ScootDawg Forums - Hi from New Orleans

Hi, I'm John Phoenix. Soon to be known as "Lil Biker Dude" on my upcoming youtube channel. In my 50's I've always wanted to ride a motorized bike so I am buying a China 150cc scooter. I'm 5'3 with a 27 inch inseam and cannot even fit on a Ninja 250. I also don't like the idea of manually shifting although I can manual shit a car, I've owned two of those. My experience so far has been riding my 38 mph electric bike I built 11 years ago but want something with more range and power.

I am awaiting my "Razor" 150" from Redfoxpowersports to be shipped. This may have been a very Bad idea. I have read tons of bad things about the company and they do Not answer the phone ever it seems. If they refuse to ship, I can get the bank to yank back the money within 30 days. The bike isn't only a China El Cheapo it appears to be The Cheapest China El Cheapo around. I can find no videos of it anywhere. The company who is it's vendor DF-Moto doesn't even have scooters listed on their website. I have no clue who the manufacturer actually is. It appears the often looked down on Tao Tao cheap China scooter company is an A1 Rated company compared to these Redfox guys. Shame on me for not doing enough research. If I have problems and have to get my money back I'm thinking of getting a Tao Tao from a more reputable company such as ScooterMadness who actually has 4 warehouses of scooters throughout the US.

I'm here because I know I'm gonna need all the help I can get! Thank you!
