I just bought a 2010 Ice Bear PST150-11 Trike. Had a great experience with the online dealer I bought it from. (Scooter Dynasty) Everything went will no issues at all!
However, now that I have it I find that the state of PA for some reason has issues with titling Chinese bikes with a VIN number that starts with the letter ’L’. Does anyone know the real reason? I don’t get it!
Yes I live in Lower Bucks County PA just north of Philadelphia. And, there are not many of these bikes here. However, I’ve been to Florida and other states for the most part warm weather vacation spots. And, these bikes are all over the place! So, if Florida can issue a title why can’t PA?
I WAS NOT TOLD THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE TITLE! However, I was sent thru the mill having to offer an etching of the VIN plate on the bike. Take pictures of the bike. Then after the process being told they cannot give me the registration and tag on the spot. That the MCO, etching of the VIN and the pictures needs to be turned into a special department at the DMV in Harrisburg. And, now I need to wait 4 to 8 weeks and the state will issue the title, registration and tag via snail mail.
I was assured by the title clerk at AAA that the state will issue all needed paperwork. That the issues the state had with the VIN numbers have passed. However, I called the DMV and spoke to someone and, they told me they know nothing about it!
To rap it all up! I spent hard earned money to buy something that I now cannot use (At least legal). I’ll need to wait one to two months! And for what? Issues the state ‘HAD’. Issues that people working at the state know nothing about!
Welcome to Russia!
(Thanx just wanted to vent in a place where there are people that care!)
