Carolina Fun Machines:
I just love my new scooter. You guys are great. The buying experience was
painless and you seem to know your products well. Call me a worry wart if
you will; I've been reading on the Scoot Dawg forums about people's
experiences with similar scooters as my Znen 150cc 7C. Some people have
discovered un-greased fork head bearings. Their symptoms are tight,
low-speed steering. I have not experienced this symptom with my scooter.
Have you ever had this problem with scooters you sell?
Sincerely,
Michael
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for helping me out of a bad situation. Purchasing a scooter on the internet is risky, I knew that, but I had no idea how ludicrous it was! Since the date of purchase (June 2008), I have had nothing but problems. Although both Tim and Eric gave it a very gallant effort to right a terrible wrong by putting numerous labor hours on trouble shooting, replacing all electrical components, water pump and various gaskets, the end result was the same. Get rid of it with less than 1200 miles!! I am so appreciative of you guys working with me on a new replacement. Being a small business owner myself I must say you guys display a wonderful business model for everyone to follow. It’s not often that a consumer experiences the quality of sales and services you offer. In a short period of time you made me feel very at ease of the hard decisions confronting me. I can only blame myself for trying to save very little money and purchasing blind off the internet. Thank goodness I stumbled across you guys to bail me out. It is such a relief to walk outside and hit the start button and have it crank immediately. I am enjoying my new ZNEN 250-B immensely. Your honesty and integrity is greatly appreciated.

As I was driving home today, Friday, there was RAIN! I thought oh at least we'll get the scooters next week. But to my surprise, in the garage, was my red scooter!!
I fed Buddy, checked out the bike and then Philip and I went for my test drive around the neighborhood. I got lots of double looks. Several 'nice scooter' and 'cool bike'.
I love my red scooter! I'll need to have a photo taken and send it to you.
Once again, Thank you!
Oh, can you mail me a few more of your business cards. I've already given out my half.

I purchased a 150cc 16 inch wheeled Roketa scooter online last summer and thought I had really gotten a great deal, until bolts (that weren't tightened at the factory) started falling out everywhere! Even the front disk brake caliper bolts came out and the caliper fell off!! I finally had to completely dismantle the scooter to check for anything amiss; I still have one important looking bolt that I have no idea where it goes. Then the scooter wouldn't even start up! After that, I discovered a dent in the rear wheel rim that must have been done in transit.
I then was fortunate enough (blessed is a better word) to find Carolina Fun Machines, where I purchased a Lance "Pheonix" 150cc scooter for not much more than the "online" machine! Even the appearance of the Lance scooters sold at Carolina Fun Machines are much more refined than of the other makes I've seen around town. And when Tim let me ride the Phoenix, that was all it took! The bike is mine now, and it is the sweetest scooter I have ever been on. It handles and feels better, is safer, and it even goes 15mph faster than the Roketa 150cc I purchased last summer over the internet!
Thank you Tim and your crew for everything and being so easy to work with!

I have a 2007 Vespa LX 150. The factory installed alarm system was draining my battery system. Tim at Carolina Fun Machines understood my problem and recommended a "trickle charger" that would keep my battery fully charged by hooking into my electrical outlet in my garage while my scooter was not being used. It worked perfectly and cost less that $20!
One day I absent mindedly took off on my scooter with the cord still attached to my garage electrical outlet and yanked the cord out of the charger ruining the trickle charger. I went back to Carolina Fun Machines expecting to have to buy a new charger. Tim took a new charger out of a box and replaced the cord into my damaged unit, and it worked perfectly. Even though I offered to pay him, Tim would not take a dime!
I feel for certain my pricey Vespa is a better quality scooter than Tim currently sells (it should be given the price). However, Carolina Fun Machines service and prices are light years better than the local Vespa dealer.
I wish Tim and Carolina Fun Machines continued success.
