Default Cheap chinese scooter goes 3 miles then breaks, makes woman cry

I kinda think she deserved it, but its still a shitty situation.

The short version: Some lady was talked into buying a $1500 chinese electric scooter, rode it for under 3 miles and it died. The original seller is blowing her off and parts are almost non existant. She is now stuck with a $1500 paperweight.

Kinda wished I lived near her. I would try my best to fix it for her.

WTF is up with the dude that supposedly worked on electric bicycles/motorcycles and then went and fried everything. What a f'in idiot...

Your story is starting to filter onto different motorcycle forums, Elsa. I just read about your story from out here in Tennessee and made my way to your blog. Maybe you will find a fellow two wheeler near you who will lend a hand and get it back working or lead you to a decent alternative to your chinese nightmare. Wish I lived closer, I would try my hand at locating the issue. Good luck and I hope you don't give up on your two wheel dream just yet. Buying a motorcycle is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I wouldn't hesitate to help any of you pricks either, lol. I have had some people help me when I was having issues with a bike or two, don't mind returning the favor.

Was that really you?

I'd never make fun of somebody for helping out another but the wording was just very: kumbaya & fruity.

The man selling it was Mr. Brad Voisen of Voisen Motors. I researched his company online and found a website. They looked like nice people, and I was happy to be buying from an actual business rather than a private seller.

When we checked out the bike at Mr. Voisen's home in Encinitas, he seemed like a friendly old fellow. He showed us how the bike worked, and watched us ride down the street a few times. He assured us that the bike was in good condition. We chatted with him for a while about the importance of alternative energy, and I told him how excited I was to be able to do my part. I couldn't wait to take my new ride home!
Dear god
Reading this turned me conservative republican.

Unfortunately most republicans drive automatics so now I'm fucked.

Where do you guys get these retarded demographics? That's about as bad as tards assertion that the right was boring in bed while I was tying Victoria into silk knotted pretzels and fucking her brains out on the parts car out back where the neighborhood could hear.

Go to any polling place and smash the windows of people driving up to vote.
You'll find most of the cars to be automatic.
I bet you a majority of the self identified Republicans would say that the car they pulled up in with a smashed window is an automatic equipped vehicle.
That's not demographics
That is science.
