Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Eton America is recalling certain Beamer I, Beamer II, Beamer III, and Matrix motorcycles from model years 1999-2010 (50cc and 150cc models). The problem involves reversed handlebar switches: the engine on/off switch is located on the left handlebar when it should be on the right, and the high/low beam light switch is on the right when it should be on the left. This reversal can confuse riders and cause the scooter to lose power during operation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will repair the affected scooters by reversing the function switch locations at no cost to owners. Owner notifications are expected to be issued shortly. According to the recall notice, affected consumers should contact Eton at 1-866-224-3318 to arrange for the repair.
