Im looking for some advice, I had an accident on my scooter 5 weeks ago today which was caused when I the left hand grip came off in my hand as came down the kerb to join the road, I wasnt riding quickly or erratically but I lost control and ended up hitting the kerb on the other side of the road, it wasnt a high speed impact, infact it was almost humorous as to how slow the crash was, but my scooter was damaged and unridable. Obviously I examined the hand grip and there was no obvious way it was fixed to the handlebar, it wasnt glued, nor held on with screws and nothing had broken, it simply slid off in my hand.
I purchased the scooter new last summer, new from the Aprilia Centre in London, so I contacted them, and used the company that they recommended to have the scooter recovered at a cost of £140.00. I wrote to them asking that the scooter should be repaired at thier cost and that they should refund my out of pocket expenses.
I have continually chased them for the 5 weeks and not until yesterday did I get a response which was that I should take the issue up with my insurers, but I dont see why I should because the accident was caused by what is in effect mechanical failure, but also because I am only insured tpft so I doubt my insurers will actually entertain this idea.
I have contact my local trading standards, and sent to them 2 weeks ago copies of all my communications, but since they havent got back to me about what they are doing so I dont hold out any hope, certainly they havent contacted the Aprilia Centre.
I am a a loss as to what to how to proceed because I dont see that I should cover any of the cost, it isnt my fault, I am stll paying for te scooter and I am also pain for the underground so i am by now £350 out of pocket which is increasing weekly, and my scooter is still at the dealers, unfixed.
So if any one could offer any advice I would be happy to hear it.
Scooter fault not being resolved
