Although I've heard rumors for awhile now, I just got official word.... PUMA CYCLES has decided to close doors.
They are offering dealers discounts on remaining 2012 and 2013 inventory. Dealers will get an additional $50 to offset warranty claims.
We've sold a bunch of Pumas and like the brand.

Well that just stinks. Gas prices are up again, Puma was Flyscooter II for Znen and now they're gone. Chinese scooters just can't seem to catch a break.
How are Bintelli and Wolf treating you?

Man, that sucks. Our 150 Puma is nicely built, finished off great, and three phase stator. I guess people just want a dirt cheap crate scooter and then bitch when they have to repair it. Go figure. Rich

Wow puma is shutting down. The puma valentine looks sweet no a guy that has one and it's been great to him. He bought it at hps. I need to check that place out some time. Never figured out were it is.

Yes, it's been coming for a while now. We're actually surprised it took them this long to make the announcement, because it actually was finalized months ago. Many distributors have come and gone over the last decade but the strong will survive and press on. We have been proud to welcome some Puma dealers to the Bintelli family, and will continue to do so.
If needed, we can also special order any parts needed for Puma models, to assist their prior dealers.
