Baja scooters appears like quite a great scooters for excellent cost, till they break up. Essentially these are single-use scooters. First month or two were excellent, the scooter was fairly zippy and quickly (particularly when you place more atmosphere within the tires, use quality gasoline, and artificial fat) - mine went more than 40 mph handful of occasions, though I'd a breeze assisting me move forward. I applied to experience it daily to function - around 10 kilometers one of the ways, and that I applied it throughout the breaks since it even more quickly to obtain around city than utilizing a vehicle. I had been truly enjoying it, then from the orange the scooter would not begin.
I quickly discovered that PEP Kids DON'T supply the guarantee or every other support for this scooter. If anything wheels you'll need to contact Baja Motorsport straight. They'll attempt do-do something to prevent getting it back. To begin with anticipate to invest 2 times waiting on-hold, hearing some BS concept how excellent Baja support and assistance is from Patagonia to Upper Canada. I am not attempting to exaggerate. Once I had been on-hold constantly for three hours. I believe they've just one man addressing all of the calls since each time i were able to ultimately get linked, it had been usually exactly the same individual. They're unhappy to listen to about warranty repairs. They'll keep slowing, purchasing, backordering components, contacting you back, I am talking about NOT calling you back before you can give up. I had been informed from the support man when I want components I ought to visit partsforscooters.com - this really is wherever they obtain components also. Good. I counsel you to complete exactly the same, miss a intermediary, and so they replied for my request via an email fairly quickly.
I continued repairing the scooter myself. When you unscrew any type of mess, there's an excellent opportunity you don't have the ability to screw it again. 1 / 2 of them clicked, about the partner the line got worn-out - they dropped out themselves. All rubber seals are therefore slim and delicate, i counsel you to not raise them. Our repair was fairly easy, simply defective electric connection, never-less I'd to disassemble nearly every plastic area of the body plus some additional elements. Be ready that any easy fix actually altering the spark plug demands getting nearly 50% of the scooter aside. It is an executive headache. All of the cables are simply "dangling" inside, a number of them are simply recorded with electric recording in the place of utilizing correct fittings. Screws are so-soft you are able to fold them inside your fingers. Oh well, you receive that which you purchase. For $800 you-can't expect much now-days.
Our guide is: do not purchase this scooter. I understand, the cost is attractive, but maintain it brain that year later it'll be value like $200, should you'll be fortunate enough it's still operating. I'd claim, conserve some cash or obtain a mortgage and obtain ford, yamaha or vespa. The resale price on these scooters is very good plus they are develop to last. Along with they have definitely better support, and its own easier to obtain components.
PS. Baja Motorsport stopped Baja SC50, several components become unavailable actually through 3rd party merchants.
