| The cover of the speedometer has gone almost completely opaque, rendering it nearly impossible to see how fast i'm driving or how much gas remains in the tank. the manufacturer claims that since the vehicle is no longer under warranty, i have to pay out of pocket to fix this problem. however, this defect is not due to wear and tear or any consumer error, and should be the responsibility of the manufacturer to fix since it could potentially cause accidents. this complaint is actually for a diamo retro moped, but that wasn't a choice on the last menu, so i chose velux. *tr | |||

| The vehicle (diamo velux scooter) has: an unsafe wind profile: the bike is dangerously susceptible to even light winds. dangerous braking characteristics: extreme pressure is required to stop the bike even though it only weighs 300 pounds. emergency braking would not be possible under normal conditions. dangerous shock absorber design: even small changes in road smoothness will cause the bike to respond in unexpected ways. body compartment latch: the rear external compartment is prone to opening while driving creating a hazard for the driver. this is exacerbated by the shock absorber problem. windscreen: all diamo velux bikes (according to the distributor - ls motorsports) have a stain on the windshield caused by the wiper blade. this is distracting to the driver. handling characteristics: motorcyclists depend on agility. this bike is unstable in turns and exhibits a high degree of instability even when changing lanes. unpredictable starting acceleration: the automatic transmission on the bike is unpredictable in how much throttle is required to start the bike moving at the correct speed. *tr | |||
