I've had to run red lights on many occasion , they just don't seem to pick the scoot up. They're pretty good around here or most of the ones i deal with are timed. I only have two problem ones, one i use a parallel street one block south which is stop sign controlled. For the other one, i exit the freeway on the bike ramp, and use the bike trail to cross over to a side street. |

Prolly changed items already. I believe off to the right is a few recent deals, it might be in there.

Ok, decided to overhaul this thread rather than flood the forum with multiple threads regarding deals for the scoot that others might want in on. 12 June Figured its a good idea to have something like this with us, no? I have a work light with a magnet and a hook, and it comes in handy at times. Any how, That Daily Deal has one as today's deal, free, just pay shipping. I've dealt with Jammin' Butter (their parent company) a few times and have had no problems, so give it a look ifn you could use some light to carry with you. |

Hmmm, anyone know what connectors are used for the lighting, and where to get parts (connectors, pins, crimping tool)? I mean where it plugs into the main harness? I'm thinking of adding some extra lighting and would like to add it to the light circuit without hacking up the harness. I'm thinking get the parts to build my own short harness to add in that gives me leads to connect to rather than modifying the existing wiring.

Yeah, i know. Still, better than the last time, it was at night and i didn't realize anything more than it was dying at quarter throttle, so at least we have a direction to look in. The shop's going to do that soon as they can get to it. Prolly have them check to see if its restricted, and maybe change the weights while their at it too. Hmmm, wonder if that'll kill the warranty. I don't know for sure, but I think modifying the engine in any way will VOID the warranty. I suggest if you're unsure, Contact Justin or Jason. Oh definitely, but in this case we're talking two minor trans tweaks. Lighten the rollers for better hill performance, and if on the odd chance it has a restriction in the transmission, get rid of that. Outside of that, i'll prolly never modify it mechanically, i prefer to keep it simple and reliable, if i need faster, i'll get bigger. Yeah, i know.

If the bike has been knocked over I would recommend having your dealer take a look at it just to make sure everything's OK. Sometimes things get knocked loose or crack that may not be noticeable at first glance. It also sounds like your carburetor may need a slight adjustment and there may be something quirky going on in your CVT. The rear tire not turning is the giveaway.Don't worry, your dealer can diagnose exactly what you need to get you back up and running in no time! Not worried about a crack, it was on grass. The only parking option here is to chain it to the patio fence, with the center stand on a board so it won't sink. Had one of those storms that take down trees here, so it wound up on its side in the grass, so aside from an out of place mirror, bike looked fine, fired right up, and rode fine. Biggest problem for solving this is that it has the bad habit of working perfectly fine when the dealer gets it, and reproducing the problem may be all but impossible. After i got it back the last time, i racked up prolly around 125 miles before it struck again. Gotta love those intermittent problems that can take years to find.  |

Well at least i got a reasonable sized tow this time. Since it died in daylight this time we also got a better idea of what's wrong. Basically it bogs down and dies at about quarter throttle. Interesting part is that i noticed that the back wheel isn't turning when that happens. It occurs to me that during a big storm we had a couple months ago the bike got blown over. I didn't think much of it at the time, it started up fine, ran fine. Hmmm, i think something might've gotten loose or knocked askew, what y'all think? Getting knocked over could have something to do with it... Oil could've leaked into your CVT, but not likely...If it bogs down and the back tire is not turning, it could be your belt or something else in your CVT is bound... It's very hard to diagnose with such little info. Pop off your CVT cover and take a look at the belt and the rest of your cvt components. Yeah, i know.

Nope, while Bintelli - Justin or Bintelli - Jason could tell you more i'm sure, Bintelli is an importer and retailer, their bikes are made by Znen who's always (or at least since i started scooting in 08) been one of the most highly rated Chinese manufacturers. Adly Moto is made by Her Chee Industrial Company in Taiwain, and will now be being imported by Bintelli or i suppose rather their parent corporation, which means we'll be seeing 2T bikes in the US again. |

I use www.andruschak.net/ -- my own domain, hosted by JaguarPC, costs something like $60 a year plus my various domains for my blog, wife's blog, etc.. Nothing is more reliable than your own. I used to have Geocities, but that is long gone. Had websites from pacific.net and sbcglobal.net, gone. I'm trying postimg.org right now, in fact i replaced the image in one of my more recent posts with the same image hosted there. So far so good it seems. Still, always like to know what my options are out there, thanks. |

Anyone recommend one?
Currently i'm using Photobucket, but its not compatible with HTTPS Everywhere, so its time to look for a new home. Don't need much, just a parking place for my pics with the ability to share them. In fact that's really the only reason i put them online, otherwise i'm quite happy to be old fashioned and store everything on my computer.
I'm a bit wary about using anything from Yahoo, they've a spotty track record when it comes to security, and with Google, between getting bigger, and trying to improve anything, i'm not real interested in them either. Still, i figure someone has to know of a good bare bones service out there (why is it that i always want things to be too simple?).

Hey folks I don't in any way want to discourage great conversation among members but this thread has gone past the introduction part for a new member. To continue with comments about this great vendor I would appreciate it if you could start a thread in the dealer good or bad section. It actually will attract more member input IMO. Thanks JR   Seriously though, i'd restarted it since i've been gone for a while, but yeah, prolly best to cut it out before it gets out of hand, i'm sure i have another thread to use around here somewhere... |

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. 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. |

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. 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... 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.

That or you can repair it. Sounds like a basic switch, i'm assuming on-on, not on-off-on? Should be able to find a switch online or any electrical parts place, and i suspect you'd have a hard time finding one that can't handle the amps as i suspect that that doesn't draw much.
