New Scooter Mechanic!
I have been waiting for an awesome scooter mechanic for around 17 years now. I believe I have found one! Thank you for coming to me to change my tire on my PCX! I will definitely be calling for more of my mechanical needs. Thank you JR!
Free shipping Dirt Bike for my son.
Finally a place that doesn’t hide shipping cost,, what you see is the cost **
Answers your emails in English….,, keeps to his shipping schedule. Speaks English……
Trying to buy a dirt bike online used to be a huge headache,, what you got was not what the picture looked like. Have had dealers promise you options on a bike that didn’t even exist,, hoping that you would never return the bike back due to shipping & restock cost..,,
You have to pick 3 colors hoping one would show up. Then it did an it was 2nd hand quality… no more..
Bike arrived in perfect condition..Good Quality.. Shipping service used was excellent,, on time,, no excuses. No damage,, .
You have a new customer to add to your list now,. 🙂 Great Job.
2021 Linhai Woodsman 300
We bought an ATV from JR in 2021. We’ve now put over 300 hours on it with no problems. The ATV does more than we thought it would. We’ve harrowed pastures, hauled loaded trailers, traveled off road, and generally used it to get around our 10 acres in snow, mud, water, etc. Easy to use, starts every time, easy to maintain. JR is a pleasure to deal with – a real honest man who stands behind what he sells.

Motobravo GK_250 go cart
I’m very impressed by ThriftyScooters’ efficiency and knowledge. I Sent JR a picture of a Motobravo GK 250 Dune buggy spline with a brief description of what I was looking for. He came back with a price and availability the same day. That was impressive but what was even more impressive was that he went out of his way to accomodate me by making sure I could get my part the following day(friday) just in time for my w/end outting. Price for part and shipping were very honest and fair. I live in Southern California and there are a few dealers here but none have after sale service like Thrifty does. Shop Thriftyscooters with confidence!

KMD MUV 110cc
I just wanted to say that not only was this a great company to order from but the product and the customer service I have received was well beyond what I expected. I did not have to do a thing the utility vechicle (I call it a miniture Rhino)showed up ready to go, so all I did was put a red bow on it and surprise my son the next day. Thanks to JR my son had a wonderful birthday present on time (no thanks to me orderig it late…lol) but you took great care of us. Thank you again 🙂

Wheel for NST DB200 Enduro
JR,
I have to take a moment to say THANK YOU! I have been looking for rear wheels for my two NST DB200 Enduros for nearly nine months. I live near Salt Lake City, UT. I have talked to people all over the country from Florida to California to Washington. Most said they could not help me. A handful tried but were never able to deliver. Some even tried China. I even contacted the manufacturer. First they sent me the wrong wheel and then they told me they could not help me. I was pretty to surprised to hear that the manufacturer could not even help me.
JR, you have been the only person on this planet to help me. What makes it even better is the quality of the wheels. The spokes are a heavier gauge and the hub is a higher quality metal.
Thanks for coming through for me when no one else on the planet was able to help. You were great to work with. Your expertise with the DB200 really put me at ease. I thought I had made the biggest mistake in my life. You made me happy with my motorcycles again. I would recommend you to anyone.
Thanks again for your help,

Roketa 110cc Engine Knowledge
I’ve been a mechanic for 40 years, and I know most engines have characteristics that make each one unique, and some can even be difficult. The Rocketa 110cc Go-Kart I worked on wasn’t starting, so I called JR for advice. He ran down all the usual troubleshooting, and then came up with just a small comment about the air filter needing to be attached in order to start the engine. I attached the air filter, and it started! JR saved me a lot of self-doubt and wasted time with his expert knowledge of these engines. Thanks, JR!

Roketa-64 300cc ATV repair
I went to JR with all kinds of issues with my Roketa atv-64 Sport 300cc that I purchased used from someone and never even got a chance to ride it in good condition. I had issues with the starter the rear shock was blown and it was falling apart and everything on it was loose. After looking at the atv for me JR assured me it would work like a totally different machine after he was done with it. After finding all the parts for the ATV at a very fair price JR asked me to bring it in. He fixed everything for me and I got the atv back the next day! I have tested my atv it just around the neighborhood and so far it DOES ride like a totally different machine. I plan
on taking it out this weekend and tearing it up I am confidant I wont have any more problems…. This IS THE MAN TO GO TO FOR FOR ALL YOUR OUTDOOR TOYS! I AM IMPRESSED!

Seaseng 125cc dirt bike
I appreciate JR’s efficient and knowledgeable service. I had a lot of difficulty finding someone who could supply parts for a Seaseng dirt bike. JR’S Knowledge about the products he handles and his quick response to questions made it a snap to get the items I needed. His pricing and prompt shipping are great. I will use Thrifty Scooters when ever I need parts for the Seaseng 125cc dirt bike.

Appearance Surprise
My 150cc MC-04 Roketa scooter arrived in excellent condition and was packed so well that it took me two hours to remove all the bolts and nuts to move the scooter off the wooden skid. After removal, I saw it was more beautiful and complete than I had anticipated. The neighbors and my wife stated its appearance is beautiful, racy, futuristic and sexy. I agree. It would have helped,though, to have instructions on how to mount the trunk box. The rear view mirrors were relatively easy to mount. Now, I still need to add the battery and gas to ride, but I’ll bet all the neighbors will be envious of this seventy-four-year-olds mode of transportation! Thanks JR for your support. Bob Hulse

Motoravo Paparazzi MP-150
I had been trying to obtain a speedometer cable for my Motobravo Paparazzi 150cc scooter through my repair shop for months. After trying many web sites I found Thrifty Scooters and got excellent service at a good price. My cable was delivered over an extended weekend, and I’m back to riding. Thanks for your prompt and gracious help.
Curtiss Gilbert
DB-07 200cc Enduro
Got the bike on Friday. It arrived in perfect shape, the metal frame inthe box took a hit, but in a good place where it could not have hit thecontents. The only damage I noticed was that the front axle bolt wasslightly bent, which I noticed only when turning it, but it didn’t seemto affect installation fit or performance so I didn’t worry about it. Anyway, bottom line, the bike is awesome! I followed all instructions andcarefully put it all together over two days including tightening/checkingall bolts, using loctite including on the front axle and lower suspensionlinks, changing the oil, oiling the air filter and adjusting/testing allcables and electrics. Fired it up yesterday and put 13 slow and carefulbreak in miles on it riding it around the self storage facility. It ridesbeautifully and has great power, sound feel etc. I’m not sure how long itwill last but right now it feels and rides to me just a like a Honda. Infact, I have to say I’m generally quite impressed with the quality of themost of components. The only exceptions are the gas cap and the headlightwhich appear a little crude, but no complaints. One additional thing, Inoticed some websites had a line in the specs for remote start/remotealarm and all listings I saw said “no”, but guess what, this one hasboth, including two key fobs with lock/unlock, start, and alarm and theyall work great! You should probably include that in your listings, if you can rely on it. On a side note: the box had a correct color picture ofthe bike, but listed the “ITEM NO.” as “RDZ-200-BLACK AND WHITE (DB-07H).On the web the RDZ appears to be a dirt only bike, so once again it seemslike the Chinese are still working on model designations but in this caseit all turned out well. Overall I’m very satisfied, thought you shouldknow. Thx, JTW

Hey JR
I love the bike. I have put about 30 miles a day on it since I got it and no problems what-so-ever. My only regret is that I took so long to order it and its getting cold now!
Thanks,

AWESOME
JR,
You’ve been awesome. My Roketa Bali 150 cc scooter was down for nearly four months and in a repair shop where the guys could not find a fan for it. In addition to that they broke the first part I ordered from you, the inlet, but I wasn’t worried about where to find one. You keep us rolling and I just want to say thanks.

KMD 250cc ATV-57
I got the KMD 250cc ATV from JR, and I LOVE IT! We looked and looked for an ATV, and by far Thrifty Scooters had the best deals! JR made the whole experience pleasant. He got back to all my questions within hours of me sending them, if not sooner.
Once the ATV was delivered to my house, it took a little work to get it out of the crate it was shipped in, which was packed well, so nothing was damaged. Then we had to attached the tires, and a few other things, put gas in it, and it started right up.
The only complaint I have is there is no assembly instructions that explains where everyhing goes (nuts and bolts, etc), and that the owners manual is a little outdated. But we had no problems getting it together. It just took a little brain power to figure it out.
Other than that, we had a great experience dealing with JR and Thrifty Scooters! We feel like we got a GREAT ATV for a GREAT DEAL!
Thanks JR and Thrifty Scooters!

Timely Help
I purchased an instrument cluster from Thrifty Scooters for my Motobravo Paparazzi 150 to replace the original. Installed it and found the speedometer/odometer didn’t work. Emailed JR to return the new unit. However, JR suggested I make some tests first before I went to the expense of returning the unit.
Ran the tests and everything looked good. Further emails with JR got me thinking and I discovered the speedometer was only sluggish. After working with it, it improved to the point of providing accurate readings.
JR saved me a lot of time and expense. He was unusually responsive and helpful. In my experience this kind of help and service is very unusual. I will certainly buy all of my needed parts from Thrifty Scooter.

Great service!
JR is extremely knowledgeable about scooters, and he uses his knowledge in the very best way: to help the customer without price-gouging. He showed me how to fix my own scooter (who does that?) and had the best price on the part I needed (I checked around). My brother in law took his scooter somewhere else for repair and is broke now. Customer service is very important to me, and ThriftyScooters delivers it! My business will always go JR’s way!

A+
Buying a scooter over the internet is a little scary. JR gave me all of the right information and made the buying process easy. My scooter arrived within a week of the order date. Some assembly was required for my scooter, but I was prepared for that. JR helped me and was very responsive for all of the little questions and details I was looking for. All in all, a very positive experience.

I Own two Zongshen Motorcycles.. a 200cc storm and Gs250 street bike… they are a blast… the GS 250 developed a problem and has sat for a while waiting for a part which turned out to be the (stator) which I hadn’t been able to find. JR hooked me up with a new stator and sent it right out! Thanks for saving my riding time this summer on a great bike! If you need it JR can find it for ya and get it to you quick! Thanks JR!

Great LLK 150cc Scooter
Received the scooter in record time, paperwork arrived soon after the scooter. This was a smooth transation. The scooter arrived in great shape, shipped on the 13th and arrived at my house the 16th. The handle bars, mirrors, battery, and footboards where all that needed to be installed. I charged the battery while changing the oil and it started up with no problems. Everything works great. Thank JR. It’s more than I expected.

Road Warrior 250cc
Hey JR,
I was a little worried about ordering a motorcycle on line. However after speaking to you on the telephone I placed the order for the “Road Warrior Chopper”
I gotta tell you I did not believe it when I removed the cover containing “Baby” that’s what I call her now. The pictures on line do not really show off Baby’s curves and sleek lines.
Easy assembly to get her ready for the road. While putting on her finishing touches people stopped by asking many questions. My friend, a Harley rider, eyed Baby and said I can’t believe got got that much motorcycle at such a great price. Baby and I will hit the road soon and I know that eyes will pop as we go by.
Jr, I can not thank you enough for all the help answering my many questions and for your support. You and Baby have put back the desire of a 64 year old man requiring oxygen 24/7.
Oh by the way Baby is the only one in Abilene Texas.

Excellent Service
I needed some parts for my JL250P. The seller I originally purchased the bike from no longer sells them. After some searching, I found Thrifty Scooters. They were able to order the parts I needed, shipped them promptly. I’m very happy. I will definitely do business with them in the future.

3-110cc & 1-125cc atv’s
I have to admit, I was very wary of ordering something so large blindly on line, BUT I’m very pleased with what I received! We ordered 3 110cc’s and a 125cc, they came in less then a week, the 110’s were very easy to put together and took more time to get out of the metal packing frame then anything else, the 125cc took slightly more time to assemble, only because the shocks were not bolted and it was slightly larger to move around, It took about three hours for four atv’s, including taking them out of the packing. They look great, we charged the batteries and had a minor problem getting them all started, turns out gas wasn’t getting to the carb, JR was helpful in returning phone calls and walking us through some trouble shooting to get them to work, when my husband got home he quickly had them going and off the kids went! We will be ordering again!!!!
