Life with the Chinese scoot is turning out as predicted, a few problems here and there but mostly its a nice piece of work. More care could have been taken to put washers on bolts, use better bolts etc but given I could have bought 4 of these scoots, tools and spare parts for the price of a 'brand' name scooter I am pretty happy with the situation.
The last few mornings the scoot has been reluctant to start, needing quite a few kicks to get it going. I hoped it was just the short trips to work coupled with no excess power to charge the battery. Longer trips to work (what a hardship!) didn't help too much. Off to Ace and one battery tender and charge later it is back to starting first time using the electronic start.
I have also ordered replacement bulbs, taking the opportunity to switch all but the headlights to LED's to improve my visibility, my range of vision and maybe save an amp or two.
