Angry DO NOT BUY FROM Txpowersports.com OR Arlingtonpowersports.com

Please be advised, Do not buy anything from this store they are dishonest and do not honor any of there repairs.

I went to the BBB and they said that because they would not respond it was there advice to take them to small claims court. DO NOT BUY FROM SCOOtERS AND ATVs!!!

Preparing a couple of videos that I will post on youtube soon explaining everything, and showing all the problems I had ... Its not about money, its about doing honest business. They are extremely nice by phone but once you get the bike and you have problems, be ready to be frustrated ... The same company OWNS https://www.arlingtonpowersports.com/ and https://www.txpowersports.com/ ) so be careful.

HERE ARE THE LINKS TO CHECK THE REVIEWS AND CLAIMS ABOUT THE COMPANY.
BBB: https://www.bbb.org/central-texas/bu...wtype=negative

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pg/My-Scoot...=page_internal

I GOT SCAMMED FROM THIS PEOPLE SO PLEASE CHECK REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING FROM THIS COMPANY.

Thats not very helpful.

There are others out there, especially in youtube land, that recommend them. I wont name any names, but lets just say we all know their names.

Me, personally, I say to avoid them most adamantly. I actually refused to buy my new hawk from them even when offered a $200 discount. That should speak volumes.

Pretty sure those are both " Manny" outfits are they not ? Pretty much the Mordor of China Bike Dealers, nothing good is going to happen once you go in there.

Out of curiosity, which vendors are you guys liking for purchasing China bikes? I bought from txpowersports...I figured that once I bought there and received the Hawk via UPS freight, that was it as far as my dealings with them (unless the thing showed up damaged to oblivion, or missing the engine, etc.).

From purely a selling standpoint, I had no problems with them - they processed the order and shipped it out quickly. Based on the low cost of the bike, my thought has always been that I will have to eat the risks associated with purchasing and owning a China bike. If parts break, I find a suitable replacement online, buy it, and install it myself.

I purchased all my 3 atv's from them from the price point only,,
And definitely knew that would be the end of it due to their reputation.
And yikes, utube has been so infiltrated with marketers backing local yokels doing their own tests and putting their versions of "homemade" tests showing them as the best..u need to just be skeptical and read online as well...

My next bike will be from Q9 Powersports. MotoCheez mentioned them on one of his YouTube videos.

Good luck and keep us posted on which dealership you go with.
