I know there are a couple of Extreme scooters out there incuding one with Xtreme.. I saw a scooter I would like to get on their site but want to know before I buy their reputation. I tried to call their owner to ask for his imput, but have not received a call back.. Has anyone dealt with this company before?? I think the owner is David Berg or something like that..

Use caution. The site lists bikes that I thought were no longer available, and a copyright date of 2008.

Can you tell me what you recommend not to buy from them?? They seem to have the best prices on 250cc scooters.. Is it the pay for what you get??

Justguy1,
I guess you have one reason already NO CALL BACK, that gives you a good and warm fuzzy feeling right there. Think about what will happen if you order and you get a scoot that has been sitting outside already parts rusting and or broken pieces. Do you think he will answer your calls for warranty parts and or replacement parts?

I just purchased a Roketa MC-54-250B scooter from Dave at Extreme-Scooters.com. Placed order on Friday, April 1, 2011, paid via Bank transfer on Saturday, April 2. Scooter delivered to Virginia on Monday, April 11.
Dave has replied to every single one of my numerous emails both pre and post sale and I have talked to him on the phone 3 times.
There are a few issues that need to be taken care of (none of which are Dave's fault) and so far he has been very responsive post sale. I guess we'll see if the issues actually get resolved, but so far I have no complaints about Dave's customer service level.
Just my 2 cents. I purchased from Extreme-scooters.com because it was the only place I could find the exact model in the exact color that I preferred.
I'll keep you posted on the status of issues so you can make an informed decision.

Lucky you .. I have called them 3 times and have not to receive one phone call back. So I gave up.. I was going to buy the roketa as well from him, but from what I understand they can't be registered here in Florida so kind of glad I didn't get it..

Received my Certificate of Origin yesterday, just 4 days after delivery. Outstanding.
Try contacting Dave through email. He typically answers between midnight and 3am EST, but he answers. His address is sales@extreme-scooters.com.
Bummer about not being able to register it in Florida. I think it's the same for California. Is it because of emissions standards? I'm sure that's probably the case in CA, but Florida?

I get really nervous when I see an extremely positive reply about a business from a newbie whose only 2 posts are in response to a dealer. Not saying she is wrong but makes me wonder. So I looked up the company on the BBB. www.bbb.org/central-georgia/business-reviews/recreational-vehicles-dealers/extreme-scooters-in-centerville-ga-8715 Of particular note is this: The BBB has requested basic information from this company. The BBB has not received a response. Without this information, the BBB may not have current information concerning such things as the company's management or its nature of business. I also get nervous when a company doesn't return phone calls. I have not done business with the company but, I see to many red flags. As I always say, do your homework before you commit your hard earned money. Jim |

As I said in my reply, " not saying she is wrong but make me wonder". I wonder a lot LOL. That is why I do a lot of research before I post anything or buy anything. We did a lot of research on distributors before we bought from them. Same goes with parts companies. If they didn't answer the phone or return phone calls we crossed them off our list. We also checked with other dealers to see what they had to say about the distributors we talked too. You can tell a great deal about a company with a few minutes on the phone. The BBB is another great resource for information not just complaints. You need to read the complaints and sort them out. Some just complain to complain. Glad you had a good experience, seems others have not been so lucky. Jim/Owner Rapid Repair |

I think it is obvious that it is a part time side job if he only response between 12: and 3:AM est time, and all he does it takes the order and calls his distributor. All you have to do is ask the drop shipper where it came from and you will find that it came from the west coast. I have not heard of any East Coast Importers or Distributors I believe they are all in CA.
So the scoot you get he never even sees, so hope that whatever arrives is in good shape and has not been banged up in the warehouse or shipping, this is not rocket science.

Lefty Well I do not know about that. I am self employed and a lot of times the only time I have to respond to emails is after midnight. Owning your own business does not mean you only work 9 to 5. On the phone thing. Can't say. I carry my cell on me except when I am sleeping and that is the number you call to get me anytime. And I don't sell scooters. I print t-shirts. |

I bought my MC-13-250( Bali scooter) from Extreme-scooters.com and he done me good too. I got 4300 miles on it and it still runs great. My thoughts, is Dave is a businessman. He does not inspect the scooters he sales. People can get a good one or a bad one. He is only a drop shipping, meaning you order through him out of Georgia and he call Ontario CA to place order with Goldenvale known as Roketa. That how most online dealers work. Attachments:

Noticed that the lady paid by Wire Transfer WHICH IS NO NO when buying something. If the person is a scammer you would be out of the money with no recourse. Always pay with a Credit Card.
