Product Description:
Like what you see? You shouldn't. This listing is to show you what NOT to buy. Read on to save yourself pain and heartache.
The NZ market is swamped with crap scooters and untruthful marketing. Seen a scooter advertised WAS $3499, NOW $1750!! Newsflash: It was NEVER the $3499 price and is barely worth $1750.
This model is advertised by the manufacturer/vendor as having a '48 mile long range'. that's 77km. It hasn't got a hope in hell of achieving that.
See those chrome spring 'shocks'? Those were clunky old tech when we saw them 5 years ago. These days they are prehistoric with terrible performance and they rust fast. We still see them on this kind of no-brand rubbish scooter though.
This scooter construction will have virtually no weatherproofing. The first shower and it will leak like a sieve, ruining your electrics and writing off your scooter.
The switchgear is the worst type of cheap rattly plastic you can imagine. Flimsier than a paper plate in a hailstorm.
The folding mechanism? Good luck with that. It works loose and will never, no matter how hard you try and adjust it, ever feel solid.
These are just SOME of the issues you will experience if you buy an own-brand or no-brand product on the cheap. After-sales will be near-non-existent, and supposed warranties will vapourise at the first cause for concern.
There might be 'Kiwi' in the brand name though to make you think there is even a tenuous connection to NZ. There isn't.
There is NO shortcut. If you want a satisfying scooter experience, you need to buy a quality brand. Something sold internationally. Something with actual reviews by professional reviewers. Not made-up nonsense.
Talking of reviews, you can spot bought reviews a mile off. 'Review Farms' are shady operators who will write GUSHING reviews. Legit customers often just leave a star rating, sometimes a short comment. Bought reviews will gush on and on about how amazing it is and every review will be 5 stars. You will find certain NZ retailers subscribing to this practice. Legit operators have issues, and resolve them publicly. Nothing is 5-stars all the way.
All other scooters on our website are legitimate, proven, products from A-grade suppliers. Please, DO NOT BUY THIS ONE (it isn't even for sale).
Be careful out there. There is some real old crap dressed up as 'high performance' or 'outstanding value' when really it is none of these things.
