I just ordered a Roketa MC-119-150 scooter from Powersportsbest.com and a Verona 50 scooter form Greenearthscooters.com.
I ordered from both tonight online and received a email promptly from both sites with order confirmation and order number. Greenearthscooter included a "Post Delivery Inspection Guide" in PDF that was pretty well written and had plenty of pictures to help a beginner wrencher.

Day #1.
I received email confirmation of order received from Greenearthscooters. Then a order cancelation and then a orders shipped confirmation. The new confirmation was priced $120.00 lower than my previous order. Verified at the bank and sure enough I was billed $120.00 less than what I was expecting to pay. Now that is pretty OK to me.
Powersportsbest sent a order confirmation with a note that there was a problem with billing. I was at work so I did not get this email till I got home. They did call me at 12:30 and I returned the call at 1:30. Tina was very polite and helpful through a few more calls between her and my bank to get the money through to them. Finally got everything straightened out with the bank and she said she would have the scooter out tomorrow. Always answered within a few rings. Never put on hold or had to leave a message.
So far so good except for my banking problem which was because of two large purchases in such a short period of time flagged to suspicious activity.

Day #2
I got a order shipped email from Powersportsbest. Should be here Tuesday the 19th by what the tracking number informs me. yeah, 7 days from order to arrival not bad even with some banking issues. Probably would have been here Monday if it was not for that.
Received the order shipped from Greenearthscooters, but never received a tracking number or a estimated date for delivery. Decided to give them a call. They promptly answered and knew what I was after because he gave me all the information without me even giving him my name! I asked him how he knew what to look up. He said he saw the caller id and figured I was after the shipping info. Not bad, even though I did have to call for tracking info. Scooter should be here Wednesday the 20th.
Now the problem is I have to take time off from work to receive both scooters. I will probably have to schedule the home deliveries for Wednesday or Thursday. Bummer for me since my scooter will be here first.

Day #6
Got my scooter from Powersportsbest! Picked it up at the dock so I would not have to wait for delivery. I would have had to wait till Friday for a delivery time that would work for both of us. Arrived in great shape ready to run except the rear view mirrors. Started second try. Now to change the oil and get it tagged.....

Day #8
Well, finally got caught up a bit to post. We did pick up the Verona 50 from greenearthscooters.com on Wednesday night from the dock. Again it was because we would have to wait till Friday for home delivery do to my work schedule.
The item arrived in great shape. No damage at all to the box.
Put it together, changed the oil, filled with gas and it started right up.

Both scooters are doing fine. The Verona was my sons and since he has since purchased a 200cc Dong Fang from Powersportsbest. He has had problems with the Dong Fang and Powersportsbest seems to be trying to make things right so far.
The Verona has served him good till the got the Dong Fang this spring. It does have a lean carburetor stall on take off some times. The carb is sealed, but it wasn't that bad of a issue that we had to take it apart to pop open the adjustment cap.
The Roketa turned out to be a Jonway and has served me well. I just recently started riding it again daily as a commuter, about 12 miles a day. I have been averaging 75 mpg so far. The only problem I have had with it is that the headlight is adjusted too high. Starts and run fine everytime. Even still using the supplied battery.
I have some adventures posted here chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14034 . |
