Bought my scooter from this shop located in Amelia,OH. When I talked to him about charging issues & if he would service under warranty he sighed heavily & tone changed to that of me being a bother/not potential $ coming in. Never once apologized for trouble I was having AFTER ONLY 1 MONTH or even seemed to care about resolving issue in a timely manor. I explained it was difficult to get scoot in with his shop hours/my work schedule & would call back after I had ride set up. Called him back after setting up ride & found his attitude even colder- guess he was hoping I wouldn't call back after being rude to me first time. Well after asking how long it would take him to look at it & some more sighing/dissapointed toned shortness he explained he wasn't sure. He has other things lined up in shop. Told him I needed to know something to adjust getting to work & work out ride to pick it up. Maybe a few days/week to look at it wasn't sure. And still no form of an apology or don't worry we will make this right. I was interested in buying a buggy down the line from him & told him I would be buying fluids/other supplies from him when I purchased scooter from him. If this is how he treats a customer who had intent of being a return customer I find it very poor form by my standards. I understand it is not his fault but do expect better customer service/care from a dealer. Will he fix this in the end? Maybe after making it a very unpleasent experience but in the end all he seems to care about by his actions is the initial drop of $ & not building a long term business relationship. Now I have found a mechanic closer to home with a much better set of standards I plan on working with. In the end this is just my personal thoughts/take on my transaction. I'm not here to tell anyone who to or not to deal with just putting this out there as food for thought for anyone thinking of doing business with them.

I agree that I shouldn't need a back up battery & there is still something going on but I need to be able to ride & not worry about walking scooter home again. Just was letting you know I found a way to limp it around. I got the battery for cost at $25 & know I can get home if 1 battery dies. I plan on replacing R/R but just can't swing the $ to throw at a part that might not be problem or waste time waiting for part with down time. Guy I got battery from is certified mechanic who works at a Honda shop just a few minutes from me & is much more pleasant/intelligent to deal with than the bum I bought scooter from.

I remember newer things from my past but I will say the world is degrading at a rapid rate- values, respect & don't forget common sense. I am happy to be alive & love my country but will not shed a tear when we & the rest of the world crash into the ground. I feel that the only way the phoenix of humanity may rise is from the ashes of the sewer we call a world now. Don't mean to be a downer just saying my thoughts & 2 cents on the past. And in saying that I may not like todays world but I wouldn't go back if I could the past is just that & I look forward to the future no matter what it may bring.

Ok cool wasn't sure if it was another sensor that worked with the O2 sensor. Wasn't wet this morning but it was very humid & it did come on going down a very steep drop in elevation/mountain. You could feel the temp drop I'd say close to 10 degrees. Think it just brain farted due to drop in temp/elevation & the humidity?

So on a cruise after work this morning to go see the girl at her job & get her breakfast scoot started flashing error code 23 :/ Checking the service manual it is the error for the "lambda sensor". It didn't come back on for the ride to McD's/back with food or the ride home. Even when it was flashing it didn't seem to have any adverse side affects. Is this gonna be a major issue or is it probably just some more qwarks of these crappy chinese scoots? Thanks for any help guys

Got all the panels back on & battery on charger after all the starts with no riding. Plan to ride to work & monitor volts. With my creature of habit 2 mile bubble riding I'm hoping i can try to establish if it is a constant charge issue or an intermittent one caused by a loose wire I haven't found. Also if I need to jump it I can use a car as long as it isn't running correct?
