Follow up at mile 1500
Been 1500 miles so far for my Jax-150. No issues whatsoever, runs smooth and steady.
Shocks, brakes and overall stability is well above average for this monster.
Haven't taken it off-road, but handles gravel/sand/wet pavement not nearly as well as a dirt-bike, but much better than a standard scoot. Shorter riders beware though, if you're under 5' 7'' or so then this might feel a little high for you, both feet definitely won't fit flat on the ground.
One glitch I encountered right out-of-the-box was that the drain plug for both engine and gear oil wouldn't come loose. The following trick made quick work of that :
Run the engine until its really good and hot (and so is the drain plug.) Take some ice cubes in a towel, and hold it against the drain plug. Give it a few minutes, and the plug should turn loose easily. (The heat expands the hole, the ice shrinks the plug, relieving the pressure holding the plug locked in place.)
