Hey Y'all,
Found a brick and mortar dealer close by that deals in Diamo scooters. Don't know anything about them though.
Any thoughts/ideas/comments?? Appreciate the input
thanks and ride safe

Diamos are top quality scoots. On par with Strada or United Motors. Since they are dealer only they are a little pricey but they have agood warranty and dealer support. I have a dealer near me but didn't want to save up for the rest of the summer so I bought the Primo online. I have a new rule all toys are cash only!

You probably already saw it but in case you didn't, I interviewed Matt Solo, President of Diamo. www.scootdawg.com/page35The only negative I can say is that he said he was going to send some product to review and then never followed through. Oh well. |

The only negative I've heard is fit and finish, but considering what parts are under the skin, at least on the 150, I could over look fit and finish issues, since my scooter is my sole transport, so it'd better be reliable.

I agree with Javarod the Diamo Tracers' bodywork I looked at seemed a tad wimpy but the Fury's my dealer had were very solid. I liked the 200cc enduro's quality and the little kids four wheelers were very rugged. Maybee the lone Tracer he had was a fluke  Aaron |

I looked all the Diamo models over at the Expo. They all looked pretty decent to me.

Mmmm, that was from a person on the ScootBBS, and maybe it was a fluke. No real matter considering the specs on the 150 Retro, Sym motor (http://www.sym.com.tw/eng/index.php# ), Kymco designed suspension, Gates belt, even a name brand battery. Very impressive, short of a build quality that results in it shedding body parts when I'm riding, I could certainly live with a $2200 scooter built with parts like this.
