Frustrated customers feel cheated, burn their Chinese bikes
Rajkot, 26 August, 2010






Sounds unbelievable, but owners of Chinese made – India assembled Vibgyor bikes, are burning their bikes to protest against its poor quality and alleged fraud.

While one bike was set on fire recently, the other was set on fire today by its owner after lots of complains unheard by the company, and the bike dealer according to him.

The Vibgyor bike owners of Rajkot have also formed a union to protest against the poor quality, unfulfilled promises and alleged fraud. They have also filed complaint in consumer court.

The bike owners say, they bought bike worth Rs 35000 but, it was faulty from day one, and the dealer could never repair it. The parts are not available, the average that was promised couldn’t be achieved. The bikes are suitable to be burnt, rather than pumping money on repair.

Mahesh Kanzaria who burnt his bike publicly said, while purchasing the bike, was told that the bike would give average of 117 kms per liter. But effectively Maheshbhai achieved average of only 40.

Another bike owner Kalu Pachiya of Wankaner faced multiple problems in bike and had garlanded it with old shoes. He too had burnt his bike in front of showroom.
