Hate to say it, buy I wish I had a tank. Beats my rat scoot SE50. Almost wiped out on that thing again on a turn in the yard. I lost count of how many times I crashed that thing.

it will still run right now if i put the tire back on it. it would go another 1000 or so miles if i wanted to deal with riding that thing so far in the 2793 miles ive riden it ive had to reajust the valve rig a bar so the rear brake will work and replace the clutch.

oh * no i dont want it. i just know in the conditoin its in no one would buy it. so if for some reson the elite ever broke again i know while im waiting for parts i could ride that thing again. and it is staying cause if there is a power outage i hook my power inverter to it and its a generater.
