A scooter can be potentially fatal if it is serviced incorrectly, I have seen people burn their scooters to the ground, wheels fall off while being ridden, and engines destroyed because of "guessing".
An internal combustion engine is inherently dangerous in of itself, but adding an electrical system, and the fact that a scooter is a BICYCLE in nature makes it's very motion unstable (you riding a bike creates ALL the stability) makes the scooter itself exponentially more dangerous.
Scooters are not toys! They are motorcycles. Do not "assume" you know how to fix something. Read up and ask questions! Do not make up advice or techniques if you are unsure of how something works. Disinformation is harmful to both the poster and the reader.

If you want to see what people think is alright but would scare YOU to ride , You should see what comes into a shop! Unfortunately as a mechanic , in a shop , You have to test ride them when you are done! I ran two shops in N.H. & all you can do is point out what is wrong to the owner & try not to hurt his feelings! (EVERYONE THINKS THAT THEY'RE A MECHANIC) A mechanic is dirt until their transportation won't start. Then they are a God!
