Serious Kontio Motors

Can't really find any decent reviews or info about the company and product quality but their cruiser scooters seem quite common. Does anyone have any info about them or personal experience? would love to get a scooter from them but I first must know what I'm getting into and what longevity to expect.

Do not. They are pieces of shit, had the misfortune of owning one for a couple years. It's so chinese that i'm surprised the one finnish word "kontio" i could find on the whole damn thing was spelled correctly. I suppose it did work but it was a plasticy shitbox with 3 keys and nothing that felt like it could have been done cheaper if they tried. The accelerator breaking could be viewed as a feature i suppose, since you got free throttle control when it no longer returned to 0.

I think the Kontio sticker is put there in Finland :D

My coworker has one. He bought it used (really cheap from another coworker) and had to fix something. Parts took a relatively long time to arrive but once he got it working it apparently has been quite reliable.

In conclusion: gets you from point A to point B but i wouldnt put "quality" in the same sentence
