I bought a TaoTao tbr7 from TX powersports because I did zero research outside of clicking on a Facebook ad. I just wanted a shitty little bike to throw around in the National Forest on the weekends. Paid extra for assembly and PDI, which I now know I shouldn't have. Lots of cross threaded bolts, broken mounts. Showed up with a gas tank that wouldn't hold fuel and a popped front tube. I've emailed their support for five times now and still have never gotten a response. They really screwed up my bill of sale and included my shipping fees and assembly fee in the sale price so I had to pay state sales tax on that when I registered it, which was just icing on the cake.
The dudes over on the hawk 250 Facebook group sent me here and said you guys are cool. So here I am, I guess I'll do some research before I buy another.
Oh, and my name is Devin.
