Congrats..but make sure you checked that the dealer you bought it from has them in stock!

Welcome! Every state's registration is different, but these are 49-state EPA/DOT certified, so people have successfully registered them in a very difficult state like New Jersey. You generally need the bill of sale (receipt) and the MCO (or MSO); 'Manufacturer's Certificate (or Statement) of Origin. You will most likely have to pay sales tax to your state, but again, depends what your state does because every one is different. Some states will require a visual inspection.

Anyway, where did you buy your bike from? Your retailer must have bought the last remaining bikes because according to the distributor, they are sold out!

I got it from saferwholesale. I called them and he said they had orange and red left. So I got the orange. Was going to get the Brozz, but everyone seems to be out of those. I hope this thing has enough power.. lol So whats the best way to break these motors in, and what should i expect putting this together?. Looks pretty easy. I heard they ship these things with crappy oil, so im guessing i should change that before break in?

Have you read about "saferwholesale"? I called them and ordered and paid with an echeck (they tricked me into paying with an echeck because it is almost impossible to get a refund) for a bike I was told was in stock. I never heard from them again. So over a week later I call back only to find out they didn't have the bike in stock but they had a cheaper bike they could send me soooo I said ok. I never heard from them again. Soooo around a week later I called back and was treated very rudely and was told that they didn't have that bike ether and the would not be getting any more of them in. I asked for a refund and was told it would take at least another month to send me a refund in the mail. By this time I had read how other people in this same boat had been waiting for over 6 months for a refund they never received. Bottom line it is not safe to buy from saferwholesale. With all this said I wish you luck with your order.

Wow, sounds like a nightmare. Thanks for the heads up...really hope that doesnt happen.:ohno:

[2LZ]

Odd. SPS is showing all three, the Shark, Brozz and Storm as either "in stock" or "available now".
I guess it would take a phone call to confirm.

They don't seem to be answering there phone right now?

Does this look like an Enforcer or "Hawk 2" to anyone? Again, "in stock".

Enforcer

[Merlin]

Enforcer
I will say it seams that if you call SP and they tell you they have the bike they will have it. That at least is something.

[MOTOXtreme]

They do not seem to update the website with correct stock levels at all. Pay no mind to the in stock status on the website.

I agree...it would seem rather strange that every other dealer has no stock, and this dealer has everything in stock...how could that be the case? :hmm:

Looks like that bashan enforcer

[JerryHawk250]

I would call before I would order. Might be a way to generate some income because they have nothing to sell. You pay for it then all of a sudden you get the email. "out of stock, will ship as soon as they come in" hen fight with them to get a refund.

[rvl8rida]

The Brozz is definetly out of stock. i tried to order one on monday and the order went through, and someone called me two hours later to tell me it wasnt in stock.

[XDoubleXA]

So just an update here. I called "saferwholesale" dude pretty much lied to me when he said it was in stock. Now they said itll arrive monday on shipment at their store, and they will sent it out as soon as it comes in. ugh..... I dont have time for that. lol... I'll call back monday, and see what the deal is.

[culcune]

They might be trying to pull one over you...they generally drop-ship as there is no point in receiving the bikes and then forwarding it on to you. But, before you dismiss this as one more attempt at lying, my friend Alan who has been selling the Brozz and Shark via drop-shipping (and who works for Excalibur Motorsports which is physically very near Kandi USA, the distributor for the Brozz and Shark) did mention the last few Sharks were bought by a dealer and were sitting at Kandi's warehouse. This was sometime last week. Perhaps, just maybe, Saferwholesale is the one who bought them and is having them really and truly shipped to them in Illinois. I didn't want to say anything about the fact that Kandi had Sharks in their warehouse that they were NOT letting Alan touch and would not tell him who they sold them to just in case it might have been someone here on Chinariders (you know who you are ;)) getting into the business, or simply some random dealer who physically deals in product. When you stated you had just ordered one, this got me interested to see if Safer was the dealer. However, it seems funny that they would bother to bring them to Illinois just to sell them rather than simply drop shipping them directly. But, this might just be the case, so, since there are no bikes anywhere (other than Magicians), if you have time to spend (and money not to spend elsewhere), wait a few days into next week. You will still get your refund, or as Merlin pointed out, the chance to buy another bike, and it will be a hassle anyway, but cross your fingers and hope that Safer is the one who bought them--but don't hold your breath for too long!

You didn't mention so I guess they got you with the cash discount.

That's their bate and switch tactic. They say they'll give you the brozz or storm for a great price and when you receive the invoice stating the status of your order you see hawk listed on the receipt, then you call them to have this corrected, they do so, a week goes by, you call them to see what the status is and you're told "sorry, but we ran out of the storm, or brozz... how about a hawk? ... And we'll give it to you for the same price!!" Like they're doing you a favor! Wtf?!

That was my experience with them, anyway.

The bike on the PSM site is what some call the hawk2 or enforcer.
I love the disclaimer in red stating that the do not sell to New Jersey or Pennsylvania. A few months ago the sold those bikes to anyone with a pulse and lied through their teeth about being able to register them anywhere.

Hmmm ... wonder why that's there now?:hmm:

[BigWeld]

And yet, people still take chances with them. I'm SO disgusted by the tactics of these retailers. I can't speak highly enough about Alan Tang and Excalibur.

[dpl096]

I don't care what it is they are selling...bikes, ATVs, scooters ...... you have 2 "dealers" and one them will be a degenerate douche scam artist. That's why this place and the dealer thread is vital to safer ordering.....

[XDoubleXA]

So I called SWS today, they said the shipment of sharks, and whatever else came in yesturday. I'm "suppose" to get a tracking number for my order by the end of the week. We shall see. Anyone have any advice on a good cheap helmet?

Thanks guys, that one helmet is insane. I got my Tracking number from SWS today so It should be arriving friday. What oil are you guys using?

[Kipper1012]

Im using Valvoline 10-40 for wet clutches.

[2LZ]

Rotella 15W-40.....or any diesel 15W-40. Even the Walmart "Supertech" works fine.

Oil is like beer. Drink what you like.
