We bought two 110cc atvs from Legion Global in March for birthday presents for our sons. On the day of the party one of the tires froze up on one of them causing one of the children to fly off. My husband checked the tire, and the wheel bearings where not seated properly.
Then a couple of days later we were looking at them a little closer to see if anything else was wrong. We found that the tie-rods were loose, and nothing was torqued right. Plus one of them would not start. So we called Legion Global and they said that they would look them over.
So we got them back within a week. About a month later a screw came loose on the rear brake caliper one one of the machines. So when the brake was applied the whole caliper pivoted up off the rotor. Then two weeks after that I was across the street from our house in an empty Church parking lot.
The two boys were on their four wheelers and I was on our Polaris. We were getting ready to cross the street together. When I noticed my son on his four wheeler come flying across the parking lot and I yelled at him to stop. He just looked at me terrified and kept going. We have the throttle limit switch governed down to about 10-15mph, but he had to have been doing about 30mph or better when he passed me.
He went flying into the street, and hit the curb into the neighbors driveway causing the machine to flip over twice. The child has numerous scratches and bruises. The machine is totaled. After inspection of the machine the cause seems to be that the throttle cable and nut on the carburator vibrated loose and come off, to cause full fuel flow into the carburator causing the machine to accelerate rapidly.
Legion Globals response is we will supply the parts you pay the labor and it is only three months into a six month warrenty. Not even bothering to ask if the child was alright. Also, they said its the parents resposibilty to check every nut and screw on the machine.
