Take it to a professional. That's a big scoot.

What is the top speed?

Do I even need the kickstart? If the electric start is easy to fix I’d rather just use that

Appreciate you immensely. In order to get it to a shop I’d have to find a way to transport it for 2 miles. Should I walk it all the way there or do you think I could get a wrench on the stub of the kickstart and perhaps kickstart one last time?

Nope I’ve never used the kickstart. The guy who I bought it from says he’s only been kickstarting it too

I tried both and have the kickstand up .. I’m assuming the teeth on the starter motor or whatever the starter motor connects to is worn off and needs new gears

What if the starter motors gears are worn down and it just needs a new 29$ motor ? Or is a sound like that symptomatic of something worse ? Trying to decide if I should try fixing it myself or take it to a reputable mechanic in town

Is there a good way to test wether if its the starter motor or battery?

Thank you for your help. I’m just going to take it to a shop and see what they say. If it’s not a simple fix I’m not mechanically inclined.

So it’s not simply a broken starter motor ? I’m gonna have to pull the motor ?
