Ditto alleyoop

I think im one of the lucky ones, so far. Got mine from scooterdepot. It came assembled, which i think is the reason im one of the lucky ones. Im still breaking it in and so far so good. I felt a wobble in the front end at around 45mph during a very brief speed increase, due to break in period. I checked the boards and checked the toe in and alinement and all was spot on. I read to increase shocks to stiffest position, and filled all tires equally with air and wobble went away.
Every time i called i got a polite person and was put on hold for a short period of time, maybe 20% of the times i called. I believe the initial PDI done right is essential. I also believe that the more expensive scooters, mine was $2,450 delivered get a little more respect from the people at scooterdepot then those people who are bitchen about why their $300 scooter isnt perfect.
There is good quality and cheap quality parts on the scoot, but if you check around you will see that to change the fluids immediately, buy better quality fuel and vacuum lines and replace the cheap spark plugs and fuel filter,and a few other things, you will be way ahead of the game.i like the ride, i like the acceleration, and the breaking is great. Ive had medium sized motorcycles and a 50 cc Puch moped, which i loved, and i can see a good long relationship with this trike.
The biggeat talk i hear about chinese scoots is maintenence. Gotta change fluids very often, and check tightness and use loctight on all essential bolts and keep an eye on the valve clearances.
There is alot of negative talk about scooterdepot on the internet, but i looked them up and saw they did $1,800,000 in sales last year which is a s#it load of cheap scooters. Percentage wize, i think that is a small amount of complaints. I worked in a bicycle shop for several years, and if you bought a quality bike right out of the box, assembled what parts were not on the bike and tried to ride it, you were screwed. They all needed proper set up. I can take a wAlmart bike and assemble it to work just fine. An average joe can buy a $1000.00 bike in the box, put the seat and handlebars and front wheel on, and he will have nothing but problems.
right now scooterdepot and their DF150TKB are running 100% in my nook and i would reccomend both.
