Problems w/ licensing a Zoom Scooter ?
Has anyone out there been able to get a license plate for a Zoom Scooter? I was told by the local authorities to get a plate. I took my title (which did not come with the scooter until I requested one) into the Treasurer's office at the courthouse to register it and had no luck at all. First thing they said was "Ampere" should not be on the top of the tittle, "Zoom" should be instead, and they told me to send the title back to them to have it changed as there was nothing shown relating or connecting the Ampere company with Zoom.com. Zoom wouldn't do it. Then they said I'd need a complete bill of sale with buyer and seller's full info, plus all the same details needed when purchasing a car (mileage statement, driver's license number, year, color, model, etc.). Where do I get one of those? As I bought it on line via text messages with their salesman in California, I have NO bill of sale. I showed them my bank record with the $1899 deduction on my debit card, but they said that they couldn't use that. Well, I've had it for a year now and there it continues to sit. It's still not licensed nor does it appear that it ever will be. Wish I'd have put the $1899 down at the Honda dealer on a scooter or motorcycle that I could actually ride.
I did get to put 600 miles on it before being told to have it licensed. Aside from the guards, fenders, hardware and other items falling off, and the fact that the damned thing stops in its tracks if caught in any small rain storm, it worked pretty well for the 10 to 15 miles it could go on a full charge. Never got 20 miles out of a charge once, much less the 60 mile range advertised. Let the buyer beware, don't waste your $ on a Zoom!
