PowersportsMax Review
by Judy
(Dallas, TX)
I took the plunge and went with a cheap China scooter outfit, Powersportsmax. When, after 7 days and no update to my order status (although the money had been removed from my account 6 days earlier), I was able to talk to someone after a 25 minute hold.
The response was good, and I actually received my scooter two days later. It took a day and 1/2 to get it freed from the cage and put together. I never expected it to start, but it did!
So far so good, except that the front (plastic) fender touches the front tire, and after some disassembly, we still cannot figure out how to correct that. I have an email into tech support regarding that, and regarding a bit of play in the handlebar/steering column.
Considering all of the horror stories I have read about buying from one of these dealers, I feel like I got very lucky. However, people do need to realize that few people post about a good experience, and that must be kept in mind when evaluating on-line rants, however justified they are. For every on-line horror story, there are probably 100 that were OK and just not reported.
I'll update this post as things develop, good and bad. Thanks.
Judy

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.
