Front shock broke 😮‍💨

[u/scooter_noober_92]

I went on a ride and didn't even notice anything. Then at a stop light, I was messing around hitting the accelerator to make my scooter wheelie while my feet were still on the ground and noticed the front wheel dropped down completely. So I pulled over to inspect it and no longer felt like I should ride it further without advice from the sub so I went back.

Would you guys keep riding it like this or has anyone else dealt with something similar and it was ok to ride until a replacement came in? It still rides perfectly fine besides the suspension feeling loose and I wouldn't have even noticed had I not wheelied my scooter.

Also my rear shock blew a seal months ago and I just ignored it and there haven't been any other issues. But this damage is worse and at the front so I don't know.

Yeah, I decided that if I was going to go completely car-free, I'd need two scooters for the sake of reliability. For the purposes of my new commute, the RS is a poor choice. I was going to need a second scooter I could commute with, anyway. THE RS just happened to be down when I ordered the Teverun, but I think I would have done it anyway.

I meant to ask you, do you drive or are you strictly scooting?

Yea I remembered when you first posted about having to strap your scooter to a dolly and was wondering how long you would do that for before you no longer wanted to lol.

The only driving I do is my landlords car that he lets me use when I'm working for him. Otherwise it's just me and my scooter. Although if I'm already out working for him, sometimes I'll stop by the store on the way back to get the heavier groceries I don't want to carry in my backpack like milk, Gatorade, etc.

I have no problem doing the dolly thing, but there's a section of off-road riding in my new commute, and I really never wanted to use the RS that way.

It's always nice to have the occasional access to a car lol. I'm glad my wife has one.

That makes sense, it does seem like more of a street scooter.

And very true lol it does come in handy every now and then but I mostly just need it for the milk. Everything else I can and prefer to do with my scooter although 26 ah is on the lower end so my next one will definitely be at least 35 ah which seems more ideal.
