Passion for the products the represent and sell, as well as unsurpassed knowledge of the products they offer and complete focus on customer satisfaction and service is what my wife and I experienced with the entire staff at Cleveland Moto (Renae, James and of course Phil). From our first phone conversation through the ordering process and finally loading our truck with two brand new Vespas. They not only have the answers to each and every question we had, but provided detailed explanations to support their answers. Living outside of Pittsburgh, PA and traveling 3 hours was well worth the trip and will be well worth it for out future bike servicing needs for the bikes as well as future needs/wants. I highly recommend Cleveland Moto and their staff, and I don’t give that recommendation lightly. See you in the spring for our 6,000 mile servicing.
Watching their channel on Youtube for the past year Ive finally decided to buy the Zero Sr/F. And I couldnt be happier. The knowledge and customer service here are fantastic and they delivered the bike to my door. Their Mom n Pop shop attitude leads to personal accountability and a great experience.
I cannot recommend Cle Moto enough, specifically James Robertson. My friend and I accidentally locked the keys of her Vespa in her seat. After hours and countless phone calls with police, fire, locksmiths, towing companies etc, we called Cle Moto and talked to James. He was kind enough to record and send us a how-to video on how to open the seat by taking the front panel off and going through the glove box. After a full day of dead ends, James literally saved the day. Thank you James!
I bought a scooter to ride over the summer so my husband wanted to get one as well. In April we went to Cleveland Motors and spoke w/ Phil Waters. He had the new orange Vespa 300. My husband would have bought the one on the floor but, he said he wasnt allowed to sell on the floor because they were for display. So after explaining he needed a date in June when it would come in or else he wants his 500.00 deposit back he said he would be able to do that. Well we never got a date so we got something else. Called him back wanting our 500 deposit and was then told he could give him the store display because he didnt want to lose a sale but, it was too late at that point. This man is nothing but a robber and liar!!!! Horrible customer service!!! Ive been in customer service all my life and I would never treat my customer like that . He obviously cares more about money then the people that make his business.
I purchased a 2021 Vespa GTS 300 last month and it was a great experience. Phil is very knowledgeable and made the decision to buy an easy one. Renae did a great job getting the paperwork done quickly and efficiently.
All I can say is Phil and staff are Exceptional and dedicated to providing customers with the absolute best buying experience possible. From the first conversation on the telephone to delivery of my Zero SR/F Premium, I could not ask for more. They are a reminder of what integrity and decency can do in the current market where internet is destroying the family owned businesses. I will never buy a bike from anyone else as long as they stay in business. They are that good. These folks earn your hard earned coin and deserve absolutely every success for their effort. Communication is second to none. I think Phil does the Zero company stalwart marketing... he is a Zero Expert... thanks guys for my bike and for putting a smile on my face with that Electric torque... warp speed... I unreservedly recommend ClevelandMoto for all your Motorcyle needs... Cheers
I called with a question on a scooter in my possession and Phil took his time and helped me find the answer even when there was no benefit to him! I appreciate your kindness and thoroughness helping me figure this out!!
In the past year I purchased a new Vespa from Cleveland Moto and recently went in for service on my other scooter. New scooter purchase was great. Phil covered all the bases with my new purchase and I left happy and with confidence. During my recent service on my other scooter I needed new tires and a USB port installed for an upcoming scooter rally. James was able to schedule me quickly and provided top notch service. Traveling hundreds of miles, listening to my music and riding on new tires made this great trip even better. Cleveland Moto is the best. I will be a life long customer.
This is an amazing shop, and it’s obvious that they are expert in the business - especially anything vintage. They took a lot of time answering all of my questions. Highly recommended.
I wanted to thank Renae, James, Phil and all the other staff at Moto who made buying my first Vespa as easy as it could be. It can be intimidating spending money on an unfamiliar machine but they took the time to answer all the questions I had. Thanks for being understanding and patient. I hope in the future we all get to ride together!
Currently looking at Vespas and havent bought a bike from Cleveland Moto...YET. However, I know for a fact that Phil is a quality guy, passionate about bikes and entrenched in the CLE moto community after taking part in some previous years Distinguished Gentlemens rides.
Went in for a demo of the Zero motorcycle. Fantastic people. Super knowledgeable, and really down to earth. My first time meeting them felt like seeing old friends I havent seen in years.I didnt have service done on my own bike here, but they have my business when it comes around. Another great thing, they will work on bikes over 10 years old! And know them well! Hard to find that in the local shops.Also the Zero bikes are insanely fun. If you havent ridden one, just do it. Youll want one.
Cant recommend them enough. Phil basically took all the hassle out of buying a JDM car. They got it shipped to me quickly with plates and a title. If youre looking to get a weird little imported car like I did, this is definitely the place to go.
After watching videos on youtube and calling the shop I am glad I made the trip from Pittsburgh to buy a Zero. It was a chill vibe in the shop and they gave me a complete breakdown of the bike, answered all my questions and seemed happy to do it.
Nice place to buy a bike! Everone was cool and left me alone to browse around.
You wont find many shops this knowledgeable and passionate about vintage and modern motorcycles and scooters. Wanted to give a shout out to James for always shooting me straight and taking care of my parts and service issues; Renee for always being delightful.... and Phil...this guy knows everything when it comes to riding and servicing motorcycles. Theyve always given me great advice (peeing in the airbox) and great deals on service and parts. Independent MC shops like Cleveland Moto are rare. Hope you guys are around for years to come.
These guys are fabulous. They really know their stuff, which has saved me a ton of money and time. They are decent, honourable people who are good to do business with. I strongly recommend them.
Quality craftsmanship!
Great place! Staff is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about the bikes. There was absolutely no pressure leading up to the buying process, super laid back.
Great local business with personable service. Phil and James have been very helpful, attentive, patient and informative. Looking forward to doing business with them throughout my riding career. Highly recommend.
Its always a pleasure dealing with the employees at CleveMoto. Have always had great experiences. Cathy L. 🛵
Went in for guidance on a new scooter or motorcycle. Recieved abundant information and good assistance in deciding what is best for me. Very patient and answered every single question. Phil is fabulous and uber knowledgeable. When I decide which Vespa, Ill definitely buy it at Cleveland Moto.Update: got the Vespa from unkie Phil and its perfect. He showed me how to operate it and off I went. This is where to go for any 2 wheel need.
I had my 1200GT Norge in for oil leak repair. Great service!
The team is knowledgeable, fair, and honest. I highly recommend them as a business and resource.They have my enthusiastic recommendation!!
Could not get into dealership Saturday did not realize I had to make appointment because of corona but not Cleveland moto fault have been in there before great dealer ship I’ll call back to make appointment to get Vespa scooter
I just called to inquire about help around a service manual that I was having trouble finding. The response I received was I could not be less interested. I was also told that because I was not a customer, they did not have any skin in the game or interest in helping me. It is true that I was not a customer, but it is also true that now I never will be. They did helpfully request I google it. Let me be clear that the review is not based on whether they could help me, its based on the fact that they couldnt be bothered to even care.
This place rocks. So easy to deal with when trading in my old scooter for a new one.
Always friendly and helpful wide selection
An awesome experience! Phil and his staff are very knowledgeable. A one stop shop for a new bike, repair or riding gear :) If i could leave a 6 star review i would!
Fantastic Shop! World class electric motorcycles!
Really great passionate people here. Ive been having my scooters serviced here for years and zero complaints. Prices are always great and the work is spot on. The staff is super friendly and I love dropping into the shop.
Phil was awesome at Cleveland Moto!! Even delivered my Vespa on a Sunday!! Very knowledgeable, great price and all together great to work with!! Would absolutely recommend Phil and Cleveland Moto!! Thanks so much!!Sue & Jeff Vass
Let me tell you about Phil thats works there.No Harley shop would give me the time of day for infor on my 99 roadking.I talk to alot of them but Phil was on the phone a good 25 mins to help me with my Harley when no else would.Very knowledgeable abour bikes and the older Harleys.He is the guy to see about anything bike related.Thanks Phil I appreciate you taking the time with me and sharing your knowledge.Lifetime customer.!!!!
Fantastic shop. My S.O. and I take our bikes there every year for an oil change. The bikes come back with not only an oil change, but a new polish. My coworkers ask me if I got a new bike after the polish. It looked that great.Efficient, friendly service, that can sometimes be same-day!Cleveland Moto has a happy customer for life.
I dropped off a set of carburetors off of a Suzuki I bought that had been sitting a while. They explained the risks of rebuilding carbs off of the bike and that it may need additional tuning etc. They stuck to their quote, kept me updated, and were very nice. Very happy with the service. Bike runs great! Thanks guys!
In February I bought my very first motorcycle from Cleveland Moto. The bike I chose is a used 2015 BMW R NineT. I live in Annapolis, MD which is about a 7 hour drive from Cleveland so I didn’t see the bike in person before purchasing it. I worked with James at Cleveland Moto who sent me close up photos and videos of the bike and answered all of my questions comprehensively and promptly.The bike was also advertised as the shop’s winter special, so it was $1000 off the original asking price. The bike was still slightly outside of my budget, so Phil knocked another $500 off the price, making it a really sweet deal for me. Since I didn’t have my motorcycle endorsement yet, riding the bike from Cleveland to Annapolis was out of the question. Phil personally delivered the bike to me for a modest delivery fee, it arrived less than two weeks after I mailed the money to Cleveland Moto. I’d like to add that Phil was hoping to pickup a car he was importing in MD at the same time he was delivering g the bike, I really wanted my bike on a certain day and that day did not match up with Phil’s pickup date for the car - he happily delivered the bike to me on my preferred date anyway! I really appreciated that.When the bike arrived it was exactly as promised except it needed new rear brake pads, my local shop replaced them for just $75. No big deal.I now have my motorcycle license and have been loving riding my bike all over town. Thank you Cleveland Moto!
Best shop around. Not a single dolt in the place.
These guys are awesome just bought 2 scooters
Little pricey but a nice variety
Have yet to have a bad experience here. James and John do a hell of a job and are extremely helpful (even staying after they closed to answer questions). I also would like to thank James for lending me a bike to use for the weekend while an issue with their computer connection to update my newly purchased bike was being fixed. My wife has purchased 2 scooters from here and this is my first bike and I can say that we will be returning.
Phil and his team are an excellent group! Absolutely top notch knowledge and integrity!
James, Phil and the staff are the best. Knowledgeable, honest, and the only place I trust with my motorcycle.
Great service, very free with helpful information, the podcast rocks. Everyone Ive dealt with there had been approachable and quick to help.
Just noticed the Mentor store has closed. I can understand why. Pretty much ripped me off. Took my Suzuki in last year because it would not start. They had it for three weeks and the new they called me and said it would cost thousands to repair and he would not do it even if it was winter. Told me that he would help me salvage it if I wanted. I got it home, went to the Suzuki forums, bought a G-Man battery for $150 and now it runs perfect. They pretty much stole $250 from me in my opinion. They talk a good good game but can’t back it up with service or skill.
Just brought home my 2019 Zero DSR last night. Made some adjustments for my size, added a RAM phone mount and a GIVI storage box on the back and took my wife out to dinner on it. I am so glad Phil called and made me an offer I just couldnt refuse on this bike. Best way to explain it is to just go ride one. Got me hooked two years ago and I know we are going to have a lot of fun on it.
Great people to work with. Now have my dream Lambretta and a wealth of knowledge to refer to. Great job guys!
Was going to look at a vehicle for sale but owner appears to be a real dolt himself as questions seem something he fails at! Avoid this place not impressed from my experience in the automotive industry. I left many messages, so not sure why the business would ask after I already bought elsewhere, they have no intention to improve.
Best options for scooters in the Cleveland area. Went to get information on a bike, ended up with a 1 hour lecture but from the owner. Very informative...yet longwinded.
The best place for scooters, staff is fantastic, they service what they sell and more.
Took bike in for appraisal after a wreck. They were very helpful and professional. I dealt with James, but everyone there seemed on top of things. Nice to have a scooter shop in the neighborhood. Would recommend.
One of my favorite bike shops in the country
Great people there at the Westpark location. Very understanding with giving options on work that needs to be done. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking for work to be done.
Love this place. Definitely a Cleveland treasure.
Purchased a Vespa. It was over promised and under delivered. Was told it was available and would ship in 3 days, we waited 3 weeks. We constantly had to reach out for updates and they would not return our calls. They did not once proactively keep us informed. We also purchased a different seat and never had any updates on that. We ended up cancelling it a month and a half later. Then, we received the title (2 days after our tags expired) in the mail with the incorrect model number. So we call and they blamed the title bureau. IMO it shouldve been verified by the place we purchased it at. Now we get to drive to a title bureau and purchase a new title. Not one part of this process went smoothly. Im to have my Vespa and to be done with this place.
Ive been in here twice now, and both times the workers were very rude and I was treated poorly. The fist time I went in I was looking for my first bike, the heavy set older guy was very rude and made me feel stupid cause I didnt know what kind of bike I wanted. The second time I went in was today and the tall guy with a beer gut laughed in my face about my current motorcycle, then ignored me while I asked questions about the showroom bikes.TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO TRIUMPH CLEVELAND. THEYVE NEVER TREATED ME BAD AND MY FRIENDS ALSO HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES THERE
Awesome place for all your scooter and motorcycle needs.
I am new to riding and the owner Phil was everything I could have hoped for in terms of helping decide what right for me I recieved all the information I wanted and more and the atmosphere of this place is one that cant be beat you walk in and you instantly know that they care about you, their bikes, and their business I bought my first bike from them today and I so happy that I did it with Cleveland moto and that I did it from Phil and his team
The owner did a great job in his explanation of things....above and beyond.
Tried to do business with these guys a few times because they are local. I went in the shop twice tried to get some information on a purchase. Called them on the phone tried to get some information on service on another scooter. Not helpful at All. Would not recommend them.
I must have caught them on a bad day but the guy’s condescending attitude actually cost him a sale. Customer service is not this business’ forte!!
If youre serious about getting a great scooter or bike that has meaning, heritage, or both, go to Cleveland Moto. Dont look elsewhere; just Goto Moto. Seriously, these guys are the real deal in two wheels.
Rip-off!!! $97 to put rubber on a set of rims! I took my tires off the bike... took the old rubber off the rims and asked them to just mount the new rubber... not even balance them... and they held my tires until I paid $97.20. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!!! So much for keeping my business local!
Awesome place ! Interesting bikes and scooters. Really friendly people.
Great place good people always send ppl there for gear
Theyve done an excellent job of supporting our club, very generous and loyal.
Always helpful even in these difficult times.
Fast, friendly service. The team at Moto is always going above and beyond.
James was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about all of the bikes and other products.
Fantastic Service - I own 4 motorcycles A Triumph Speed Triple, a Ducati Supersport, A BMW R1200GS and a Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200. I chose to have Cleveland Moto do all of my Service. Just last week they saved me over $600 on a valve adjustment on my Ducati. Ive been riding for over 30 years and have lived in 3 different countries. Moto is the closest youll get to a proper motorcycle shop. Now how about a coffee lounge?
Shop guys know what theyre talking about here when it comes to scooters and small engines they worked on my small Suzuki GS500 brakes chain and Lube all under 200 bucks. These guys are great
They look so good I love them I dream of having one someday God willing.
Great staff, in stock accessories. Clear prices.
Great place, the people are knowledgeable and really friendly !
Bought a 2001 Kawasaki Concours from him that developed a bevel gear gasket leak around 6 months after sale and he told me to wait a month to service it. So i let a month pass, and he REFUSES to service it. Even something as recent as half a year he completely snubs you on any and all service.Anything he sells will require loads of service too, since all he sells is disposable bikes like moto guzzi junk that falls apart after 5K miles and kymco garbage that blows a transmission after 10K miles. none of this Phil will service, despite him telling you that he will. Phil is a liar and has hidden tons of negative reviews.Liar Phil also does shoddy work, as X-rated cycles in eastlake tells me that he cleans up after his awful repairs that he DOES actually get to on the regular. I had tires put on by him on my 1994 Suzuki Katana backwards! So maybe its a good thing that he refused to work on my bike(that I fixed myself)Never do Business with Liar Phil, Search for Liar Phils negative reviews, I will repost this each time Liar Phil hides it. Liar Phil is a dishonest huckster and everyone needs to know the special way he conducts Business.
Many gorgeous motorcycles and scooters
Soo knowledgeable, I want one sooo bad!
Kindness comptence good price.
Bad Business Practice. I went 5/23/14 tested and drove a 2010 Kymco Xciting 500 Scooter. I liked it sales lady did paperwork for me to take to my credit union for loan approval comes to find out that upon me calling her again on 5/27/14 she told me that someone else put a deposit on the same scooter on 5/24/14. And she did not had the decency of calling me and notify me of the problem. Would not recommend.
Two stores - Great service at both. Ive graduated from a Vespa to a Moto Guzzi with their support and guidance. Ive never hesitated to refer them to friends. Phil and the gang really know their bikes. Tons of fun, they also do tech sessions for folks interested in working on their own machines.
Have known Phil from his original store on 25th..Hes a standupguy and well versed in his machines. He could not be moreknowledgable when discussing the Vespa. I should know.
Nice scooter spot good people and fair prices
Good. Found what we were looking for.
Best place to purchase Moto gear and more!
Thanks for the free battery I remember your price was $180 and you can get one online for around $40. I think Phil should be in the ballooning business where they take people up for rides. that is because he is full of hot air. By the way, that battery is still working great! I think it is three years old. About the same age that Phil acts like. Look on you tube for videos on how to fix your own instead of getting robbed.To bad they are the only place to get a Moto Guzzi fixed or parts. Fixed it myself. Works perfect, just like factory original! HEY... I thought knew what they were doing. If you need a tire changed do not pay $300, take it off the bike yourself, go to Tire Depot in Willoughby. They will put the new one on the rim for $30. I bought the tire off the internet. Tire depot did a perfect job. It was a front tire, had the bike up past 100 no wobbbles!!! It was a Michelin.
Any time i have issues with my 73cb500 i give james a call down there and he always has been helpful. thanks for all the help guys
Knowledgeable about Kymco scooters.
So, you know how you have a great weather day, the chores are done, nothing in front of you but miles of glorious riding, and then you do something SO stupid its like scratching the side of your Veyron with a key? Yeah, I dont have one of those either but a boy can dream.I screwed up good but the day was saved because of a very generous fellow motorcyclist at Cleveland Moto in Lakewood by the name of James, or as I refer to him, my new BFF.Went to Breadsmith for breakfast and managed to not only leave my key in the ignition but left the lights on. Sometimes Im not a smart man. Soooo, I get outside and the combination of hottest day of the year with an already stressed battery and there was absolutely no joy when trying to start her up. What to do, what to do. As 1) I was 15 miles from home and 2) didnt want to hear about it for a couple of weeks from my considerably better half, I decided to walk to Cleveland Moto and beg their help.I offered to pay whatever my sins would cost me. A man named James immediately said, No problem... and got some tools and a spare battery together and met me back at my bike.Within a few minutes Snagglepuss (you got a problem with that??) roared to life and once again all was well in my world. I offered James every bit of the cash I had in my pocket but he firmly refused it. I could not express to him and cannot to you, reader, how very grateful I was for his generous and swift assistance. James said, Just pay it forward... and I promised I would.Thank you, James, for your kindness, time, and expertise. And, thank you, Cleveland Moto for hiring such a cool guy.So, imagine, if THIS is how they treat you when you DONT spend money there, how do they treat you when you do? I have to believe pretty damn great.
My Vespa LXV150 was stalling and not running well. I tried a local dealer for service and he kept it for a month and said he did the the work under Vespas warranty. It was not fixed and the warranty had expired.A friend told me he was taking his scooter to Pride of Cleveland in Lakewood and could transport mine also. They were great to deal with and kept me aware of what they found and asked me for approval of repairs before proceeding.When I got the bike back after Thanksgiving and eventually rode it there was still a problem. I called and they said not to worry they would come to Canton and pick up the scooter and trouble shoot it. They found an intermittent fuel pump problem (hard to detect) and replaced it and straightened up some fuel lines replaced by the other dealer. Phil, the owner returned my scooter and said there were no additional charges, he just wanted to see me satisfied and confident to ride my Vespa.Renae and James were great to work with at POC and I will not hesitate to recommend them and service my scooter there.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great shop
Was looking online at vehicle refused to answer questions and acted like above answering questions about a Toyota
They know there stuff!!
Awesome electric bikes!
Great people
Excellent place!
Very poor service
