The center stand has a persistent issue where over time it gets loose and bounces around when I hit bumps. It needs periodic adjusting.

The trunk lock had to be bored out early on. Locksmiths generally cannot handle scooter trunk locks, and I had dropped my keys inside before it closed. I’ve never replaced this part, though I may in the future. I don’t keep anything worth stealing in the trunk.

As a 49cc machine, the acceleration is woefully slow and going uphill is slow as well. Carrying a passenger is prohibited in bold text all over the manual, with good reason. Heavy loads make it behave even more sluggishly. The owner’s manual says that rider and cargo should not total more than 180 pounds, although the service manual gives a much higher figure, 360 pounds if I recall correctly. If I’ve been grocery shopping and have both the trunk and the big rucksack full of canned goods, I can really feel it.

That said, she doesn’t give up. I rode her up to Suncrest, a ridgetop community that’s pretty high up with some really steep access roads. She chugged up faithfully and steadily without so much as a sputter. Just really slowly. If I could figure out a treat to give her, I would have.

I haven’t done any recent mileage calculations, and I’m preparing the data I’ve logged to upload to fuel.ly but the range tends to be between 88 and 100 mpg. It’s a lot of data; every drop of gas since I’ve had her is logged. There are some entries that were destroyed by leaking milk two weeks ago, which annoys me a lot, but what can you do?
