Schwinn Hope 150 Scooter Review

by Sam V.
(Lawrenceville, GA)




What I liked about the scooter: it's pink. What I don't like; Schwinn service is awful or non-existent. It spent more time in the shop than on the road. It's had three throttle problems, coil problems, intake problems, and electrical problems.

After the last throttle problem, my insurance totaled it out and I was more than happy to sign it over.

Hope 150 NEW
by: Cindyjo2009

I bought a Schwinn Hope 150, because I liked the pink color, and it's small. I'm only 4'11", so I needed something I could feel comfortable on. I loved it....when it wasn't in the shop. After a month, it started powering down on me in traffic. I'd let it sit for a few minutes, and then it would crank back up. I took it to the shop where I bought it three different times. You know how mechanics are...if they can't get it to do the problem while they have it, then they can't fix it. Finally, I raised cain, and they said "well, maybe it's a bad CDI". They replaced it and guess what? Runs like a champ!! No other problems so far! Fingers crossed.

Once again a scooter that wasn't given a good pre-delivery inspection at the dealer. Had this been done all your problems would have been abated and you would have had a good relationship with the scooter. Too bad.

Battery Tender Junior in package

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.
