Hello guys, that websites is known amoung us old-timers as a "bait and switch" rip-off joint!

I just looked at the website and see a pic of a WC1 Whizzer, not made since 2004, the description below however, is of a 2-stroke that does NOT exsist! It appears to be the standard description of China-Kit, BUT there are no 98cc engines, and NO 4.5 HP, I HAVE been privy to the Dyno tests of the Nantong Jai Li engine factory.

BEWARE!!!

A couple of years ago they sold a Whizzer customer a kit for 750.00 supposed to be a Whizzer, was a "Chinese Handgrenade" cheap 2-stroke kit!!

Last year one of my customers in Sacramento wanted a Whizzer kit (which are NOT being made), he sent 750.00 and also got a Chinese 2-stroke kit!

There are others who have been ripped by this place, these are just two I actually know about.

As far as I know, there is not, and never were and 98cc chinese engine kits!

I hope this will help others from being ripped off!

Thanks for the info MotorbikeMike. I don't know all that much about the Wizzers but I thought it was an odd engine size. Do you know if anyone sells just a 138cc Whizzer engine? And where you can get one I would like to build up a custom bike rather than buying one ready made if possible. But I want one with a bigger engine as well

The warning MotorbikeMike has issued is valid.

Do not buy anything from that website!

Thanks again Mike.

having said that, and with the implied "Chinese hand grenade" thing...if it was truly a crappy chinese handgrenade, it wouldn't blow up!!!!

LOL!~

Maybe Taiwanese hand grenades are better.

I kind of had a hunch that the site sounded a bit fishy considering the engine size thanks for the help guys. May just have to save my pennies up and buy a vintage bike and restore it. Till then guess I'll stick with the 2 stroke HTs.

Hi Joe, you can be sure, that if this guy (extreme) will mis-represent everything, in every way, that he would not sell you the best of the Chinese engine kits, and that if it were possible, he would, on purpose, sell you one that would blow up easily! ( a Hand grenade!)

I am very sad that anyone would intentionally screw the public this way! I am especially sensitive to the people who have needs, neither wife nor I have worked since about July (she since the December of 07 for 3 days), and to take advantage of people who need (and deserve) a break is dispicable!

I have appealed to Whizzer (last year in fact) to stop this guy, and they were not willing to sue him to shut down his abuse of the Whizzer product. My customer Mark suffered for this! And he is not alone. I cannot stop this turkey, but at least I can help in warning others about his treachery.

The moment I saw that I knew what everyone has already posted. Maybe some one can order one and just send a piece of paper that says "$850" on it.
