I ordered this from Currie via Amazon on May 1. I was told it would ship within a week. It didn't actually ship until May 12, and only then possibly because I badgered Currie's customer service.

I think Currie is inefficient or understaffed. The young woman who was taking a previous order told me that after they work on the phone all day, in their "spare time" after the phone lines close down, they process the orders. (This was for a battery pack offer included in the original scooter package). That particular order might have taken 4-6 weeks.

Similar to others, I purchased a Schwinn stealth 1000 from Currie. Used it about 20 hours (max) and kept it in warm storage, with ongoing charges through the winter. Batteries are dead and replacements were quoted as $100 today (6/19/08)...after calling three times...waiting 20 minutes on hold. Scooter is great. Batteries are really poor. Currie customer service is not very good.

36 volt 10 Ah battery pack as advertised was nearly twice the price as 2 years ago and when ordered, suprise it was not in stock. Do not belileve this advertiser and look at the other reviews! Suggest finding another resource.

Purchased an extra battery from them, it seemed a bit weak compared to my other battery in that it didn't last quite as long, but kept it anyway. Now, after storing them for the winter, both are not lasting even half as long as before, the one that was weak is even worse, hardly even takes a charge. I followed their instructions on storing them, too. Now at the price they charge, I might as well forget this idea of using the bike to save money on gas and to be greener! The bike I have had to repair (rear tire) also. (Have the Schwinn 1000) It was/is fun, if only it didn't have this real problem with the batteries lasting or handling storage over the winter.

I have had a terrible experience with this company. I bought a top-of-the-line scooter from them and never-ever got a working product.

They simply offer to send me parts I don't need rather than fix the problem and send me a working unit.

They did, however, successfully string me along for months waiting on parts so that now enough time has gone by that even returning the product is not an option.

BUYERS BEWARE

I ordered the wrong size battery, web-site should state which models this battery is for. It has been returned.
