Who in their right mind would purchase an unproven scooter for that
price when they could get something that has obviously been tested for
$100 more?

It looked like a cheap copy because the nose cone seemed distorted (kind
of like putting ice cream on a cone).

What really offends me is that it was false advertising!  Even if this
was a the real thing, I would rather see the profit go to the WKPP
efforts than save $100.

Just my thoughts.
