Yep, i'm back on two wheels, got a Bintelli Havoc yesterday from Rock Road Scooter Company in St Ann.
Lets see, last time i was on here was at the old URL, i lived in PHX, rode a Kymco, and was even a moderator before falling off the planet.
Now, i'm in the STL area, and as noted, on a Bintelli. Boy, has the scooter market changed, i'm going to need to do a lot of catching up. This one's going to be getting me to work over in St Charles, which'll be an interesting ride as the only ways into St Charles county are three freeways, though luckily the northern one has a bike lane (the shoulder, and MODOT doesn't bother to keep it clean).
Any how, time to lurk and catch up, see y'all around.

Any how, time to lurk and catch up, see y'all around. Hi, what size Havoc did ya get? I own two Bintelli Havoc's 150cc's and they have been outstanding scooters. I can get to 62MPH on one.. The other is still at 222 miles and isn't even good and broke into yet, so not sure where it's going to max out... Somethings I can share about the Havoc. The President of Bintelli (Justin) is a member of this forum. In addition to contacting him through Bintelli's website, you can reach him on here. This is a super valuable resource because he can get you anything you need. Just recently he gave me the wiring diagram for the Havoc, FREE OF CHARGE! Justin is a pretty cool guy and having access to him is a nice asset... I have gone over every inch of my Havocs and if you need any help with anything, just shoot me a PM to flag my attention. I love my Havoc's and think you will love yours as well.. The stopping power of the dual disk brakes is just awesome compared disk/drum..... |

The stopping power of the dual disk brakes is just awesome compared disk/drum..... Just a little 50cc, needed something cheap to replace my truck which died. Plus its an easy way to get my feet wet. Did you used to ride a CfMoto V5? JR Nope, just a 50cc 2 stroke Kymco, also had a Zuma in our house as well. |

Nice to see a couple Havoc owners on here i have also got the 150cc, dmartin95 , any tips on breaking it in? Ive had mine about a week and have been taking it pretty easy. I went over it and the idle fuel line was kinked and it was dying on idle so after taking the kink out of the line its been great. |

I went over it and the idle fuel line was kinked and it was dying on idle so after taking the kink out of the line its been great. For the break in period, I just recommend taking it easy like you have been and try to make sure you variate your throttle while riding. Do NOT stay at the same RPM's (low or high) for extended periods of time... FLUIDS... Constantly check them, inspect the engine for visual signs of leaks and pay close attention to any curves or stress points in the fuel/vacuum lines. Make sure to change your oil (motor and gear), inspect your valve clearances, check your CVT belt and get a reading of your plug at the 500 mile mark.... AT the 500 mile point in the scooters life, if there's anything irregular going on, it will likely reveal itself by then. Also, if you don't have these done by a certified mechanic, you will VOID your warranty. (Oh and one more thing to keep an eye on. Your valve stems. Bintelli chose to make a quality scooter but use very cheap valve stems. I recommend replacement with quality metal ones within the first 2500 miles. ) ---------------------- My Bintelli experience has been great. I started with a 50cc Scorch. Great machine, 800 problem free miles, but my long country roads made me feel like I was going to get ran over... So I had to upgrade, the scorch is sold in a 150cc and in my search for one, a seller offered me a 150cc havoc for the same price as a scorch.. I jumped on the deal. This has been my main ride and I haven't experienced a single issue and I put about 1250 miles on it last summer/fall. I live in Michigan, but was vacationing and visiting my parents in Florida when I found the Havoc. I trailered it all the way home and still had my scorch... So I started calling around to Bintelli dealers to sell my scorch, but I came across a seller who offered me an excellent trade-in price if I swapped for a 150cc Havoc. It was identical to mine (Green/white/black).... What would I do with 2 havocs you may ask? Check out this link ... That's Jason Hart from Grand Rapids scooter, he's the one who sold me my initial 50cc scorch. I was going to have him convert one into a powered side car..... Anyhow, I never wound up making a setup like in Jason's video, but that's how I wound up with two identical Havocs. Now a days the second is Havoc is used for my company. ------------------------------ Also, one more thing to note: My second havoc I purchased had a kink also, but it wasn't fuel. The wires going to my coil was kinked in between the frame and seat/body panel area and made it to whenever I hit a bump, it would die... What was happening was that it the two wires were arching out killing the spark.... It was very easy to identify the the damaged harness and I attribute it to human assembly error and not a problem with the scooter itself.. Once that was fixed, it has ran problem free like my other Havoc and must say Bintelli makes a of a nice scooter! Welcome to the Bintelli Club!!!  |

I can't say i was all that gentle with mine during the break in stage, but when your bike tops out at 35 or so (dunno how accurate the speedometer is), and most roads are 35 - 40, you either treat it right and get run over, or do your best to keep up. Sadly it looks like the 150 is gone, in fact Bintelli's page only shows two 150 models right now, i wonder why. Any how, lets see if i remember to visit remember to visit here regularly, obviously i've been busy the last few days doing replies, PM's, tweaking my profile, especially my signature, and making a couple new threads. Hmmm, maybe we need to create a Bintelli club signature badge. Heck, why should we do the work, hey Bintelli crew ( Bintelli - Jason Bintelli - Justin ), lets get some stuff for showing are Bintelli pride on forums, blogs, Facebook and the like. Badges for forums and the like, maybe backgrounds for Twitter, Tumblr and blogs? Any hoo, onwards... |

If Bintelli gave out stuff for showing off our Bintelli pride on these forums, I would expect a semi-truck trailer load! :)I always brag about my Bintelli's. I love my Bintelli Scooters. Mine have been very, very reliable. It would be cool if they did send out stuff like that though.. I wish I had some Bintelli Sticker LOGO's for my shop and scooter gear.... It would look great with my all my other LOGO's on my main Tool Box....  And yeah, I too noticed the 150cc Havoc is no longer on Bintelli's website... I noticed you tagged Justin and Jason.... Hopefully, one of them will chime in and answer what has happened to the havoc 150cc... It is really hard to stick to that break in period! I didn't make it to 500 miles on my scorch either before I was at WOT everywhere I went. One more thing.... If you're getting 35MPH, I'd say you're doing pretty good with a 50cc... The havoc frame is pretty heavy duty and that's a lot of weight for a 50cc frame... A TaoTao ATM-50 frame is literally half the weight of a hovoc frame and them ATM's only hit about 35MPH also. |

Physical swag would be nice, but i'd settle for digital like a banner that when clicked on takes you to Bintelli's home page. Or a nice background for my Twitter page that lets me show my love for Bintelli. Tell me about it, its the reason i'm suspicious of my speedometer. Well, just added a phone mount (i'm cheap, its meant for a bicycle) to my scooter, we'll see what Waze tells me. |

Hey guys! You guys are awesome... thank you for all the kind words. We made the difficult decision to not stock the Havoc 150cc for the rest of the year. It wasn't selling as well as we had hoped so we are taking this time to make some improvements on it and hopefully bring it back for 2016 bigger and better! We also need the warehouse space (and money) to now stock Adly 2 stroke scooters (Made in Taiwan) that we are now the exclusive USA distributor for! First shipments arrive in July. PM me your full name and address and I'll get some swag heading your way! dmartin95 javarod |
