i was going through withdrawl from not riding and it was a little warmer today than it was all week so i decide to go for a ride. i was riding it through my back yard which REALLY bumpy with little mini hills with very little leval spots and i was actually geting a little air on my zuma from hiting the bumps at full throttle which surprized the hell out of me. then i tried to ride a wheely for the first time with a two wheeled machine. the first one i did i got the wheel about 6 in off the ground for a few seconds. then i tried another one but i wasnt payin attention to the ground and hit a bump as i was pulling back. the zuma stood strait up scaring the crap out of me. i let off and leaned forward and as it came down it fell to the side throwing me off. the zuma fell on its side pretty hard and i though for sure it broke. but thankfuly it didnt brake anything it didnt even shut off when it fell, just got a little mud and grass on it. me i scuffed my knee, ripped a hole in my pants, and knocked the wind out of me. and my lessoned learned-no more stunt riding wannabe for me.lol.
so i give the zuma two thumbs up on durability on the suspension from the lillte mini jumps and durabilty of the body from holding up to the fall.
oh not sure if this is in the right place-feel free to move if not.

nice... Haven't had any accidents with my zuma... yet... anyway, they appear to be pretty sturdy compaired to other "small" scooters...

I'm not looking to make it a habit to lay it down or anything but I'm sure it'll be easier to fix than my old 454 LTD motorcycle was... and probably cost much less!

anyway, glad to hear nothing horrible happened... and keep on having fun... some of us are on "snow & ice" grounding till spring!

I 12'O clocked my zuma. I cracked my license frame and took off paint off of it. I ttok paint of the License plate. I scratched the little light that gives the license plate the light.

I also go riding in the Forest Preserves around here. Kids build ramps. I jump them with the zuma. :D I crashed once or twice. No biggy. The first time I though I broke something because the scooter didnt want to start. But then it finally started. I also hurt my leg.
