I just kept clicking on the cheapest models and checking the scooters in the sidebar till I found the item:MC_JM26 for $579 . Supposedly a limited time sale . Probably wont get any info on it unless you ask for the specific model . Hope this helps . Rob

MC_JM26 for $579, then you have the mandatory 6 month parts warranty for $69 and $199 shipping so your total is $847 with questionable support.
G S Motorworks has the Milano for $799 shipped. Green Earth has 3 150s from $699 to $799 shipped. Both Companies provide support and parts.
The cheapest advertised price is not always the least expensive.

Philr54 ; I don't think jmkr72 was going to break his arm writing a check to them for that cheap scooter . I think it was more in the line of what the heck are they offering for that price . By the way ; I think benny hill was a comedic genious and wish he'd lived and worked at least another couple of decades . Rob

whats funny last night when i posted this and went thru there help center that model never even came up for that price
heck i even asked there help person what is the scooter you are advertising for that price and when they said none i asked them to remove there add or tell me what scooter i could get for that price
so im sure after dealing with a few people there who couldnt tell me which one it was
i said thank you for your time ill be forwarding this to google

then all of a sudden over night they come up with some sort of a claim to say see google dont kick us off of add sense here is our product

and when you read thru the specs it says 1 year warranty so i would not trust these nimrods at all

I'm in the market for a cheap scooter myself and i had seen this ad / scooter a week ago . It's been there since then ; sorta snuck in off to the side with no fanfare . I think they are weasels . I'm sure they just wanted to direct you to a unit with more profit in it . Likely the $579 cheapie is their loss leader to draw business . It might even have been out system because they sold the 1 or 2 units they had . Kinda thin , but if you sold 1 unit for that price the ad would be legal . If anyone asks you could say you updated the ad by-monthly or whatever . Really sad in any case . And many people call them a reputable dealer LOL . Rob

I wouldn't call them reputable. If you go digging through over at SD, Jim at Rapid Repair had a scooter come into his shop from them with no compression. He sent the engine back to them and a technician checked it out and said, "I don't see anything wrong!" Darned if that engine didn't come back with 175 psi of compression and Scooter Depot wouldn't pay for the shipping. I told Jim to save the magic crate and put blown engines in it to fix them. A little hanky panky at the Scooter Depot shop as far as I'm concerned.

Did he compare numbers on the case? Seems the guy got at least a reconditioned motor from them.

I'm sure he did. The thinking was they either did a valve job or swapped in a new head or something along those lines. The PSI rose from something like 115 to 175 with the same gauge. It was a 250 that wouldn't top 50 mph so the customer brought it to Jim and he found low compression from seemingly mis-adjusted valves from the factory. He readjusted the valves and the compression was still low-until it came back. Amazingly Scooter Depot said nothing was wrong and the motor came back good as new. Magic shipping crate healed it.

I've allot of good things abot their customer service and when they say a scoot is carb legal it is (from what I have heard). I know two riders out here in my town that are very happy with them. I have not used them as of yet.

The one time I used them was very satisfied with scoot & shjping ,but slow on getting papers. The
scoot is a Ruckus knock off & Honling no longer makes that . The model # is now a totaly different
scoot.

[therustyaxe]

It seems to me that everybody is slow about getting papers and plates. Sure I get some papers and a temp registration but I should have a plate in 10 to 12 days. Somemetimes it takes these dealers over a month to send out some plates, BAH!
