I am 6'2" and it lowers it 3" and moves it back almost 2". Between that and some foot pegs, I should be much more comfortable. That's the thinking anyway.

Alright peoples. So far so good. I have ridden the scooter a total of about 35 miles since I got it assembled yesterday. So far so good. My only complaint is that this thing is a wanker to keep idling when it is cold started. Which I have done anything to the carb other than turning the idle up a hair. Will keep everyone posted!

Please link us to the site you got it from . John www.megamotormadness.com/product/sco038-150cc-scooterIt is sold as a "Beazer", however I recieved an IceBear 150cc. Runs good so far. Only rode it around the parking lot at work, but is smooth and peppy. Will ride it home tonight. I will warn you that I ordered on Sept 24th and just received it today. MegaMotorMadness was not the most user friendly company, but they offer price matching and senior, student, and Military discounts. Bike came packaged very well and in perfect shape. We also sell this machine as well as anything offered on the Ice Bear website. We also sell anything that is on the Ice Bear wholsale website www.icebearatv.com. Why some dropshippers have to change the names of the machines is beyond me. Yes MMM does offer a lot of discounts but I have customers that have bought from them and have a very difficult time getting customer service out of them. There are aslo some not so nice reviews about them. Good luck with your new scooter hope you enjoy it

In the recent weeks of scooter discovery it would seem that your company seems to have a pretty good reputation. MMM was a pain in the arse to be quite honest, and their customer service was poor to say the least. I'm not one to write bad reviews and talk smack, but when I give you $1,000 I expect to be kept in the loop. I understand shipping delays and what not... but don't just blatantly ignore my emails until I finally have to send you a rude one to get a response. That's pretty much what happened. Lessen learned though.

Lessen learned though. I am sorry that one of my fellow Ice Bear dealers was such a pain in the butt. It gives Ice Bear a bad name when stuff like this happens, people are quick to say it is an Ice Bear issue, when in fact it is the DEALER's issue. The only time that I have had shipping delays is when the customer wants the PDI and assembly done before it ships, and sometimes there are delays. The difference is I keep my customer in the loop as to what is happening, I don't wait until I get a nasty email to let them know what is going on, as soon as I know, the customer knows. In fact just had it happen. I have said it time and time again, no matter who you may want to buy from, do your reseach, check the BBB, internet complaints and forums. Then make a call to the company and get a feel for who you are dealing with. I have worked very hard to get the rating I have, perferred dealer status from Ice Bear and the praise I have gotten on the forums from folks who I have dealt with. Where I may not be able to match the prices of some of these big box dealers, they can not even come close to matching my tech support and customer service. Heck, some of these so called dealers have never even seen what they sell, let alone work on them. I get phone calls everyday from people who have called their "Dealer" for assitance, don't get it, so they call Ice Bear direct and IB refers them to me to help them. Hope you have fun with your Ice Bear scooter!

That's the reason I first came here. To learn before I burn. And decided to stick around for the most info as possible. Along with a few laughs.

Something else do is google map their location. If it's a house in the suburbs, I begin to wonder. If they have a brick and mortar place, then it should have some self respect in it's appearance. Found one out of a garage once, but the place was beautiful and it was a country setting. LOL

I'll second and concur with Jim. When I ordered mine, thru Jim, he did in fact keep me informed every step of the way. I did have couple little issues, but they were handled immediately and I was a happy rider. Qhen I buy again, guess who I'm goin thru?
