Title: Strike 3!
Post by: Scootaloot on February 14, 2009, 02:20:55 AM

I don't want to be a whiner but my scoot ran for 3 days before breaking again. This time it was the belt and it left me stranded 30 miles from home. I had just gotten it back from the second major engine repair and rode it 3 times. The scooter has only 1900Km on it and I am not some kid trashing it but I really think its time to try something else. Any comments would be appreciated. :( :( :( :( :(

You have every right to whine!  That scoots been nothing but problems for you since the git go.  I purchased an '05 People 150 last July and put about 2000 km on it without any problems (hope I just didn't jinx myself!).  It sounds like you just got a lemon.  You never know, you could replace the belt and it could run fine for a few thousand kilometers.  Then again.....  I couldn't blame you for looking for something else.

The belt didn't break! A nut fell off the axle and caused the belt to fall off! The dealer said that there was no danger of the wheel falling off as it is held on by the swing arms. The dealer couldn't figure out how it could have happened but this was the last straw. Be safe out there! :o :o :o :o :o

Sounds like human error to me.

I agree with SW19. Nuts don't fall off for no reason. Time to find a dealer with a more competent mechanic. >:(
