Clank, the marks on your scoot looks to me like some 'big wheel' high truck backed over it, turned the wheels and drove away. Is the plastic still all there? If it is it should be a fairly easy fix.
Nice work on the weight mods and the clutch.
I need to get a new scale. My last renter stole anything that he didn't think I needed. I have lots of tubing, round-stock, lead tape, and brass shim-stock I can used to adjust weights.

All the plastic is there and intact. |

You never know with FrankenMech. He perceives the world in a unique way. That's why I enjoy reading his posts, he's very clever.

Not likely to be a wheel, more like a scrape from a bumper. It goes right to the edge of the broken plastic.
I be daft tho...
My scoot has been almost hit in parking lots several times. People just see the 'gap' between vehicles and pull in. I think I need a tall mast with a rotating beacon on the top I can leave ON to run down the battery. I think the rotating ones draw more attention than strobes because of the beam of light reflecting off everything around when it rotates. Even if I park out in an empty section there will be vehicles parked to both sides when I get back.

No, I was actually parked behind the bike rack up against the wall. Some asshole just walked by and punched it. Probably because he had to walk three more feet to go around my scooter. What am saying the people in this area are fucking bat shit crazy. I've never lived anywhere where ppl just don't have any common sense. Idk if it's the altitude or something in the water but per capita this place has the dumbest mf's I've ever seen. I can't wait to get enough cash together to get the frag out of this hell hole.

Its Funny Clank when I lived on the edge of a small town you never really got to see a lot of crazies. Now I live in a city every week you see crazy in one form or another! These people always stand out, and being a city lots more of them to notice  |

You want dumb ass people come spend a day up here with me. I pick up my girls from school every afternoon its about 150-200 yards from my house to the school so we walk but a few parents in the area will DRIVE 100 feet to pick up their child in a mini van on a clean warm day.
Then when it snows as it does this time of year 1/4 of an inch 1cm of snow it'll cause utter chaos on the roads like its never snowed and drivers have never driven in it before(I know for a fact some haven't) even those few in the area that grew up in Canada with snow all their life.

You should come watch traffic in Atlanta when it snows. Talk about utter chaos....
These idiots send the snow plow drivers home (both of them) when the NWS tells so we are going to get snow and then they can't get the their trucks when the snow arrives!
It is government at it's absolute finest.

This has a flaw I've found after some use.   It's hard to tell in the photos but the clutch engaging actually twisted or buckled the clutch housing. So back to the drawing board. I'll have my review on the three prong spark plug soon. |

So I put quite a few miles on it and the 47mm jug. No problems. Came across a 52mm complete and have a few extra motors so I took one of the better ones and built the 52mm on it.
Still tuning on it. I'm hoping it's got more •°•.s than what I'm getting. As of now my 47 was a little quicker imo and gps verified.
But I'm finding that it's not even close to the same CVT setup so spare time killer I've got. Spare time mmmmmmm not so much.

Well for suspended from work today for being late yesterday so I was gonna try and drop this A9 can in but it decided to snow again last night. But this is Nevada so it could be clear and 50 in a hour or two. Keeping my fingers crossed.
