It doesn't take much impact to bend these frames. Step daughter took one of our new scoots..less than 10 miles on it when she went to visit a friend. Told her "NOBODY but you rides it" So she let the friend ride...who got scared..nailed the throttle and hit a tree head on at about 15-20. Forks and frame bent so bad they could not be fixed. So now it sits here as a 'parts bike'...it doesn't take much impact...so check it over well...
