Hello
I bought my first scooter today. And low and behold was cut off and took a gentle hit from car.
Bike slid on right and now is feeling like back tire rubbing. Looked under and nothing is broken just estectics on the side by the back tire from the drop.
Living in Mexico so I would like to fix myself if possible any idea on what it could be?

 That's a pretty lousy way to start your scootin' adventures. If there's a bright side, you've learned very quickly that people are crazy and bad drivers so you have to watch out for them and wear safety gear to protect yourself. If the tire is actually rubbing something, a close inspection of anything near the tire should show you what it is. You should see black marks or rubber where it shouldn't be or maybe see a part being worn down by the tire. The tire may also show signs of wear that help you find where it rubs. The shock, fender and exhaust are all usually pretty close to the tire.

Welcome to the forum.
That's terrible. I hope you get it sorted soon.

Being Mexico, I gather there is no help from the police or car driver. That is a terrible intro to scooting.

The important thing is you were not hurt?
The scooter can be fixed pretty cheaply, don't sweat it.

welcome to the forum
check the tire with it up on the stand and spin it and see if it spins true or if it looks like it moves side to side .
