The thread to end all "are the ebay scooters good?"
The answer is very, very, very simple. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Bought mine and got it today, charged it, put it all together, put it in about 5 inches of water from my spa and turned it on and it turned on. Said sweet and met a friend at a local pool to mes around with it and the damn thing would not turn back on. Thought maybe the battery was dead but I put it back on the charger again and when it was full it still wouldn't run.

Did you buy from an individual or a certain store on EBAY?
If a certain store, let us know. There is one on there that routinely advertises a Sea Doo type scooter with metal gears and 2 batteries for $149 bucks including shipping. I've often thought about buying one. Is this the one you got?
