I would contact the importer, it sounds like you could have a stuffed battery pack with that little range, especially as the power is falling off. Lipo packs don't do that.

I went and picked this up the other day, to get in on my very own HOT FRUNK ACTION 🤣 I went for the DCT model in the end, hopefully this will be a good replacement for the nobber as a work bike

I've had an amusing offer from HD to renew the warranty on Quinn for another year, at the bargain price of £451...

Considering they don't service it & refused the warranty claim for rust I put in at two weeks old, why do they think I'd bother?

Aftermarket seat? Can't be worse than the standard one. Mine was dreadfully uncomfortable, but after my mods, it's good.

2cm thick gel pad laid on the seat, with a sheepskin over the top. Usually I have just a sheepskin on my seats, but the NC needed the gel too.

Really confident with the vespa now. Caught the side stand leaning on a left hander yesterday and nearly shit myself. Did it again today. Am I pushing too far?
Doesn't feel like I am.

You are probably leaning a bit much as the stand will lift the rear wheel off the ground eventually and you'll crash, especially if you hit a bump, best to hang off a bit but you'll look like a cunt hanging off on a scooter, I rode my daughters home from the shop in my race leathers and got my knee down a few times, on a pastel blue girly scooter 😀

Needs a wash and brake pads both ends for the MOT that's due next month. I might do that tomorrow and MOT it Friday as I'm not working.
