Dont ever order from CarbonSpeed they ripped me off $285 !! I ordered a battery off them 3 months ago & didnt receive it & now hearing across forums others have been ripped off also .. It must be some scammer who made up a site to make it look good to rip people off & get all the money they can to race & more

Why would u trust a site like that anyway dude?

Just go out to Repco or SuperCheapAuto and get a battery for $100-$150 or any motorcycle place

Maybe there is some problem sending batteries from US!!!

If you paid by credit card contact them and advise that you didn't get the goods.

Good luck

Contacted them a few times but they wont reply to emails anymore now that they have what they are after & thats the money .. Wanted to get a small lightweight battery thats only half the weight of a normal battery saves up to 2kg .. easier than buying hundreds of dollars on titanium bolts & stuff like that just to save a few grams instead i thought :? plus anyway im 62kg & not thinking of loosing any weight myself :lol:

Contact your bank and inform them of the rip off and they might refund your money... worth a try.

Pack of arseholes. I have a sister in San Diego, should get her to knock on their door and ask them wtf your battery is in a Aussie accent...

They're not stupid enough to publish an address or phone number though, bastards...

Yeah Paypal & its too late to dispute it all now :(

But i have been telling a few forums how CarbonSpeed have stuffed me around & emailed the links to CarbonSpeed a week ago to show them what i think 8)

Then today i finally get an email from them saying :shock:

Hey man I'm really sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I just got back into town this morning and I'm catching up on a MILLION emails. I ended up back east for a couple of weeks dealing with some family issues. Sorry, I know the wait has been long and communication sparse.

I have an 8-cell for you here, it's shipping today. I'll send you a copy of the shipping docs with the tracking number shortly.

Thanks and please accept my apologies.

Chip


Hmmm :roll: takes 3 months to go east hey :lol:

:kuda: Might be in luck soon i hope after i ordered & paid for it on the 1st of December 09 :twisted:
