sadly there isnt a scooter shop near me, which is a shame because there are many scooter riders in my area. the bike seems to be running well and maybe i am just reacting because it is new and not really broken in yet but i remember my old bike being much faster (a co-worker clocked me doing 52mph on a slight downhill). i dont need to go 50+mph but i would like to have a decent take-off from lights and not lose major speed up hills.

Well, there are tons of great scoot mechanics right here that can talk you through a roller/slider change if you decide to do the work yourself!

Impact wrench and a decent little metric wrench set is about all you need to do it.
