rear fender had a 4" cut in it. The bag for the fasteners was ripped open and empty. The left brake handle was broken. The owners manual and the decal sheet were mutilated. Would I buy a Tao Tao again? No way in hell.
Is this a fluke or is TAO TAO junk?
Any replies appreciated.
