Thanks for the plug doc. We have many items on special and even more coming. As we import more of our our own parts prices on many items are getting lower as the stock arrives. If you set up an account make sure you email us and tell us you are from scooterdoc so that you get the 10% discount applied to your account.

Yep, I can vouch for them I have ordered parts form them as well I am in the Burbs of Chi. I was going to take a ride there but just ordered off their site. On one order their was mistake with the price wasn't much at all like a buck fifty or something called them and talked to someone then the owner or manager got on and NO PROBLEM he got it straightened out as we were speaking.

Absolutely Scooter is Absolutely perfect. I can vouch for Dave and his service. So far I have purchased two sets of sliders, CDI, and a coil. The great part is that you can see what is in stock or not in stock and the prices are great. $39.99 for a cdi on a 250 cc scooter is unheard of. Shipping is fast as I get most items within 3 days. Dave will go out of his way to answer any questions you might have about a product.

Thanks guys, somehow I missed these kudos, been a nutty year. Hello Absolute Scooters, I'm Patty. Just a new girl in town just passing by. I am actually from Alaska, here visiting my husbands family in Chicago. Anyway, I have a Vespa, back home. I was looking at some of your Chinese scooters and clicking on some of these banners up top of the page. You see back home we dont have much of the cheap Chinese scooters. I just think Vespa scooters are more reliable. But my daughter does like them and me and my husband are looking to get her one. My husband wants to buy some performance parts to take home if we do get this Chinese scooter for our daughter. I was wondering, I am not too mechanically inclined. One of my hobbies is shopping, so I get to compare prices on everything I buy. I was comparing prices from the vendors on this website. Some seem to be extremely expensive. I took a look a Absolutely Scooters and there prices are extremely higher than ScooterElements. What is the difference in prices. Isn't it the same product? Is ScooterElement trying to take way customers from Absolutely Scooter? We have stores like these in Alaska that sell there parts at below cost, making a very tiny profit margins, just to win over customers. Actually what they do is hurt the scooter industry. I also checkout Kidsmekart, nice website. They have lots of parts. Carburetors are a big issue in Alaska, sometimes hard to find. Kidsmekart has a carburator for $193.00 and ScooterElement has it for $135.00. Thats $60 less. Someone is making no money. And eventually, this hurts the market. I think the admin of this forum should look into the websites before letting them advertise there products. Websites like ScooterElement hurt businesses like Absolutely Scooters, and Kidsmekart. I hate these kind of fly by night businesses that give away there products. I know, my girlfriend back home had this same problem, almost destroyed her business. She literally took on a second job to keep her business going. Anyway, I will be here in Chicago for a few months before going back home, so if you have any suggections or good offer. Please leave here. I will come back and check. Thank you dear, Patty

Wow, jump to conclusions much? Scooter elements is a well respected site. Prices in Sanford, fl are way cheaper than winter park, fl because people are wealthier and rents in the business district is WAY cheaper. If you do it all yourself is cheaper than paying employees.Just as almost anything in Florida is cheaper than in Alaska. Buy the more expensive if you want, but no reason to bash a dealer for offering good prices.

our whole economy is based on supply and demand if so & so business, is willing to take a small lose on parts so that they can increase customers, thus increasing sales to make more profit, how is that wrong???
every businesses does it
HAVENT U EVER SEEN GAS WARS BY COMPETING STATIONS ACROSS THE STREET FROM EACH OTHER ??
If kidsmart want to gauge you for $60 more and your ARE STUPID ENOUGH to pay it well then ur a dumb person. thats all there is to it. your just a dumb a&&.
u say ur a shopper??? hmmm so u always pay more for products even if u can find them cheaper elsewhere??
again dumba&&
theres a WHOLE lot that goes into the price dealers sell for. How much is their rent ? do they have to pay employee's ? do they have to pay taxes on their employee's ?
just re reading your post i think walter should sue u for SLANDER especially since u wrote it and published it.
matter of fact , walter, i can do that for you.
i am not a lawyer, but i do have alot of knowledge
can i sue her for u, walt.??

i am not a lawyer, but i do have alot of knowledge
can i sue her for u, walt.??There is nothing to sue about. And there was no slandering. I believe I was respectful, and made an honest observation. Let me ask you. Do you own a business? Have you ever been to China, perhaps Taiwan, or Alaska. $60's is not a small pocket change, and we're not talking about the 2 cents gas competitive gas wars with gas stations. It's called a give away, free. We talk about the Chinese taking our market out from under us. But this is just plain give away. Now that you put it like that. These are the kind of business that hurt our economy. And hurt business like Absolutely Scooters, and Kidsmekart who have a higher over and do pay taxes. For 53 year old female. You sure have trashy month. I'm a lady, and I have no need to stoop so low as you have. Hey Admin, This is my first time in this forum. I would have thought that it was a respectable forum. But I have just got a taste of what this forum is all about. I have participated in other websites, and I have never received such an unpleasant welcome like your forum members have given me. It goes to show all the visitors that come here, what kind of a forum you run. I will never recommend this forum to anyone ever. What a crappy place this is. Absolutely Scooters, and Kidsmekart, you need to find a forum that would up lift your business, not down size it.
