Yeah, I should have gone with Venom Motorsports! I really like the Hellcat, but not that much!

By any chance, did you ask Family Go Karts about their “60 Day Money Back Guarantee”? I would do that in a heartbeat!

Replacing the carb, chain tensioners and drivers side mirror got me riding 'safely' for around $45 out of pocket. But I still want them to come correct regarding the unresolved cosmetic and or non critical related defects/damage. So your swing arm is actually broken? |

When you start unboxing the bike, the front tire is wired between the crate and the rear swing arm of the bike. Whatever happened during shipping caused the front wheel to impact the swing arm right at the chain tensioner. It bent the threaded rod and collapsed the square tubing.
I could probably rig it to get by, but I would definitely replace it ASAP!

Who’s in my wallet? Capital One! And they are disputing the charges for my Hellcat!
I just got off the phone with Capital One and they are taking care of my problem! It might take a while. I’ll keep you posted!

I think that is the only way to purchase an internet bike ,unless it’s a local dealer ,use a credit card to protect yourself .

I hope you have good photographic evidence of all the damages.

I took pictures of all the damage and sent it to Family Go Karts. I have saved all my emails to them also.

Really bummed to hear customer service not being awesome for Family Go Karts... they've been super nice on the phone and easy to work with. I'm waiting on my Hellcat but it worries me if I have issues I'll foot the bill since they're giving you the run around.

This sucks to hear about your issues and also, family go carts. They're "Local-ish" here in Vallejo and I was hoping for better service. The last thing we China Riders needs is another Manny.
