Electric Starter

Alrite folks, Bought a new scooter ( Huatian 125cc ) around 9 Months ago, After around 6 Months the electric starter died out, When i took it back to the dealer he told me it was because i wasntt making long journeys to recharge the battery and then in turn wasnt enough power in the batt for electric start.

I only use it for work which is around 5 Miles round trip.

He told me to lay off the electric start for a while and just use the kickstart, I havent used the electric start since he has told me this but its still not working.

Although saying that, If i take the bike out for a while it the electric start would work maybe once or twice after a long journey but fail after that again. Is this common, Is the Dealer B**lshi**ing me or is there anything i can do to fix the problem?

Thanks

Chris

Sounds like it's chinese rubbish and the dealer is trying to fob you off. I would be demanding they fixed the problem.

On any normal quality bike from one of the main manufacturers you would have no problems with that sort of daily mileage and would have at least a 3 year warranty.
