When I bought the brand new scooter, it wouldn't start at the dealership. So they made me wait while they replaced the battery.
I drove it home and let it sit a couple of days.
The next time, it wouldn't start.
I pulled off the windshield and took off the front panel to get to the battery and jumped it to get it going again.

I then realized there are two "power off" options on the power dial. It seems I should never use the power off on the right side, but should always turn the dial to the Power Off on the left side.

I thought the issue was resolved.

The other day I got ready to take it out again. I first wanted to set up the Kymco app on my phone and connect it to the bike. This took a bit of time trying to find the app, download, register, and then trying to figure out how to pair it with the bike. I had to go grab the user manual in the middle of this. I get the app paired and then I have to download a map in the app to use the GPS. I get the map downloaded and turn by turn directions now displaying on the bike dashboard. Woo hoo!

However, it doesn't have enough juice again to turn over. I presume the amount of battery used to get this bike paired to my phone, and to use the bluetooth connection, it drained enough of the battery. Now I'm afraid to use the bluetooth app at all in fear that there won't be enough battery to start it.

Is something wrong? I read in other postings that this used to be a bigger issue but it seems like everyone thinks this has been resolved in the newer models. Now I don't trust this thing one minute, and to get to the battery is an absolute headache. I will have to bring my tool bag and battery jump starter pack with me every time I ride.

Is there an option to upgrading to a better battery than what comes from the manufacturer that won't have this problem?
