Update: Today Aug 19th, 14 working days and just about 2.5 weeks after I placed the order I never got the part. I called them at least 4 times with no answer leaving a message each time with no call back. I emailed them thru the company email at least 6 times and, found his Face Book page "Michael Milstead" sent hin two emails thru there with no response. Over the last two days I did a Google search for reviews to find a LONG list of folks with the same issues. As well he has a list list of issues with the BBB that have never been fixed! I called this morning leaving a message and emailed him. Told him cancel the order and refund my credit car. That if he does not I will call my credit card company and dispute the order! DO NOT BUT FROM SCOOTERTRONICS!

On August 3rd I ordered an air filter. Within a few min, I get a confirmation email stating my account would be up dated with in 24 to 48 hours. Needless to say it was not!
I’ve called two times no answer no return call!
I’ve emailed two times that they returned one of 3 days later stating my account was updated. I check states may part would ship in 2 to 3 days that was like the 5th/6th. Now it’s the 10th, I have no shipping information, no return calls or emails!
I’m a first and last time customer!
Hey Scooter Tronic’s if you’re a member here where is my air filter?

I have a 2010 Icebear PST150-11 and want to upgrade the Variator Roller Weights. A few here have helped me to understand how the system works THANK YOU! However, without disassembling the transmission. Does anyone know what size weight comes on the bike stock?
I use the bike almost everyday to and from work. If I take the effort to take it apart to weigh the rollers to order new. It will stay apart when waiting for the new parts.
Any help would be great!

Hey cruise, I had an issue that was a little like yours. However, my bike has just over 300 miles. I adjusted the valves as suggested here .004 INCH intake (top) valve and .005 INCH (exhaust) bottom valve. And, just like you had the same issue.
However, I did not replace as many parts as you only the plug. What I found was the connection inside the spark plug wire that meets the spark plug was loose. Intermittent was loosing connection.
I made the connection firmer and adjusted the way the coil and wire was attached to the frame. And. it seems as I may have found the concern.
However, as of now I have only taken the bike on about a 15-mle ride local. You see I broke down on the road and had to be towed because the bike would not restart and I had no tools with me. I've ordered a tool roll, as soon as I get it I'm gonna pack up some tools and take a good long ride.

Looks like from the start my issue was the spark plug wire at the coil. It was loose! Shake/move it and you had spark. Depending on how it was sitting no spark. OH WELL! I learned a few lessons. One of, I now know how to take off the body. Seems as to make repairs is what you need to do!
Now found the DIFF leaking! I tightend down the bolts but it's still leaking.

Hey, alleyoop! Thanx just sitting here looking it and scratching my head!
One other question taking it apart I've noticed grease in the rear looks like it may have been coming from the Diff,
I thought I seen a post where you took the diff, apart. Are there gaskets? I noticed it split's botls running true?
Will ck wires etc, let you know if I find anything.

Hey folks need some help ideas please!
Few weeks back was riding my 2010 PST150-11 trike, Please keep in mind the bike has only 300 miles on it!
I was riding and the bike just shut off. Would restart but was a hard start and would not stay running. Last ran a little rough seemed as a multi cylinder motor running with a misfire
Another member here suggested I adjust the valves. I took the body apart to get at the motor and did so.
I replaced the spark plug just for GP's. And, replaced the battery. I would not take a full charge thought maybe the batter was bad.
Before putting the body back on the bike I started it. Let in run for a few min, seemed as it was OK! Put the bike back together!
Once done the bike will not start.
Ck'ed spark seems OK
Ck'ed for fuel seems OK
Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance for the help!

OK The bike 2010 PST150-11 trike.
Just over 300 miles
Have had no issues till now!
Driving today came to a stop light and the bike just shut off. At first would not restart but, cranking it st started one time ran for a few min, then shut off again.
I thought I smelled fuel.
At first was thinking spark?
Called a friend rolled it on a flat bed got it home put in on the charger for some time. Now it will bump like it wants to start but won't.
Fuel? Fuel Fliter?
Any leads?
Thanx in advance!

Hey trike scootes! New to the site, somewhat new to the scooter thing. I have a Icebear PST150-11 have had it for a few months. Have no concerns.
However, One, I have a few things I'd like to change.
Second, I have a few things I've seen here and on other sites of upgrades. That you folks have done.
Not doing this to make it a speed thing. Doing it for fun more then anything. However, some of the things I'd like to do are for comfort and maybe some safety.
So,
Things I'd Like To Do!
1) Rear shocks. On my bike they seem to ride a little firm. Any suggestions?
2) My bike came with a rear trunk. I've already fixed the rattle in the rear fender. However, I have a nasty rattle in the trunk. Any suggestions
3) The exhaust/muffler really don't like the spring thing holding the down pipe to the muffler. As well, I've seen post about the mufflers falling apart. Again I have no concerns but, if this is an upgrade I would consider.
4) I've seen posy about the variator weights and clutch springs. I'm reading things and don't know I understand it. What will this do if I change it out for me? Is it a concern with the OEM parts?
Any suggestions, ideas, things you did to your trike that made it run better, safer etc. I'm open for all ideas!
Thanx

I think what some are referring to is when you buy a drop shipped scooter/bike that is coming with an MCO (manufacturer's certificate origin) there could be issues. This was the ONLY negative issue I went thru when I bought my trike. Seems as when the Chinese bikes first showed up here in the states there were duplicate VIN numbers. And, some of the bikes do/did not meet emission requirements in some states. (For the most part California) By the way I live in PA and I’m moving to Florida. Deal is to have a state title issued the paper work need go direct to the state. And, only the state can issue the title, tag and registration. Was told Florida as long as you have a title from another state and you do not have an MCO. All you need to do is change the state on the tag and registration to Florida when I move there. The main reason I bought my bike in advance to moving. Now, if there are bikes, models, brands that cannot be sold there I know nothing about that! Hope this helps!
