I purchased a jm star or shanghai motors expressway 250 scooter, this has been re-badged in the us as a redstreak expressway 250 on july 14th, 2007. After riding this scooter on july 21st and stopping at a gas station to refuel, the scooter would not restart. We had it jump started to get home, but this didn't work too well.

scooter, he stated that they have been having problems with the batteries. So we purchased a new battery and charged it up. The technician at the shop where we purchased the scooter also mentioned that the alarms were a draw on the system and that they have been removing the alarms. He explained over the phone to my husband how to remove the alarm. The weekend of august 10th, I was riding my scooter and we stopped to get ice cream at a place locally. When I went to start my scooter it was dead again and did not start. We got it jump started and rode it directly home. We brought the scooter to the dealer who sold it to us on august 15th, they determined they thought it was a charging problem. They ordered a stator for the scooter. The stator arrived and the dealer did not have the correct tools to remove this part. The tool was ordered and received at the dealership, the problem was still not fixed. The voltage regulator was also replaced while there. The technician said all of the problems were fixed and we rode it home after being in repair for 25 days. I rode the scooter for 2 days, and on the 2nd day it did not start again. **** Please note this website does not allow me to pick the correct vehicle make or model, therefore the vehicle description is not correct, please refer to the top of this description for the correct make and model ***** *jb
Motorscooter speedometer does not read correct speed. It reads between 8 and 10 miles per hour above actual speed. For example, speedomerter reads 50mph but in reality I'm driving at 40mph. Problem persists regardless of speed. Consequences: 1) driving under the minimum speed limit in a federal highway when driver thinks he/she is actually at least at minimum speed limit. It can cause crash by larger vehicles coming from behind at larger speed. For example, rider actually riding at 35 mph on a federal highway...

minimum speed of 45 mph eventhough rider thinks he/she is at legal speed. What was done to correct the problem: 1) took the vehicle to a dealer in probo, utah and reported problem. Service desk seems to be aware of the problem as he indicated all kymco people 150cc shows the same problem. I asked if a recall has been issued or if I could buy a new system to replace. The response was that there was no recalls and if I bought a new speedometer the problem would persist. I now have to guess at which speed I'm riding at. At this time (08/19/07) when I'm riding in a 25 mph street, I ride my scooter reading at 35 mph. It is not safe, specially to those owners that are not aware of the problem. In addition to safety issues, my motorscooter now reads ridden kilometers in excess to actual usage. Depreciation of vehicle is greater then actual due to misleading speedometer. *Tr
