@scootertherapy, sorry to hear about your bad experience with this Chinese company.My writing NSR and off topic, for I had quite a contrary contact with:

Dongguan Yingfei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.

..where I ordered two 200Ah LifePo4 accus for my boat to replace 7 year old gel batteries.
The company contacted me via email after my order was placed and asked what appliance it would be, how I would charge those accus and what kind of connectors I wanted to have.
Accus came within 10 days, free delivery, with chargers, built in digital display, aviation sockets, etc.
All in all, a satisfying deal.
Nice. What 'are' you using it for? lolz
I bought about 6k worth of life power 24v. batteries .. 4500 ah total for 3 batteries and some other things, from signature solar..  One battery stopped charging.. Got them  for the same price as it would have cost me from China. So some things are cheaper, some not..

Edited your post - we are not a forum to air such purchase issues. Please advise those interested in buying an electric scooter from overseas to PM you to learn of your negative experience.
You didn't pay by PAYPAL - or eBay? Both have recovery methods.
If you used a credit card - most have a mechanism to return your purchase price.

Well you aired a positive purchase experience, so that should be edited as well .. right? This internet wide censorship is getting really old.  I paid by wire transfer as ali would not take any of my cards at the time. I sent the same company more money (for tires which they mis quoted the shipping method & cost) after alibaba added a paypal option and I got my money back. Same company. But a partial refund of 150 (of the 5000 wire) got lost by ALi and now they want to send more back to ali for them to lose. Not happening. They claim it's not their issue, but I'm not the one in business with alibaba, they are.

Seems like bizzarro world when an american censors another american who speaks ill of a chinese company. But his appears to be where we're headed as a nation.  Got to keep up your social credit score for xi..

Bought my electric scooter last year.  Rear tire wore out real fast. It had a slow leak I could never find.
Thought I purchased 2 more 8 months ago, including the one in my thumbnail.  Never arrived, no tracking number no refund.  Avoid H-H Technology. They are are terrible liars.

Told them to refund it directly via paypal and they claim to not have a paypal account.  Just a heads up. I know most here probably don't care for electric scooters.

What’s the real world range on this one then?  I love the idea of an electric scooter (eg the Vespa Elettrica), but a 70 mile range and capped 45 mph top speed have put me off so far.

50-60 Km is the range on the 1500 watt version. I imagine this one (3000 watt) is higher. I usually stop at 50km bc my driveway is steep and I've already pushed it up once , after removing the battery of course;  and top speed on this one is 70km. I can't seem to find the hack to change the display over to miles. Does not bother me that much, but I can see it there on start up... lolz   

The pollution was the biggest thing for me.  I can ride this for an hour and get a larger buzz than what I was getting from gas & that was zero at my age, 62. I like the free recharges from my solar panels.

I spend a great deal of time on it standing. It's so much fun.  8) The mirrors actually set up perfectly on this, unlike my like 200I and the kick stand actually cuts off the motor. . Quality is very good.   Of course one can buy extra batteries.  May keep the extra scoot I bought for that reason.

After riding this for over 700km, I'm thoroughly converted to electric.  I have 2 others on order. One is the same as this, diff. color and the other is a vespa style.
Really like the idea of not getting my lungs skunked, no more gas, oil changes, spark plugs.

Found an el cheapo action cam that I modified to attach with magnets. That'll allow me to move it from one bike to another easily.  Probably going to sell the other one like this to offset the cost of the vespa style scooter.

Since riding the Vespa Electrica I wanted one; but I tested the EMF radiation coming off the Vespa and it was very high. And yet they don't advertise any 'connectivity'.  No one could explain why it was there. I don't use cell phones so, either way I don't want that.. The people that sold me my first electric scooter also sell these. I have this one on order w/ some upgrades.  Tested the EMF on the first one and nothing, in fact nothing in any radiation category was very remarkable. Don't want to trade one pollutant for another.

Purchased another stand/ sit type to sell to offset some of the cost of the second scoot... Don't mind keeping it as well either.  Electric kick butt in a lot of ways. These stand/ sit scoots have a 3 speed trans. Took me 200 km to figure that out.  Guess I was so happy to be scooting again w/ no pollution that the gear indication on the dash was blurred to me.

I dare to say you will be welcomed in this forum with your E-ride, 'cause most of members here are "petting" all kind of two- or fourwheelers.
Kymco themselves put up an E-scoot.(pls see pic)
Thank you. Think I'll hang out then. Amazing how much scooting helps lift spirits. I could not wait for this thing to get here. 

So.. is that now sold in the US?  Wouldn't mind a second more trad. e scoot.
This one is more standing friendly with a tampon sized seat. I'm gradualy learning to stand on it.

👍great color, congrats to that.
Could you pls give some details about motor (kw) etc.?
If its not too nosy, maybe its price too?


It's weird. There is no reply button to your comment. Just says error.Thought I included the power rating in the first post. It's 3000 watts, 63 volts at 20 amps. It's goes fast enough for me, about 35 top end but I'm on the heavy side. Battery weighs about 35 pounds. Yikes. Charged fast, but it may have been mostly charged when I got it. Says about 6 hours. I have solar running my shed so it will mostly be free. 

  Um.. no problem sharing what I paid. There is no forum for these bikes. I'm homeless now.. lolz I joined an electric scooter club only to be told it was for those stand up types. I got most of it from the sale of my like/  I paid 1878 including delivery to to the inside of my shed, from China.  alibaba.  They are listed at 980 now plus shipping.  Pretty sure the same as when I purchased.

Used to ride my like and not feel sleepy (bc of the exhaust)  unlike my younger days. . With this I felt really sleepy after riding it and got a good nap. I'm 62, so that's important these days. lolz.  Company that shipped it was very thorough. Given all the shipping issues in the world, the timing still worked perfectly weather wise.

LIKE 200i / Sold my Like
« on: May 19, 2021, 05:18:43 PM »
Sold my like bc I could no longer take the fumes.  Someone bought it in jan or feb. Turned the money right around and sent it to China for one of these electric bikes. Very fun. Easy to put together and goes fast enough for me.  No tag, taxes .. none of that.  Just arrived yesterday. I drove it for 20 minutes or more and the battery level hasn't moved. and no more asthma issues.
Must admit, it was painful being scooterless for that long tho.

I'm on here hoping they'll say they're bringing a decent electric scooter here. Any chance of that?  Selling my like 200i for the same reason I sold the last several scooters I owned. Too much smog for my lungs. The downside is more than the upside... fresh air wise.

In my area the hot items are UTV'S. Kind of crazy with the price over 20k. 

20k would pay for my entire Kymco scooter collection, LOL.

They love them here. The more expensive the better. I bought a used xB to tool around my property & carry tools here & there. They just ride theirs on the street anyway.

The local inbreds here all drive w/ their lights on all the time. I think they think it makes their car (from the 80's🙄) look newer or more expensive. It's pretty much all of them that do it. They also never wash their cars or themselves, ever.
