What happens if the dealer goes under or more likely after a couple of years when customers start bringing carts back to him for repairs he finds he can't get parts either. So he discontinues the ICON line and starts to carry another China cart branded something else. Where do the ICON owners go? Any independent shops in your area? Ask them if they would repair it/can they get parts.
We have a local ICON dealer here. He carried Cit-e-Car before but quit them. Wonder what the Cit-e-Car owners are doing? My 2 cents.
You make great points and they are all valid. These same concerns are why I haven't bought one yet. Hoping an Icon owner or dealer will chime in on their experiences with quality and getting parts.
