South City Scooters

Went there a couple months ago looking to purchase a scooter, I was told their scooters generally run for about $ 1,200 for a 49cc which to me is way over priced compared to everything online even when new. After not purchasing that day I continuously got phone calls from the place they go through for loans trying to get me to commit to buying one from them. Also, when i got there the first day I got there about 30 minutes before closing and all of the «workers» were sitting there drinking beer and not really doing much to help out with anything. Their business is poorly ran and smells like a mixture of beers, cigarette smoke and Hoosiers.

DON’T BUY A SCOOTER HERE! This guy sells junk, reels you in and he is the only person in St Louis who sells, can order parts or fix them. He is rude and arrogant after the purchase. Check out a well named scooter like Honda or Yamaha from a reputable business. Believe me, you will regret having to deal with this man.

Do not go or call here if you want assistance putting together a scooter that you bought online. They told me straight up that I was by myself on that one
Eventually I got help somewhere else and took it here for service. Generally friendly people, and I have no complaints so far.

I’m becoming disenchanted with this shop… After only having my scooter that I bought, brand new, from this shop for several months I’ve had to bring it in three times with issues… I had to buy a brand new battery, my luggage rack fell off while driving, so it’s cracked and banged up, and then I had some other issue (ok, I admit I don’t remember what it was, but I brought it in and it was an easy fix, but I definitely wasn’t thrilled about bringing it in several times in a few month span).
I was also kind of nervous when, literally 2 days after bringing it in for a first 250 mile check-​up, I looked down towards the rear wheel and a bolt was hanging there, not screwed in one bit. While I was riding in the Pride Parade no less! Not very safety inspiring for a road scooter that I ride in heavy commuting traffic most days.
