Running them through ripoff report . com they've gotten some bad press and have actually tried to get their names off it, to no avail.

Yeah, Weedylot, maybe print an official looking check up on a piece of flimsy rubber, sign it, and send it off to 'em!

Time to smell the coffee!
Whizzer USA does not make a 2-stroke motor kit. Although Whizzer has been informed of the mis-leading advertizing, they chose not to fight with the scooter company, not sure why. Whizzer stopped supplying the 138 CC 4 stroke kit over a year ago. They told me it was because an authorized Whizzer dealer was selling a motorbike using their motor and felt it was competition to them selling thier NE5 motorbike. They even told me they were going to use the excuse that they weren't making money on the motor kit. The part of their plan I found to be funny was they sold the last of the remaining kits to the Authorized dealer that caused them to stop supplying the kits in the beginning.

It is sometimes hard to figure out the logic they use in some of thier decisions.

Have fun,

It's amazing that Whizzer has not pushed for a cease and decist order...It's cheap, ($300.00), and would shut them down immediately pending a court appearance which they would surely no-show having no grounds for an argument to the cease and decist order.

I didn't realize it was that much trouble.

I'm living in the past on this one anyway...the last one I was involved in was in 1999. I was designing fitness equipment for a company in Ft.Lauderdale. We had a competitor knock-off one of our machines. The owner had the lawyer that was on retainer file a cease and decist order. I met with him and gave him all of my dated drawings. From the meeting I got the impression it wasn't that much work.

It's not that much work...but $300 doesn't buy that much work. Maybe an hour and a half.

I can write a nice threatening letter for less... and that is where I would start.

I emailed them for fun after reading this post to see what kind of reply I would get. I told them I was interested in the large 2 stroke they had to offer & that I wanted one that was high quality & not like the other cheap 2 strokes that I have seen on E-bay. They just replied today, they sent me a pic of one of the really, really cheap 2 strokes & gave me a price of ONLY $499.00. Wow, they are scam artists! There is nothing wrong with mark up as thats what makes the world go round, but lieing & saying it's something that it isn't is another. I was never interested in buying from them, I just wanted to see what there reply would be. I just wanted to check them out & see how bad this co. really is & the bottom line is, They are thieves & liars. BEWARE OF EXTREME SCOOTERS!!! It may sound good, but as every one else has said in this post, STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!
