Default Vintage 150

I've had my Lance Vintage for several months now and have put on about 700 miles. I purchased it from Family Motorsports on Ebay. It arrived in perfect condition. I installed the handlebars, fueled it up, checked the tire pressures, did a visual inspection of the entire bike and then fired it up. It cranked pretty easy for the first crank. I changed the oil and rear gear oil at 300 miles as explained in the owners manual. I have had zero problems with the scooter to this point. I'm a big guy (250) and it does an easy 45-50. It will do 55-57 maxed out but what's the point? I have averaged 82 mpg in almost 700 miles of riding.

I would say I am satisfied. Sorry to see so many on here who's luck hasn't been as good as mine.

Oh, and as far as the trunk goes, I thought it looked really cheesey to have the trunk behind the sissy bar, plus mounting it that way made only about half the trunk sitting on the rack, not good. I sawed the sissy bar off, touched up the bare metal, and that made room to mount the trunk farther forward. Looks much better.

I use the scooter to go back and forth to work and for grocery runs.

So far so good.

Good luck to all.
