Sportique Scooters

Sportique took my scooter in the spring of 2007. It turned out that the engine had been blown and that we needed a replacement engine. They found a replacement and it took 5 months to put it in the scooter. When we got the Scooter back, it was scratched, missing its rear basket, and the battery was dead. The people at Sportique denied any responsibility for the scooter's condition and were out of a battery and baskets. When the battery finally arrived, we had to convince them that, in fact, they had drained the battery and that we deserved a new one. They had "tossed" the rear basket and kept talking about the time frame that it took for us to get back to them. All in all, they ruined the scooter, took no responsibility, and kept it all summer last year. They never returned phone calls or e-mails and made us feel like we were in some way responsible. Horrible, and I will never go back! Pros: Good selection of scooters Cons: Horrible customer service, rude employees, lack of communication whatsoever more

Came to Sportique after visiting bigger shops like Fay Myers and Erico. I must say it was a huge relief to discover a place where they still ""get it"". They were super helpful and knowledgeable. You can't fake the experience these guys have. They sell nothing but scooters and it shows. I bought the Vespa LX150 and I love it. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. 4 Colorado Stores - Highlands, Englewood, Colo Spngs and Boulder. Pros: awesome staff, great selection, super friendly approach more

I bought a Bajaj Chetak from Colin and he gave me a good price. I didn't even have to haggle and the buying experience was great. The Chetak is an awesome scooter. After a few weeks I took it in for brake work, they had it fixed perfectly by noon the following day under warranty. And they threw in a free cable adjustment. The new Englewood location is great, they have lots of room and a fine shop. more

I've been a customer since day 1; I even ate a piece of the grand opening cake. Sportique Scooters has never done me wrong - I've owned three vintage Vespas and a Lambretta - I've never been disappointed or cheated. Likewise, I've never had a problem with their straight-forward attitude. As a customer I've bought everything from a helmet to a rebuilt engine, and I've had all types of service work done. Colin, Dan, Adam and crew know more about scooters, both vintage and new, than anyone probably should. Sportique revived Denver's vintage scooter ""scene"" as well as helped to make new ""twist-and-go"" scooters popular around Denver. Simply put, without Sportique, Denver's scooterists would be screwed. Pros: Vintage Vespas, parts, and service done by local pros. Cons: No free ice cream. more

I purchased my 1st scooter a used 50cc Kymco from Sportique in April 2007, Adam & Val were my Sales Specialist at the Pecos St. location. Adam had me ride more than several different types of scooters before i made my choice to buy from them the following day, low pressure with lots of info on questions i had. I really enjoyed my 50cc all summer long, Colin scheduled some work to be done on my scooter during that time that I also had great results from.... Then on September 1st they opened their S. Broadway location, I went to the Grand Opening and ended up test riding some New Scooters that Adam once again set me up on... to my delight I fell in love with the new Genuine Buddy 125cc Series Italia and traded in my 50cc Kymco... I appreciate all of Adams Help and knowledge, and Colin has been on top of things whenever i have questions that need answered and appointments for service... Both Locations Rock!!!!! Thanks Guys & Gals!!!! Pros: New Location On South Broadway Is Awesome..... Cons: Now I Dont See The Group At The Pecos St. Location As Often..... more

It must be nice to be so entrenched in your subculture that you can afford to be rude to everyone else. Or at least to me. Paid full asking price for a used bike and have been treated like sh*t ever since. The website says to beware of buying a used bike anywhere else. When I called with a problem just a few days after getting the bike home I was asked what did I expect, it was a used bike! I know one girl who rented a truck and drove to Utah to buy a scooter after shopping at Sportique and feeling so insulted by the treatment she received. My industry went thorough a period like this in the mid-nineties and we had to figure out how to welcome people to our sport without selling out. The growing pains are tough, but in the end it's so great to see someone new enjoying your sport it is all worth it. And the growth can provide new opportunities. Scooters are a perfect answer for the need to reduce gas consumption and a host of other social problems. Too bad these guys are the ambassadors. Pros: Passionate about scooters Cons: Seem to dislike eveything else! more

My goal was to purchase a scooter under 2500.00 so after checking out Vespa, I ended up at Spotique. The Spotique sales woman really pushed their serivce emphasizing they would provide quick response and turn-around time. Well that would depend on her definition of "Quick". As soon as I got the scooter a few miles from the dealership I had a disaster! The keys were jammed and I couldn't leave the bike, and couldn't start it. So I called them and they told me it would be at least TWO WEEKS before they could get out to check on the problem. Keep in mind this is the same afternoon I bought the unit!!! Fast forward three weeks and none of the gages are working. Gas indicator, odometer, speedomter are all dead. Additionally the casing around the gages vibrate so bad the noise is almost louder than the engine. Also I'd like to mention something they don't tell you at the dealership. There is a breaking in period that is described in the manual. You can't exceed certain speeds for a certain number of miles. You must know this before you speed off the lot because you can cause damage! THE SALESMAN SHOULD TELL YOU THIS. I would not recommend purchasing a scooter from Sportique. It's a bummer their are still people out there that just don't stand behind their products. We consumers must do what we can to warm others. Good luck with your purchase! more
