There is an EPA office nearby me in Ann Arbor, MI, I just called them and they never head of rabbit scooters or of any pocket bike or small scooter like that being submitted for testing. Essentially someone is lying to you and charging you more for a fake certificate. Unless they can send you a copy of the certificate and you post it on here I will go down and verify it with the EPA here and make sure the number is a valid one and that they did actually issue it.
If you read the EPA warning on scooters it says right in there
"A motorcycle emits as much hydrocarbon in 10 miles as a car driven 850 miles"
SOO, even though I feel that the government should butt out of this it is our environment and I would not want to go back to the smoggy cars of the 60s and 70s and see how our air is then. I feel that if the engines produce that much emmissions they should be regulated and anyone doing it outside those parameters ought to be fined especially when they are charging a premium for supposedly having theirs meet emmissions.

I bought my from rabbitscooters for $659 four months ago, now the EPA approved x-18 bikes have gone up in price to $739. They were out of stock for a while too, but they let you know it on their web site! |
