Over at Autoblog someone noticed what we here in the scooter community have known for a while now: Geely scooter are cheap crap that you would be risking your life to ride. Eveidently autoblog noticed this because Geely is about to start making cars. I find that prospect very very scary indeed.
If the quality of products put out by Geely’s scooter division are any indication, potential buyers of Geely cars are in for a nightmare in which vehicles break after a short period and no parts are available to fix them, according to WOOD-TV.
One individual who bought a Geely scooter for $1K says the scooter died after two months, and the parts to fix it just aren’t available. A Geely spokesman said that while he’s not familiar with the scooter division, he could guarantee that the cars that will, they hope, one day be sold in the United States will be of much higher quality and will have the infrastructure necessary to provide parts and repairs in a timely manner.
