Battlescooter Corporation

Jason commented on my review with a libel notice so deleted it. Can’t write anything negative here.
This is the exact text (copied from the owner’s comment :) .
«This is for you „John“. Libel: 1a. defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures. Unilocal this is for you: 1b. the act or crime of publishing it. The second definition also fits you „John“. Libel: 2. anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents. I ask that customers don’t post comments defending the shop against this person. This is a legal matter and will be handled as such»

They no longer sell Strider bike :-(

Very unprofessional :(. Called them ahead and got hours and ‘we are helping other customer’. But after 25 min drive see a notice that they are closed today (and different work hours than phone says)

I rarely write reviews on Unilocal but this is one of those times where I will take some time out of my day to give the world my two cents.
I don’t trust anyone besides Jason around my Honda Ruckus (or any of my bikes really, for that matter.) And when it comes to mechanics, trust is IMMENSELY important and, especially for me, not easy to earn. I’ve been a loyal customer for a year and he does everything for me from oil changes, and transmission upgrades, to flywheel lightening and electrical work. He is also incredibly knowledgable about all things ruckus and is a valuable source of information tips and suggestions. He always thinks about the best for your scooter, not what will make him the most money. If you’re in the Bay Area and own or are interested in purchasing a Ruckus, definitely make sure you pop in for a visit.

Great place to test-​drive a Strider before you get one!
Balance bikes are easy to buy online, but if you want to try one out first you’re SOL. Target doesn’t carry any in-​store, and Toys R Us only carries one cheap model.
By coming here, the kids got to give a Strider a try and pick out the color they wanted, all for the same price as online (without shipping, of course). The guy was really helpful on top of it.

I’ve made various purchases at Battlescooter for the Honda Ruckuses that I owned, and was more than pleased with the recommendations given by Jason.
In addition, Jason was able to service my Honda Ruckus, and did a terrific job, and he exceeded my expectations.
Highly recommended if you have a motorized two wheeler!!!

Honest, friendly, knowledgable service! Only the best quality parts can be found here and the shipping is really fast! I ordered tires and they arrived the next day. I got my grips, variator, exhaust, tach, helmet, super rare jacket and everything else here for my SR50, elite, scarabeo and vino!

So I stopped in to look at a used motorcycle BS had advertised on Craigslist, it ended up being a total waste of time for me and I’ll leave it at that… Also, the clerk didn’t appreciate my previous and 100% honest Unilocal review, and then threatened/​cried legal action, so I removed it. Not scared at all, as I’ve done nothing wrong, but I’d rather he not attempt to waste even more of my time as that’s a job he actually seems pretty good at. He also apparently «doesn’t sell motorcycles». I guess that was only on the day I was there??? Bottom line, I really did not enjoy my experience at BS at all, and find it disturbing the owner would react in a threatening manner. Other people have given BS great reviews here, so maybe I just caught him on a bad day. Either way, I won’t be back.

This place is awesome! As a new Ruckus owner I was lost until I found this place. Jason has a wealth of knowledge and so willing to share. He went above and beyond to help revive my Ruckus. Recommend highly!

Took my 1987 riva for a auto choke problem. Told me how much it cost to diagnose it. After several days he finally got it done. Jason charged me the same price he told me in the beginning. Took several trial and error to fix the problem. Ended up rebuilding the carb and making adjustment. That to me especially the rebuilt cost a lot more than what he charged me yet he only charged me what he quoted for a diagnostic. Bottom line Jason from BattleScooter is a trustworthy honest person I can trust with my scooters. He will not up sale you anything. In fact he’ll tell you what you can do and show you how to adjust the things needed to make your bike run better. Another example a while back I brought an even older 1985 riva for work. Those that know Rivas parts are hard to come by. He was able to fix it and did some bidding on eBay for parts that was obsolete for it. He charged me for the cost of the parts and the minimal labor charge. I am pretty sure if it was a dealer they would charge me an arm and a leg for the same work Jason did. He will only charge you the very minimal. For that THANK YOU Jason for taking care of my scooter. I would recommend this place for any scooter needs you need.

The BattleScooter store has been my lifeline when it comes to my Honda Ruckus. Store owner Jason is upstanding and honest, and does business the right way. I have went in countless times and he is so patient with my ignorance. And he never tries to up sell me anything, in fact I’ve went in for a fancy part before and ended up leaving with free knowledge.
BattleScooter can take care of any and all of your two wheeled needs (scooter, motorcycle, Striders). I’ve had my Honda serviced by BattleScooter and they are very fair with their labor costs. Recently I snapped off my fork bolt from over torquing and tried for hours to extract it on my own. I eventually gave up because it was so frustrating and asked Jason to take care of it. He took care of it for me in a timely manner and didn’t charge me a arm and a leg.
I’ve been going to BattleScooter since September 2012 and I’ve had a really good experience. Everything they sell is quality and is backed up by a real person at a real shop.

I emailed BS about clutch springs installation for a 2011 Honda ruckus for a customer of ours. He told me it would be $ 20 compared to other shops that tried to charge us a minimum of 300.
Got there at 330pm and was quoted a hour to have it all done
1 hour later… it was complete!
Great business with great time frames and prices.
I put it on the ruckus and man… it feels great.
Since I was there to do a customers clutch springs… I went ahead and bought myself a Kevlar belt for my 2012 ruckus.
Thanks jason. !
PS…don’t walk around like I did… ull end up lost like me. I walked around looking for food and ended not finding anything around the area and spent the 1 hour quoted finding my way back lol

Stopped by today to pick up a Strider for my boy. Great selection, quality, price and service from Jason.
If you’re looking for a Strider or parts for your scooter, give Battlescooter a look and support a great local business in the process!

Exchanged a few emails with Jason, the owner, before going into the store. He was friendly, helpful, and responsive. We went because Battlescooter is the only authorized retail dealer for Strider pre bikes (balance bikes) in the South Bay. Jason carries all the colors and was really nice about letting my son try the bike out before we purchased one. He gave a slight discount to cover the tax, which put the price within a few bucks of the online price and I’m always happy to support a local business and have the convenience of trying/​buying at once and not waiting for shipping. I have no experience with the motorcycle side of things, but if you’re looking for a Strider, this is a great place to buy one.

Thanks for your help Jason!

I like places that keep it real, and that’s what Jason does. He has helped me out a lot on my ruck’. The shop is a bit small, but the advice and help are huge. Jason has spent time with me answering my questions about everything, and he’ll give me answers on what works and what doesn’t. There are few shops around that keep it honest, and I’m glad this one is local.

I ordered a single item for my scooter which was listed as in stock. Ordered online and received the bill within 2 days. But had not received any notion of a shipment made. I attempted to call numerous times but was never able to get through. So i emailed and all I could get was that my order was processing.
It took over a week to process my order for a single item and it seems that they only ship it after I bug them about where it is. I would have driven down to Sunnyvale had I known that Online ordering was such a hassle. Also the customer service seems like bare minimum. Long response times and seem to not do anything unless you bug them, which is very inconvenient.
All in all I had a very frustrating experience with this company. Would not recommend.

If it weren’t for BATTLESCOOTER my ruckus wouldn’t be what it is today and I wouldn’t be who I am today
don’t call, you won’t get ahold of Jason, go in person, he’s one of the nicest guys around, and INSANELY knowledgeable, he’s not soo into bling bikes but he’s got bling parts .
BATTLESCOOTER is THE source for Honda RUCKUS, Yamaha ZUMA 125 and old Honda Elites.

The owner of the shop, Jason, is an incredible individual. He’s not the typical shop owner who tries to upsell you on crap you don’t need. There have been many times when i’ve come into the shop saying i needed an expensive go fast part, but end up being talked out of it. Jason is one hell of a guy and, as long as you’re not a dick, he’ll provide plenty of knowledge for you to feed upon.
Highly recommended!

If you’re looking for attentive service for your Honda Ruckus or bike then Battlescooter is the place for you. Battlescooter is a good local scooter resource specializing in aftermarket items for Japanese scoots.
Battlescooter is a little out of the way in an industrial area, but worthy of a visit.
Jason, the shop owner is an active supporter of the Southbay scooter scene and regularly supports rallies and other events. Thumbs up for Battlescooter.
