man, sorry to hear this. apsua is the best place to order it think. i went 45 min away to southwest motor freight to pickup my bike back in march because i didn't want to deal with the freight ship drama. no biggie. if you can swing it i would use apsc usa. there has been a couple of issues recently but time and time again they seem to have a good record.

dont wait too long, these things are serious fun

Pulled the trigger today on 1 each TaoTao Rhino and Coolster 150 DX2! It's going to be a long 2 week wait. I hope I can teach my daughter to use a clutch LOL

Congrats!

Not a bad idea. My daughter is going to be stoked!

My son doesn't get excited about anything

Superior Powersports. A couple of the other vendors didn't respond to my inquiries regarding shipping and availability. They may end up responding eventually but I didn't want to wait much longer because of the shipping time and then I need time to finish building them. The jolly fat guy will be here before we know it!

I did the same thing when I ordered my ATV. If they don't pick up the phone you are taking a big chance. Not worth the risk. You would be surprised how many don't answer phones.

Makes the decision process a no brainer if you do that.

That will do.... I know I've documented this here a ton of different places but I ordered my Rhino from SPS. They did respond, they were great on the phone and answered all of my questions on multiple calls, including hooking me back up with the same gal I'd been speaking with on previous calls. It shipped and arrived when they told me it would, even though she said up front it would take longer due to the holiday rush.

My only negative is they hosed me on the after-sale support on a cracked front rack cover that I was able to trim so no big deal. I just wish they would have warrantied it.

I'll probably end up ordering from them again if the Coolster ever gets ordered. Wife's in no rush and she rides the Rhino.

Update on the situation. Superior Powersports never charged my credit card. After multiple attempts to contact them via phone AND email to no avail, I called my credit card company to block the transaction from this point forward.
