Not all of the:ani29: bikes have these issues and it is true that many things can be solved for a newer owner by taking the time to read the manual. I am of course very happy for those who have enjoyed trouble free riding or have quickly found the answers to questions/problems by referring to the manual or a dealer. Thus far this unfortunately has not been the case for me and it appears from what I read that I'm not alone. This of course is the case for all things with motors and wheels.
