I bought a Baja Motorsport SC150 Scooter at Atwoods in Stillwater Oklahoma for $1100. Brand new. It cost me $150 to license it and $300 to insure it and after riding it about 3 times... A total of about 60 miles and in less than a month after purchase, the engine locked up.
Called Atwoods and they said they don't do that... Take it to the authorized mechanic. We did that. Baja didn't even want to pay to have it checked out. Said, and I quote "It is our policy that whatever goes wrong is the customers fault... Always the customers fault."
They refused to repair it and refused to refund my money. They grudgingly, after a lot of fighting over the phone, agreed to allow a diagnostic to be done. But refused to pay for more than one hours work!
This scooter has been nothing but trouble from the start. Atwoods refuses to refund my money either.
In my opinion this is piss poor business and I will NEVER buy another item from Atwoods nor will I ever buy anything from Yamaha... Who owns Baja!
From what I understand, from another source, they are under a lawsuit for just this sort of thing... By many people. DO NOT EVER buy from this company... You might just as well flush your money down the toilet!
I have contacted a lawyer and I am going to fight to get my money back. When I told them this they all of a sudden wanted to repair the scooter... Too little too late.
The mechanic also told me that the engine parts are plastic and worthless. This scooter isn't worth $2 much less $1100.
