    Default Is Gavin still in Business?

    Like the title says: Is Gavin still in business? I found a website with lots of info about their four scooter models but no pricing. There is a 2013 date on the site so it looks to be still alive. I was looking at the scooters currently for sale here on the forum and got to wondering about support and such.

    IIRC, he purposely does not put the pricing online to save the EU buyers from import taxes, or something along those lines.

    Sounds ethical...

    About as ethical as our/the EU government's 3-9% import duty + 20% value-added-tax.

    George usually answers questions on his yahoo group "gavinscooters". Although the parts are all off the shelf and often easier to source locally. Also useful: http://www.dpvrepair.com/index.html

    I attempted 3 times to join that group and all 3 times was auto-rejected after 2 weeks for no reply. There were also 2 emails from me and one from a team member all unanswered over a month period.
    Curt at DPV repair was very responsive.
