I had the Cyprus MC54B a year now, when I received the bike it was not what I ordered, and asked about description that was altered to make the bike look like a it had a 21.2 hp engine. I also contacted the California warehouse and was told any issue with the bike must be taken up with the dealer. So if a lawsuit is pursued please contact me at Avi.Negron@gmail.com (seattle, Wa.)

I didn't buy from Scooter Nitro. But, I did get scammed big time from a dealer I perceived to be established selling Tank Touring scooters!

File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (ftc.gov). ScootDawg member suggested I file a complaint with the Motor Vehicle Commission. Recently, sent a letter to MVC Investigations. Also, plaster the owner and there business on Yahoo, Yellow Pages, etc.

I bought a machoman mc-54b from them. I also had trouble getting parts, they kept saying, it's being shipped from China and it takes time. I never recieved the parts and sent numerous E-mails, all I got, if they responded was it will be there. I also have had nothing but problems with my bike and was suppose to have 3 year warrenty on parts. Then I found out they went out of buissiness and now I'm stuck with the bike. I'd like them to take it back and get refunded and buy a different bike from a legitiment buissiness

I would also join the suit. I have been waiting for parts since June or July of 08. I need a METER ASSY, SPEEDOMETER LINE, IGNITION SWITCH LOCK, and FUEL LOW-TENSION SWITCH. I have been pricing out the parts since then and they add up to almost $400. This is if I pay and put the parts in myself. If I have a dealer do it for me it would cost over $1000 to do this. This is really really crappy that we all buy a new scooter from this place and this is what happens to us. We need to all stand up and make them pay. As of now I am going to get in touch with the BBB in my area and file a complaint.

Scooter Nitro Lance scooter

I purchased a Lance Charming 50cc scooter from Scooter Nitro online after doing days of research. They seemed to have a good price and warranty. Well, the scooter did not work upon delivery, after several repair bills ( I finally found a nice motorcycle serviceman to repair it - 30 miles away) and many emails and phone calls to Scooter Nitro...
#1 I do not have a Lance Charming bike - false advertising
#2 Many parts I needed to replace were either not covered as described or have not arrived from China after 3 months
#3 When I called and emailed for instructions on how to return this defective bike at my expense, I was told my 5 days for return had passed, the bike would not be accepted
#4 One salesman at Scooter Nitro told me that is what I get for buying online

I ordered a Bali 150 and it sure took forever to come in. It did however come in with a ripped seat and as more parts broke I filed the paperwork each time to get my parts and hounded them time after time and was unable to get any information about where my parts were other than on backorder. I would like in on any class action lawsuit that takes place.

Scooter Nitro Awful experience

What can I say Does anyone or has anyone dealt with William? I purchased my scooter in May 2008 the 1st bike sent out looked like it was in a crash. I finally received another bike in late July. It is now October and I have not received any replacement parts that were promised if I accepted the last bike. I am thinking of flying down to visit these crooks and take my own resolve to their knee caps.First these people lie and say send them the parts for replacement and they will send out new parts then they say, oh we don't send out the parts, the manufacturer in china sends the parts directly to you. July, August, September, October? Right!

They are still in business. Under who knows what name this week. I have filed complaints with the better business bureau, and currently have an open case, which they are responding to. Next, I will talk with the Missouri Attorney General, and probably Small Claims Court. Please, go to the BBB website and file complaints on this business. This is the best first course of action that will lead up to a class action suit and make it stick.

Please let me know, if you know of any lawsuit- because we would like to get in on it. We ordered two of the Machoman 260 and received two Cypress 250's. We have not had any luck with contacting Scooter Nitro, as they always come up with some excuse or dont return calls.
One scooter runs ok, but not good. The other is a complete lemon and is not in running order at all.
This company I understand, has just changed its name to avoid lawsuits. The new name of the company is . What started out as a fun adventure of getting new scooter's. Has turned into a nightmare of trying to unload the damn things. Let me know, if you guys have any luck.

Scooter Nitro They do not deliver as promised

I'm another pissed Scooter Nitro customer. Ordered the Bali 150 in April. Scooter received 4 weeks later was so damaged the trucking company called me and said they would not deliver. Immediately called my credit card company and put a hold on the payment. Contacted Scooter Nitro and told them the story. At first they wanted to just knock a couple of hundred off the purchase price. I told them no way. They then agreed to send another scooter. It arrived after 4-5 weeks. 2 months later the battery dies. Installed new one at my cost of $65. It dies 2 days later. Radio has never worked and I don't think it is even there. No antenna. In line fuel filter leaks all the time. Still have not released payment and will not until I get a 100% operating scooter without any more expense on my part.

Scooter Nitro Machoman 260 Touring Scooter

07/18/2008 Ordered Machoman 260 Touring Scooter. Package arrived that was not 260 Machoman, but lower grade 250. Less Engine, less weight capacity. I requested they pick up the bike and give me the one I paid for. The would not do that, said it was out of stock, and without my conscent credited me $200 on my Visa with a 5 yr. warranty. Manager Joe called and said to try it, I'd like it. Right out of the box, the cypress 250 turn signal switch does not work, engine cooling fan does not work, odometer does not work, then headlights, tail light. The bike will not hold a charge, dies. Scooter Nitro's response...we will supply parts, but its your baby to pay to get fixed. This is new out of the box! Caution...be wary of Scooter Nitro. They send the wrong bike on purpose, and doesn't work out of the crate.

Day after Turkey day .

Still no word from the attorney generals office.

I for got to tell any one who write's the Attorney Generals office . send it Certified mail with a return receipt. That is just in case they want to sweep it under the rug.

Now back to the beast, as I stated before I have made up a lot of parts for this ^%@"< . I was in demand for a New Carb . So I rewoked it, Installed New braided fuel line, s . Put a electric fuel pump on it. Elimated the fuse, and installed a Circuit Breaker. The elec fuel pump only draws 1 amp.
Just got it all back together, it starts better, now if decent out we will road test it.

Now those of you who are having turn signal switch problems. Let me know an I will try and help you salvage the original. But you will loose self canceling.

The ones that are enjoy riding there's. God bless them. Before I take it off the hoist, I am going to fix that side stand so any little breeze it doesn't want to lie down.

By the time I get done, I hope I get a better offer than $18.23 at a Nursery for a flower pot.

Talk to Ya later.

We have the same story, except in addition, we have now been told by Pennsylvania Deparment of Transportation that there is a discrepancy with the VIN and MCO numbers and they will not issue us a lisence plate. Has this happened to anyone else in other states? Not only is the scooter a piece of junk, but we can't even drive it when it is working. Has anyone seriously looked into a group lawsuit? I wouldn't even know where to begin...

Scooter Nitro Bad experience

We ordered the Nitro Twister Scooter and the Vintage 150 from Scooter Nitro. They said free delivery and it would be 8-14 days. Today is business day 18 and no sign of the scooter. Almost immediately after ordering, they said there would be a delay. On business day 18, I got tracking info for ONLY 1 scooter. They said they were promised the other by the end of the week. So far, just stalling or inaccurate information. We BOTH work in the trucking industry so we checked the information they gave us and USF Holland said they were lying.

Okay by now you've probably realized you are buying a Chinese copy of a Japanese bike. I have the 2008 Duke 250.
I bought it through Scooter Nitro and yes they took awhile to deliver and yes when I called they gave me the runaround,
but don't lose all hope they did deliver. I have been riding the bike almost every day for a year and a half and it still runs
great. It's no Kymco or Mitsubishi, but hell for the money I wasn't expecting it to be. Enjoy and ride safe.

All the above sounds familiar. I ordered my machman on April 30 and received it a few days later . Every time I left home it left me stranded due to a dead battery. I finally found out that the stater had a short in it and drained the battery. I ordered a new one and in about a month, they sent me the wrong on. I reordered and as of this date I am still waiting. I have filed a complaint with the Missouri Attorney General.

Still waiting on those parts .
I have came across a CO> that makes a big bore kit for it, they push an show pictures of it at 80 mph.
OK! By now we are all on edge, shafted once are we ready for seconds . Cross that bridge if we can get this runing eneough, to see if IO can smash on bug on the windshield . Now don't everybody send me a dam bug that has already been smashed. Thank you.

My only hopes is that some that are looking for any of these Scooters Matchoman or what ever they may call them, said it before an repeat again. Patients, an more patients. An first off a good quality set to Metric tools . An do as I said in the beginning, go over it thourly .

An if any one looses that turn signal switch, and I know good and well you will . When you do Email me an an I will guide threw to help you back, but you will lose the self canceling. an if they repace it for you, that is another waste of time.
Next you will loose those Air Vents under passanger foot pegs. In the heat an vibration, those plastic dowel pins snap off .

I noticed some one said they got 70 mph out of theres, Still like to know how he got up the Mountain to come back down, I stated once before, only way throw it over the Great wall . Should of started there in the beginning.

As before I stated along the way, I had a M/C shop, an have plenty of tools, an patients. Yes, this is a BRAIN banger, for you do not have a manual, of parts break down threw out the total machine. If I am able this winter, I get eneough parts to try an se if this Pice of rice scraps, will ever get thjat bug.

Also, for beginners make you a table to work on this, on the floor dont get it, I have a regular hoist, but if you want the know how to fix your own, tabel I will help you . So simple you younger sister or girl frind can build it.

Have fun an patients. My heart goes out to one an all with your problem. Bob

In trying to find out a strange sound, when traveling, it sounds like something rubbing the fan blades.
Found out that was not it, It is the front mud flap. When it is warm out and you get up to 50 mph, that flap is fluttering in the breeze, against the fender making that sound. So project for this day .
Will let you know how I solve it. Knowing first thing is to remove front wheel. For what ever we do, it has a limited space to apply anything to stop it.

By now we all know ScooterNitro does not build these, (do it yourself kits ) May as well say that, for in no time you will have it scattered all over your work bench.
These are not a take out of the Crate, Service an go. For get ready the fun is about to begin. a Word to the wise, go over it an check all Nuts, Studs an screws, even if you have to take it apart, to get to the engine. For they never even put a Exhaust Gasket in it, ( How I found out it was making a louder an louder noise. Then I find that one stud an nut was gone, an the other stud the nut was gone, Then when I tore into it, we find that there was no Gasket, they even knew it, for they tourqued it down so hard that they bent the ears that hold the Exhaust pipe to the Cyclinder Head.
Have to say, putting New Tires that are round, made it ride a lot better. Still rides like sitting on a old log.
Now I just tore into the turn signal switch, when you tear into it. ( BEWARE there is a small round bearing they use in the function of this Switch. ) So be prepaired to use hand signals, or MFG, a way to make it work, with out that spring an bearing.I will let you know how, what I made up wors, with out going to a cycle shop an get a Quality built Switch.
Before I wrote about no instrunctions how to change the rear Tire. While I was fixing that Exhaust pipe, is when I changed that rear Tire. You loosen the Muffler Clamp, 12mm, an Remove the bolts that hold the Muffler, Next Loosen the AQxle Nut 22mm an then you can loosen the three studs that hold the Caliper, I advise that you have a 6 point socket 12mm
for they have them torqued down good, other wise you may round off the corners. Then you remove the 12mm stud that hols your shock., Remove Axle nut an an spacer, keeping things in order., an reverse to reassemble.
I also had a leak from fuel tank at the seam, I repaired it with JB Weld

As I stated ScooterNitro does not MFG these, yet why don't they, report to them, all these head ackes going on, Just like in the beginning, that Signal Switch, was not tightened down properly, to find out, there is a catch on the switch to keep it in position. They never drilled a hole in the handle bar for the pin. All I did was take a grinder an cut an indention.

Again, I say, if you don't have any patients, or Mechanical Knowledge, STAY AWAY. Even if they give it to you, you will get your test.

I forgot to tell you I made up my own gasket, was not easy. I took a solid piece of copper wire 10 gauge, an found a socket to match the size of the pipe( not the outer flange) wraped it around the socket. till ends met flush, made 2 of them, then I cut from the top of a can of Peanuts, the aliuminum, an put two of hose on top of the copper rings. TAKE YOUR TIME an make sure you have the same size hole as the I>D> of the Exhaust pipe.

I HOPE THIS GIVES SOME ONE SOME HELP. REMEMBER PATIENTS . AN some one should start a parts store, for as I read, an they tell me 3 weeks for parts, we shall see, for I order gaskets, Brake Pads ETC.

Ordered 2 New tires . Brand Name Avon.
For got to tell everyone, the seat has a cover, an what is under it, feals like the trunk of a Oak tree.
Comfortable, No way.
I would like to know how many miles anyone has put on one of these . Years ago I sold Tomos Mopeds, some of them are still running. The Helix I had, ( should of not sold it ) I had 36, 000 plus on it, 1 Belt an 3 sets of tires New spark [plug every 5000 miles), really didn, t need it, But I serviced it properly.
I want to hear if anybody has over 5, 000 miles on one, an no bull what was the highest speed you ever got out of it, with out going down a mountain side ?

Best of Luck, to one and all . Enjoy your ride.

Received Scooter As promised from Holland Trucking. Word of warning, when unpacking (250 series ) the medal crated it is in, Is very, very flimbsy. I would advise you have a second party to help you, till you get it completely out of this, so called crate.
next do not panaic, for there instructions are not up to par. An also as you read threw the instructions, there is no place do they tell you how to get the rear wheel off to change a tire . I would almost bet it will cost you three times as much as the tire to have a dealer change it. I have to purchase a New Rear tire for the one on there is out of round . Wants to play hop scotch. An as of now, you will not break any speed records, maybe going to slow. Pure gutless . I will repace there tire, an it is for sale. with 26 miles. Make better time walking.Made for down Hill only. I had a Helix an it would out do this 100 to one in everything. Almost bet it will never jump a fence . done it with the Helix an lived to drive away an talk about it. when I done such, I scared the heck out of everybody. Best of Luck to you readers.
