Battery is a Walmart Everstart brand, around a 3Ah. Is $25.88 then $27.43 after Tax & return of core-charge. Carb was found on Amazon for $24.70. Found headlight-bulb on place called BulbTown.com Got two BA20d bulbs @ 1.25ea + $5.99 Shipping, which comes to $4.25 a bulb.  The R/R I took a chance on a US seller from Ebay (99.4% rating.) & Got it for $4.89. The Battery cables I made myself, had the wire & terminals already. - As for the parts coming, 2X Red 1157-style LED bulbs $10.68 (free-ship.) Starter-Gear $ $12.66 (free-ship.) 669-18-30 Standard grade Drive-belt $6.98 (free-ship.) 4"x9"x1/32" sheet of Fel-Pro exhaust gasket material $2.75 + $1.75 ship. All found on Ebay, from US sellers with 99.0% rating or higher. ______ Yes my math was little off from the previous statement by $5 or $6. But I was spitballing the prices from memory & the time. Still managed to get the said idems for this scoot for less than $85 todal so far. But it still needs a little more TLC, & then it will be a dependable ride. _ |

A 3AH battery!! WOW not a power house, hope you don't have to crank it more than a couple of times for it to start otherwise the battery will be depleted Alleyoop LOL, I know! But really, it's a fair priced batt. with a outstanding warranty. (90-Days no argue, free replacement W/receipt.) I ziplock bag the receipt, & store it with scoot. & put reminder end-date in my calendar. I really enjoy being able to replace any of my EverStart batt.'s @ any Walmart store. Which can literally be just about up to 20-Mi. away. ( My local one is less than 2 miles for me.) It's nice to not have to worry that I won't be close enough to a location to trade-in my warranty on a clapped-out batt. _ |
