Mismatched vin numbers on new scoot ? By catman25 (Read 1,629 times)

Hello. Got my scooter from power ride outlet. Now waiting for the paperwork. But did try to put insurance on it using the vin numbers. But I notice there are 2 different numbers. One is on frame another is on that little plate thing attached to the frame. Any tips where I could find another one in the scoot ? I called power ride outlet and they are contacting the manufacturer. I really dont trust them. They are like send us the pictures so I did and I ended up calling then back 5 min before they close. And they just said we dont have a answer back ? So I'm slightly poed. Any suggestions



Here's a pic of the final ride though.

Send them an email so you have a written record of the conversation,,, that way they can't say " we never said that ",,, wait for the paperwork,,, it will probably have the frame number,,, then request a new plate,,,, with the correct number ( frame number) on it,,, number 9 probably has number threes plate ,,

So you would go more to the frame having the right number? Is the vin usually only on one spot on the frame ? Thanks for the words u dont know how mad I is :/

A plate can be changed with two pop rivets ,,, way more difficult to change frame numbers,,,you'll sort it,,,oh I meant to say earlier very nice scoot,,,good job

The DMV will use the frame as the legitimate number, the frame is what is actually registered on all two wheeled vehicles. So long as the frame matches the title, you can remove that erroneous plate. If the frame doesn't match the title, you will have a legitimate complaint. At that point, you can tell the dealer you will be contacting their licensing agency if they don't fix the issue. You must give them time to respond in good faith, so don't be too impatient.

Just got off the phone ! The vin number they had in their system is wrong ! They said always go by the frame vin# they are expediting my paperwork out as a sry for all the issues. They also told me the manufacturer is sending me the proper plate . so looks like I need to go this wkend with out riding but .... Hopefully I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Right on! There are few times you feel as good as you do walking out of the DMV with your new ride all papered up. Hope you enjoy the ride!

Is it difficult to start turning/leaning with a square rear wheel like that?
