I PURCHASED A REKETA SCOOTER FROM ALL NEW SPORTS LLC. I'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ABOUT THE REKETA THAT ALL NEW SPORTS SELLS. MY RESEARCH WAS FROM THE INTERNET AND THE BBB. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE CONSISTENT. MOSTLY ELECTRICAL. THE VOLTS FROM THE MAGNETIC MOTOR PRODUCES 17 VOLTS TO A 12 VOLT BATTERY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED ALL MY BULBS TO BLOW AND THE BATTERY EXPLODED ON MY LEG FROM UNDER THE SEAT. ALL NEW SPORTS WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE STILL SELLING THE REKETA SCOOTERS. I HAVE A DEFECTED SCOOTER. HOW CAN YOU HELP ME WITH REIMBURSEMENT WITH THIS DEFECT PRODUCT. FILL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL IF YOU NEED MORE DETAIL ON THIS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. THANK YOU. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
