Cheap chinese scooter goes 3 miles then breaks, makes woman cry
 
I kinda think she deserved it, but its still a shitty situation.

The short version: Some lady was talked into buying a $1500 chinese electric scooter, rode it for under 3 miles and it died. The original seller is blowing her off and parts are almost non existant. She is now stuck with a $1500 paperweight.

Kinda wished I lived near her. I would try my best to fix it for her.

WTF is up with the dude that supposedly worked on electric bicycles/motorcycles and then went and fried everything. What a f'in idiot...

Dave 05-29-2012 12:44 PM

What a dumb bitch.

The man selling it was Mr. Brad Voisen of Voisen Motors. I researched his company online and found a website. They looked like nice people, and I was happy to be buying from an actual business rather than a private seller.

When we checked out the bike at Mr. Voisen's home in Encinitas, he seemed like a friendly old fellow. He showed us how the bike worked, and watched us ride down the street a few times. He assured us that the bike was in good condition. We chatted with him for a while about the importance of alternative energy, and I told him how excited I was to be able to do my part. I couldn't wait to take my new ride home!
Dear god
Reading this turned me conservative republican.

Unfortunately most republicans drive automatics so now I'm fucked.

When you have to finance a $1500 purchase for 3 years, it should be common sense that you stick with what can be maintained on a budget. Buying an electric scooter on a shoestring budget is the equivalent of buying an old exotic car at a bargain price, then being surprised you can't afford to fix it the first time it breaks.

Your story is starting to filter onto different motorcycle forums, Elsa. I just read about your story from out here in Tennessee and made my way to your blog. Maybe you will find a fellow two wheeler near you who will lend a hand and get it back working or lead you to a decent alternative to your chinese nightmare. Wish I lived closer, I would try my hand at locating the issue. Good luck and I hope you don't give up on your two wheel dream just yet. Buying a motorcycle is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Where do you guys get these retarded demographics? That's about as bad as tards assertion that the right was boring in bed while I was tying Victoria into silk knotted pretzels and fucking her brains out on the parts car out back where the neighborhood could hear.

Go to any polling place and smash the windows of people driving up to vote.
You'll find most of the cars to be automatic.
I bet you a majority of the self identified Republicans would say that the car they pulled up in with a smashed window is an automatic equipped vehicle.
That's not demographics
That is science.

I wouldn't hesitate to help any of you pricks either, lol. I have had some people help me when I was having issues with a bike or two, don't mind returning the favor.

Was that really you?

I'd never make fun of somebody for helping out another but the wording was just very: kumbaya & fruity.

Trip isnt ALWAYS an asshole...;)

Rangerscott 05-29-2012 07:28 PM

Chinese scooters aren't worth a 1/4 of what people charge. Also, couldn't she take this to the loan office and show that it's a piece of shit?

I'd get the news involved but mostly likely it'll make her looks like a dumbass.


Really thought, it's what she gets for being eco. I've never had a battery out last an engine.

Rangerscott 05-29-2012 07:33 PM

Watch the beginning of the vid and look at the rust on the gauge cluster. If that shit was there before they bought it then I don't feel sorry for her.

Do you have the bank confused with Mommy?

If I didn't know you were old enough to ride a motorcycle, I'd think you were 11, 12 tops, based on your posts.

I do it for you.

Rangerscott 05-29-2012 09:29 PM

If she was really worried about mother nature than ultimately she should walk. If a bit less concerned than a bicycle. I wonder how much chemicals and crap was used to make that two wheel paper weight? Also chemicals that were given off when making it.

I like arguing with an eco. They never will admit that they need a vehicle. Never can give a good reason why they wont ride a bicycle.

Too far from work? Get a job closer. Having trouble hauling stuff? Get a buggy. Drop them off on a part of the planet where people walk 10 miles to a river just to get a drink and see how much they are eco.

Jesus Christ, fucktard, could you at least find a law for the state she lives in? Or read the first sentence of what you linked?

...buy or lease new motor vehicles and have repeated problems in getting their vehicles repaired under the manufacturer's warranty
Was this brand new motor vehicle? What was the manufacturer's warranty again? Your 72nd hint the Hawaii lemon law doesn't apply should have been the fact she doesn't know who makes the scooter and therefore did not have any manufacturer's warranty.

Waikiki

"Waikīkī (play /waɪkiːˈkiː/; Hawaiian: [vɐiˈkiːˈkiː] or [wɐiˈkiːˈkiː]) is a neighborhood of Honolulu, in the City and County of Honolulu, on the south shore of the island of Oʻahu, in Hawaii, United States. Waikīkī Beach is the shoreline fronting Waikīkī.

Did you read where she said like all dreams, her time on the islands came to an end and she found herself in CA? Notice all the cities she has recruited help from have very non-Hawaiian names?

How did that big font work out for ya? Fucktard.

Rangerscott 05-29-2012 11:59 PM

Dreams may end but they never die. She's still in Hawaii and doesn't realize it. Life is only what one's own mind can comprehend it to be.








P.S. I wub you you arrogant prick you.

Dave 05-30-2012 12:46 AM

her family lives in NJ not too far from work. might have to leave a flaming bag of shit on behalf of their amazingly incompetent offspring

one would suppose that logically the folks who want someone else taking care of all aspects of their lives for them would want their shifting taken care of for them too :P

transmission choice is more of an age, gender, race, and population density thing.....

the vast majority of blacks drive automatics....

so do most chicks, and big-city dowtown residents....
