Thanks guys. I did get the New Speed 50 on Thursday. In general I really like it. I had a couple problems but this was related to a couple mistakes I made when assembling the scooter. I omitted to install the axle spacer on the front axle. I am also getting some slight vibration from the steering column - I looked again at the assembly video and re-installed the steering column bolt - and this time installed the locking bolt at the far end of the bolt - which is pretty hard to get at unless you remove the front plastic. I barely had enough room to install the bolt - but did. Short story, if I had look at the assembly video more carefully I would not have had to install the front wheel and steering column bolt twice. It's fun. I got up to 35 mph bone stock. (Speedo read 40 - so in real speed is probably around 35.
