My recently acquired $200NZ used 1.5kw electric scoot from china absolutely shocked me
regarding quality control, and cost cutting practices.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot reputation wise and wasting materials.
Many of the gas scooters are getting better but still things you notice make you go why why why?
I suppose if you get less than 12 months use and get a warranty full refund you could go out and buy another, get another 11 months...
Maybe they are designed to last 13 months...
