Tank Sports 250 Touring Scooter
This is a disaster scooter. I did some homework before I got this bike. But the problem was that this version just came out in 2008. I trusted the 2007 reviews and decided to get it.
Problems started the very first week and in less than 400 miles. The coil burned as I have been told. $300 later I got the bike back and the dashboard stopped working.
Then the lights stopped working. All these before even 600 miles.
I did everything to return it from where I bought (RabbitScooters) to no avail! I even sent it to the distributor facility in LA for fixing the bike. I got the bike back and guess what, it didn't even turn on!
Another $200 later, the gas indicator is not working. At 5500 RPM it starts ripping and stalling! It has so many problems that I don't know where to start.
- Poor material quality
- Unreliable
- Very heavy
- Underperformed (No torque)
- Very hard to put gas on
Non functioning knobs that even the seller knew what it was for!
Just stay away from it. Don't even think about it. Not worth it at all.

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.
