Bad Business Practices

I bought a new scooter from this company. It quit running at only 555 miles while still under warranty. I did all the scheduled maintenance to the letter using high quality products. I tried to get them to fix it several times and they only gave me a run-a-round (i.e. tighten screws, adjust carb, etc. is all they said). I am not going to pay $400 or more to ship it to them. They could have a local bike shop to fix it free since it was under warranty. So now I am stuck with a $1,279.00 ornament in my garage. Also, these scooters are made in China. I should have known better.
