CFMOTO 150SC

Whilst I was very skeptical on purchasing a brand I knew nothing of, however do your research and CF Moto are headed in the right direction. There tonnes of videos on YouTube of many happy customers. I Purchased from Scooterino@Homebush West as wanted an alternative to something with no comfort, higher fuel economy and kept the breeze off my legs. As I scoot around in moderate comfort and thing seems run on the smell of an oil rag doing some food deliveries, finding other machines were punishing especially in colder weather. It doesn't wobble all over the place when a gust of wind hits you riding over a bridge. 150cc is more than adequate for stop start city traffic. Just watch your right hand action it will creep over 80kmh with ease. This is a brand not to ignore. It certainly offers a lot of kit for the coin. Name another scooter at this price point with GPS tracking, Vibration alarm Navigation and media control. It will alert you if someone tries to move and exit the geofence you have setup. Keyless start plus lots of storage under the seat.

I purchased a brand new CF MOTO 150SC scooter on 4 February 2026 from a dealership in Sydney, NSW Australia. Since purchasing the bike there have been two major faults in five weeks, and neither the dealer and CF MOTO are accepting responsibility to provide a refund or replacement vehicle.

On Friday 6 February 2026, the scooter suffered a complete breakdown. This was only two days after taking ownership and having travelled only 57km since purchase. The scooter lost all acceleration while I was riding along a key arterial road, and came to a complete stop in traffic during peak hour. I was left stranded and forced to walk my scooter off the main road.

I left the scooter with the dealership on Monday 9 February. The scooter remained with the dealership until Wednesday 25 February. I was advised that the front wheel speed sensor and spark plug had to be replaced. I was assured that the vehicle was now fit for purpose, operating properly and was safe to ride.

On Friday 13 March, the scooter throttle functioning became erratic while riding along a key arterial road, causing the acceleration to become stuttered, jumpy and erratic. The vehicle became difficult to maneuver as I was unable to achieve smooth acceleration. I had to negotiate several main roads, roundabouts and turns which were very tricky given acceleration issues. I feared for my personal safety and barely made it home. At this stage the mileage on the vehicle was only 265km.

On Saturday 14 March the scooter was returned to the dealership.

The dealership has advised me to contact CF MOTO directly for assistance. I have contacted them and they have advised me they are a wholesaler only and do not provide consumer assistance, and have referred me back to the dealership.

I am writing this review to recommend consumers think twice before purchasing a CF MOTO 150SC scooter. I bought this as a learner bike, but it has proven to be unsafe and not fit for use.

I am following up with Department of Fair Trading NSW and possibly the tribunal to seek a refund for this vehicle.
