Great Bike - Great value

After exhaustive research into Chinese Scooters, reading the horror stories of breakdowns, unavailable parts and dealer ripoffs, we came across QLink. We checked on the company and found they actually have a facility here in the US as well as large inventories of parts. What impressed me even more... was you could call them and speak to a human being... who spoke english!

The company has set dealer requirements among which includes a local service department. This was also important to us since many fly by night scooter operators are out there selling junk and disapearing.

Try as we might, we could not find any blogs on the net complaining about Qlink or its products. So we checked out Power and Play Warehouse located in South florida's Palm Beach and Broward Counties. We were impressed by the machines. Not as beefy as their Japanese or Korean counterparts but at nearly 50 - 60% lower price we felt we had reached a value.

We have bought two of them. I was immediatly impressed by its stability and its cushy cadillac type ride. I was even more impressed by its power. After the initial 300 mile break in period, I had it serviced at Power and Play Warehouse in Pompano Beach (they did it while I waited in about 20 minutes) and immediatly took it on the highway.

I'm a big man, 235 pounds but you couldn't tell by how quickly the Commuter got up to highway speed even on an upgrade. I was impressed, it handled 70 MPH (115KM) without a problem and I feel it may have gone faster that that.

Handling at highway speeds was a little trickier than local speeds since the bike is not as heavy as a comparable motorcycle. Yet it's aerodynamic design provided a smooth and exhilerating ride.

My thanks to Hido, Robin and Jason at Power and Play Warehouse for their help, quick response and willingness to go above and beyond to make our experience a good one.

For the money, QLinks Commuter 250 can't be beat... but then a 25 plus year history of building motor bikes gives them the edge. I would give this bike 5 stars for performance, price and looks. Read Full Review

5 Months with Qlink Commuter 250

I purchased my 2008 Qlink used with 1350 miles. A gentleman in his mid-70's purchased it in January 2008 and felt that he should get a trike (and did). I purchased it on Labor Day weekend. I commute with it 25 miles round trip, and ride it 90% of the time. The other 10% I ride a Motofino 150.

It... comes with a 2 year warranty and Qlink, so far, has stood behind the product. When I was purchasing the scooter, the 1st owner said that the electronic instrument panel quit working and would be replaced by the dealer. After purchase, I transferred the warranty. In late October I had a turn signal problem - the rear tail light assembly had a defective socket. The entire back light assembly needed replaced - warranty kicked in again.
I am averaging slightly over 70 mpg. The comfort is superb; you would swear you were in a Lazy-Boy recliner and it floats along like a 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood. I now have about 3300 miles on the Qlink. These units also have outstanding storage space which is important for comuting or going to the grocery store.
At this point, I am pleased with my purchase and would hesitate in doing it again. Read Full Review

A Honda Helix at less than half the price.

This 250 will go about 72mph and has an extremely cushy lightly dampened ride. The storage space is cavernous. The wind protection is excellent. We have owned ours for over 2 years and had zero problems. The seat is large and comfortable. The exhaust note is just a small burble. The seat heigh...t is low and very inviting for the vertically challenged. Our complaints of the scooter are very few but include: The digital display is hard to read in bright sunlight, the brakes are a little weak and multiple keys are required for the ignition, tour pack and trunk. We ride the Commuter along side our Suzuki AN400 Burgman. Starting from a stop the Commuter is smoother and requires less throttle. The long wheelbase makes this scooter very stable. It feels solid and safe while motoring down the freeway. We would buy it again if we needed another scooter. Read Full Review
