I am another wondering, lost soul trying to find a reputable, low cost Chinese dual sport dealer. I've gone back a couple pages and didn't not any reference to this dealer ship. powerdirt.bikes.com. I like the financing monthly rate offered by Credova. Anyone ever financed though them?

The Rocket Monster goes for $1399.99.Thanks to those who have paved the way and suffered through sales gone wrong.. I know how that feels as I' ve
gone thru a fairly big rip off with my big bike.

Their name sounds cheesy (no offense to member 'Cheesy'). Edit: looked their site over--seems legit. BUT--no one has reported buying from them that I can remember. The Rocket Monster is an Ice Bear product ('PMZ' is Ice Bear as indicated by PMZ125-2). Not sure if it is the site renaming one of Ice Bear's Grom LIke Vehicle bikes, or it is a new bike they are coming out with? Okay, Ice Bear's real name is Little Monster as seen from their site.

I would really like to see a listing of available China motorcycle dealers!
I've tried finding dealers.. Not in Texas: As It appears one man/family has the lock down on powersport sales in that state.
Any new references to reputable dealers is a daunting task!

Ps Thanks cucune!

If you are looking at minis, try Pete at Kronik Racing in Simi Valley, Calif. He deals mainly in Vader 125s, but his site shows him offering Ice Bear Monsters. Kronik is a performance shop who used to concentrate on pitbikes, but they have expanded into these minis since they are California legal and use the same engines. They ship nationwide and have bargain pricing on the Vaders.

ikeus685 · 11-11-2019, 03:48 PM

Thanks! Have sent them an enguiry and general questions ..shipping etc.
Here a list of some other dealerships I've found: Powerrideoutlet.com..Hawks,Magicians, TaoTao's
Orionpowersports.com.. Venommotorsports.com,Powerdirtbikes.com..
motobys.com.. Belmontebikes.com.. megamotomadness.com..

There are also a bunch of dealers that have gokarts as a part of their name.
Please add if, you can.. I am not satisfied until , I place my order.

Orionpowersports seem to be on the up and up; they recently came out with the Orion streetable (streetable as opposed to being street legal--that would depend on if your state plates dirt bikes) 125cc pitbike and that has been a big seller the past few weeks. As a dealer, seem to be ok. Venom has a great reputation. However, their prices are a little higher than the bargain basement pricing of some of these dealers, BUT you don't have to wait weeks until your paperwork is finally sent to you (not to mention the paperwork is not signed, or filled out or filled out properly and your local DMV office says "no" and you have to keep sending paperwork back and forth). I would say to consider them. I know I sound like a broken record, but call Pete at Kronik if you are in the market for a GLV (Grom like vehicle) and would consider a Vader. He is the owner and answers the phone and knows the Vader inside and out AND sells them at the same prices as the bargain basement places, BUT sends out the paperwork and whatnot to actually get the thing registered. If you are in California, he legally has to do all the paperwork for you and charge you tax and DMV fees, but you are good to go.

Jerryhawk mentioned shopapmc.com which is a good dealer as well.

ikeus685 · 11-11-2019, 09:32 PM

Yea.. I've picked up the vibes and info put out by the above dealers and so far Venom is looking good. They do ask for an extra $100.00 for lift gate delivery which I require. I am still digging into and will contact Kronik Racing soon.
Overextended but determined to buy irregardless.

I am stepping cautiously around this minefield and waiting for my Wednesday payment to Affirm so I may slide under the watchful eyes of lenders and purchase my bike.
Yea.. Just checked out Jerryhawks Ytube channel and subscribed and also checked out that dealer. Fellow baby boomers unite !

Thanks for subscribing.

Don Hopper @ shopapmc.com is a good guy to deal with. I bought my Hawk and a UTV from him. My UTV got damaged during shipping which was no fault of his and took he care of all the damaged parts very quickly. He dealt with the shipping company direct. Easy to reach on the phone or email and will answer any question you have. I would buy from again with no hesitations. You will noticed that he doesn't carry every brand out there. He choose to deal with companies that will stand behind there products like American Lifan and Bashan.

ikeus685 · 11-12-2019, 03:55 PM

Some of this might be duplicates but;
powerrideoutlet.com F from the BBB.
familygokarts.com (I was considering this place) Not rated by the BBB. 73 complaints closed in past 3 years.

.
Powersportsmax= B- from the BBB.
txpowersports Not accredited but given an A+ from the BBB.
Venommotorsports NR rating from the BBB as they have info it is out of business.

Konikracing.com NR rating from BBB but on most review sites maintain 5 stars across the board

killerspowersports.com BBB alert for this business, no longer in buisness

redfoxpowersports.com BBB Non accredited Alerts for non compliance

powerdirtbikes.com BBB non accredited but; carries a B+ rating

Star motors redoakcycles.com no BBB rating, no complaints no reviews. Authorized Lifran dealer.

Whats with these business's being closed but, still doing business?? Taxes!!

I hope this helps. Some I looked a little deeper. Any dealership you'd like info
of their business just type in their email address and enter revieiws and you'll see numeroussites with input from consumers also email name and BBB.

imapdog · 11-12-2019, 04:30 PM

I dont think Venom actually operates inside the usa. their offices are in canada last time i investigated them....maybe that is why no good info on BBB....
Venom used to be my fav as i have purchased a half dozen bikes from them last two yrs...but my new fav is Orionpowersports. give them a shout/question in messenger inside facebook. i like their website best too....venom is still one of my favs but not no1

**JerryHawk250** · 11-12-2019, 05:24 PM

And lets not forget brozz250.com

ikeus685 · 11-12-2019, 06:08 PM

There are actually dealerships with F ratings who people order from all the time, and have good transactions, believe it or not. I would not order from them, however. I do think the 'secret' is what you are ordering, and how comfortable you are wrenching. Again, I would not order from a dealer with an 'F' rating. Powersportsmax should be ok to order from with their B-, but it will depend on what you are ordering.

Venom dropships from So California. I am not sure if they maintain an office in the L.A. area that they don't deal with customers from, but it seems likely. In other words, people order through their site in Canada, and someone might run around So Cal making sure the orders get shipped. That is how they can maintain delivering consistent good customer service. Just a theory, though; perhaps the companies like Dongfang, Boom/Baodiao, Ice Bear, etc. they deal with are really good at shipping out stuff on time and sending the paperwork

Good advice, but we don't know what bike he wants. But the Brozz is DEFINITELY top notch as far as Chinese bikes go, and Brozz250.com is the only place to order one from.
