Complaint Review: Rabbit Scooters

Back in October of 2005 I purchased a moped/scooter type of transportation from Rabbit Scooters AKA Sea Beyond International. This company advertised on their website that the scooters particularly the scooter that I was purchasing was street legal. Since I lived close to their city of business I decided to stop by their place of business and purchase the scooter that I was eyeing on their website. The Model name of the scooter was called a Tank 50.

After I purchased the scooter I received a document from Rabbit Scooters stating that the scooter I purchased does not conform to U.S. Federal Specifications. The worst was yet to follow! After the purchase I used the scooter on and off and in December of 2005 I decided to take it out for a spin. The scooter had about 90 miles on it at this time. I tried to start it but it wouldn't start.

Of course I went through the motions of contacting Rabbit Scooters and trying to solve this problem. They wouldn't even fix the scooter nor would they exchange it for the same type of model. Well, I know this Ripoff Report is kind of late but I figure better late then never. Besides, I had to get this off my chest. It's been nagging on me for months now.
