Anybody hear of these folks? T-Motorsports has some no-reserve auctions with very low starting bids on eBay under the user id: gold3288gold

Well all I can say is they have some bad reviews, complaints about parts not gotten etc.. No service they just sell then your on your own. They probably got the scoots Cheap from a guy that went out of business Like CountyMotorsports. They had a load of stuff when they closed and he took all the products and had them in his yard and inside his house. So I would not buy from him unless you can fix your own scoot and able to get parts for that scoot from other dealers.

His scooters may be a good deal for me. My local dealer will work on any Chinascoot. Since all the Chinese assemblers rip each other off, is it safe to assume parts are interchangeable?
I'd say that once the total bid and shipping gets to $600, it is no longer a killer deal because some online stores have free shipping.

"Most" 50cc scoots are built with the same motor, electrical, and chassis parts, just different plastics. So you should be fairly safe with interchangeablity.
Good Luck

I had a bad experiance with them trying to get a new rear hub for my LF200, he stayed in contact till I paid and then once I did that I didnt hear back on anything for 3 weeks and took another 2 weeks just for him to pay attention and thats only when I flagged his sellers account..... I think it took two months to get that part.

I bought a scooter from them on ebay. It came with a warped rear wheel. I had to threaten to leave nevative feedback to get them to agree to send a new one. I had to pay for shipping both ways and didn't get my scoot riding until over 2 months after purchase due to their slow shipping of the replacement wheel. I like the scooter but I wouldn't buy from them again.

No, it was actually a full face. I'm pretty happy with the quality but I'm not an expert on helmets or anything.

I have purchased a Lifan 250cc clone of Virago 250cc, a 150cc Jmstar scooter , a 49cc 4 wheeler from T-motor sports. Allways had good telephone response from them. Never had any trouble with what I purchased from them. With me they are 100 % reliable!!

I bought a 250cc Shanghai Shenke from them last November on Ebay, for around $1,000 delivered. I only recently got it working, had to pull the carb and clean out the jets -- they were clogged from extensive storage. Works like a champ now.
In looking at this newly found forum, guess I need to replace the coolant too.
But really, no problems with them. I pretty much knew what I was in for considering the cheap price I got. Wasn't expecting any support from them, so I didn't bother asking for any. At worst, I figured I'd bought a $1,000 project. Am pleasantly surprised now.

bought my scoot from them.....NO issues whatsoever EXCEPT they can't speak english for sh*t!!
paperwork came 3 days after i got the scoot and registering it here in NY (witch has pretty strict rules on scooters) was a snap
i've had minor chinese scooter issues.....horn switch, front disk....blah blah blah.....fixed with no added expense or major headaches
I'd buy from them again honestly
ohhh and the best part.....i got a 2010 scooter with a 2007 1P39QMB engine!!! 63cc!!! NICEEEE

They are scam artists. I ordered a new "150cc" engine from them, but when I received the engine it said 139qmb on the box. Knowing that the 139qmb is a 50cc I immediately called. I was assured that the engine I got was a 150 and the box must be mislabled. So I installed the engine and later found out it is a 50 bored out to an 80. They refused to cooperate or fix the problem so I'm in the process of getting my money back through paypal.

I bought my Helmet and my wifes helmet from them... my helmet took 3 weeks to come in. wives took 5 days... that was a little annoying.
I gave them negative feedback and they said if i agreed to change it they would refund me shipping... i changed the feedback and im pretty sure i never got my shipping back.

i also got a 125 though they advertised and my receipt reflects that it should have been a 150.
they don't know sh!t about what they sell.they need pictures of parts because they know not what you say on the phone or e-mail. do not expect any tech support. they really have no clue, just an internet business.
this just happened to me and after reading the earlier comment on getting a 125, i checked and sure enough thats what i got.
i guess i'm about to go a few rounds with them and see what happens.

This sucks, Im moments away from buying theyre long case 150 engine at 300$ shipped, But "You get what you pay for" I just hope its actually a 150. I wonder if they even actually carry the 150 engine to sell. Should I call or Email them before my purchase an note that it better not be a bored out 139qmb or a 125cc?

I purchased a scooter from them for my son...a MPBD50QT -3. It arrived with no manual and missing parts. After putting it together, we found that the fuel gauge does not work, the fuel tank has a very bad leak, and then we started the motor and after running for about 30 seconds, it runs extremely rough at anything above an idle. After it cools down, it runs fine again untill it gets warm. They want me to pay to ship this scooter from Michigan to California in order to get a refund AND they will NOT return my $200 deposit made at the time I bought it off of E-Bay. Their e-bay user name is "gold3288gold" do NOT buy from these people. They do NOT stand behind what they sell! Now I am left with a brand new P.O.S. that my son has not been able to ride once and I am going to have to take it in to a mechanic.

Ice brew,
I would take it back to whoever did the prep for you. SOunds like they did not do a very good job. Fuel sensor often needs to be repositioned on a new scooter, lines are sometimes loose, carbs need to be adjusted. Sounds like the mechanic you hired is clueless.

File an ebay complaint, if you paid for it through paypal, complain to them also. You may be abel to get all your money back throuh paypal if you move fast enough.

The fuel filter was also on backwards on mine to. I prepped the scooter myself. I found 2 wires that were switched on a connector for the fuel sending unit. Got that fixed. Like I said, if I let it sit for a couple minutes, it fires up and runs great, then after about 30 seconds, it will idle great but anything above an idle, it runs rough and will stall. I pulled the plug and it was dry at this point. Tells me it's running lean. I took the carb off and checked it out. Everything looks great. If I put my hand over the face of the carb at this point, I would expect it to pick up a little forcing more fuel into the motor. It doesn't. However as my hand is over the face of the carb, it is getting wet from gas. I have a claim through paypal but they are saying that I am responsible for the cost to ship it back. I also made a $200 deposit at the time of purchase and they are saying that I can not reclaim that either. They are offering me $50 to change my feedback on eBay and drop the claim. That would not even cover the repair of the leaking gas tank! Any other ideas would be appreciated.
