Scooters Revenge...
I had made a wheelie bar for my gas scooter. I had made it a couple weeks ago and I only got better and better at it. But every time I pulled up on those handle bars, my fate got closer and closer. I was going down the driveway and I pulled up a little too hard and quickly came back down. As soon as the front tire hit the ground, the handle bars snapped. Because I put some weight on it, I flipped over the bars and instinctivly put out my left hand. When I got up, My hand was limp. When I got to the hospital, I had sucsesfully broke both of the two bones between the elbo and the wrist. But because the bones were still inline, I just needed to wear the temperary cast untill monday, when I get the real cast, I'm still thinking which color I should get. So, I just wanted to tell ya guys because it gets lonely siting with a bag of ice on your arm and watching t.v. I do know that it was my stupidity thinking that scooter could handle that treatment for long. But I will take a pic of my cast when I get it.

Well, I think I weakened it because that half a hole looking thing in the first pic was a hole I drilled in it so I could run the cable through the handle bars, I had to bypass the joint. But, the handle bars were pretty thin.

Well, how much you paid for yours? i bought mine $750 Stock from ebay and did mods to it. It does 43-45mph even more on a good day. and enuff torque to pull wheelies.
IT better, because i got what i paid for it, its US made, Zenoah Engine, crashed 3 times and nothing happened. Etc.[:-]

I paid 300 for mine, and I think It is worth every penny, But I do understand that you get what you paid for, you paid more than I did to gain more performace and make yours better than most scooters, including mine.

RE: Scooters Revenge...
Dr.ArmoMaxx your scotter is crap. My friend had one like that except it was blue. I bought mine for 500 and put a air filter kand n and that was it. I would pull on him going up a hill . I was passing cars at 35 mph going up the hill. He was 10 lbs heavier but my scotter was 15 lvs heavier. So if you want to go just let me know. oo yeah I can sit on mine and have 4 inches of travel front and rear your scotter zero and you fill every bump in the rode[:@]
