Warning, Will Robinson, Danger
« on: June 26, 2008, 01:19:58 PM »
As some of you are aware, last year I purchased a Vmoto Montego scooter. If you are tempted to purchase one of these,DONT. They are classic shite and could cause you severe injury or worse. I would like to say the quality is poor and should not be able to be presented to the public, but I cant. There IS no quality!
It consistanly loses bolts/ breaks bolts errr engine mounting bolts, and things shake ratttle and roll off.  I have found the engine drive train loose on the mounts, allowing the rear wheel to move or wobble sideways about 25-30 mm and is not a pleasant experience at 80 kmh on a freeway. The scoot has app 5000 klm on it.

Bad luck, and thanks for the tip off. Mind you, chanses of catching me on a scoot were a little slim in the first place, but it was a nice thought :D

Sorry to read you bought a 'pup'. Stick with the Honda 'postie' special mate.

My regards, Bill.

thanks Bill, the two reviews under "Ulysses" are my posts. The others, apart from the vmoto plants say the same thing. This also would effect the badge engineered "Sachs " version
