I have taken this bike to the dealer as the wheel is defective. They even mentioned that this is a known issue and i fear for my safety. I have inquired with several other owners of similar vehicles and they stated this is a known issue from Vespa. I inquired with the manufacturer as well and they state the bike is out of warranty and they will not do anything, even though they know it is a faulty part. I feel as though something should be done about this with the knowledge they produced a motor vehicle with defective parts.
