Eagle Sporty 150 Scooter Review
by Jeffrey B. Krott
(Helena, MT USA)
This scooter is a piece of crap. I have spent more time trying to fix it than I have riding it. I have had problems with it from the time it was delivered new!
It came with a flat tire and much more was wrong with it. I have had to go through 6 voltage regulator/rectifiers, numerous headlight bulbs, 4 batteries, a wire harness, and my scooter still doesn't work! Right now I am trying to find its starter motor.
Keep in mind that I am not a mechanic and have never worked on a scooter before. When a person purchases a scooter online, one can expect that your local scooter store/dealer/repair shop will not work on it unless you pay them dearly for it.
It is far better to purchase a scooter from a local dealer than to purchase one online. The local dealer will repair it for far less. When purchasing a scooter online, unless you are a mechanic, you will have to perform all the maintenance and repairs on your own.
I am going through my own version of hell trying to fix my scooter. With very few people in my area to help me, I am really getting ticked off.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Attention!
I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
