Ey zane you said its wrong to judge a book by its cover, but you just did by only assuming that it was going to fail. Yeah maybe the shit will break, but its $100 and a beginner wouldnt snap it anyway. And even if they do that will give them more knowledge so when they buy their next scooter, they will know whats better for their riding standards. Not trying to argue with you, its just my oppinion.
