Well that did not take long.  Thanks everyone!  The bike is sold. 

Thank you!  They are really good looking machines.  We have the white with the red seat too, also an 18.  But my wife is keeping that one.  IMO, so much better than the Honda (huge Honda fan with 4 of them...not knocking Big Red at all). 

Despite getting her an electric pump, reminding her incessantly, and doing it for her when I was up that way...no; she did not routinely check her pressure which is why she wound up like this.  She actually wound up having to have surgery to repair her ACL because of this.  Lesson learned! 

Can we get a pic of the damage?...if that's not too nosy.
Here's a LIKE200i which was hit-and-runned (sounds like a baseball play), hit-skipped then.
Fellow lived down the street from me.

Van pulling out of Walmart hit him in the side - sped away.
Rider broke L arm.
Never solved.

Seeing this scooter go by my work every day is the reason I got interested in buying one.

Well, I went up to Gainesville with the new Pirelli Angels in hand, and a bunch of tools too.  I filled up my pancake compressor before leaving.  When I arrived, I saw the rear tire still had tread but just slipped off of the bead.  I also noticed that she had bent both brake handles.  The compressor had enough air volume to pop it back on the bead.  The damage was to the front fender (toast) the silver muffler guard and the right rear cowl which was split but barely scratched.   Solano, one of the vendors listed in the previous post and where I purchased the bikes for the girls, is there in town.  Since it needed more than the tires that day, I decided to just take it in and have them do the work. 

I was not a fan of Solano for after-sale service.  However, something has changed for the better.  It seems that they now have kind of a concierge model there.  The mechanic walks you through everything.  Very good experience, other than the Kymco site caused some delays not the fault of Solano.  I was pleasantly surprised.  40 bucks for the front fender, 100 bucks for the rear cowl.  I thought both prices were reasonable.  I was very happy with the service there this time.  I was actually regretting going in there, to be honest.  Tires installed, fluids changed, both brake handles replaced and installed, plastics purchased and installed, 300 bucks.  I don't think that is bad at all.  I know, tires, brake handles, service, and plastics are all easy DIYs.  But, the bike is 250 miles away, it's done and it is guaranteed.  Worth every penny for me.  I was able to spend the rest of my day with my daughter which is priceless. 

I did not take pics but my daughter did.  I'll get them and post them.   

I want to sincerely thank all of you for taking the time to help us out.  It is very much appreciated!  I do hope to be able to return the favor. 

Thank you, Stig.  She is doing just fine.  Bone bruise and a bad sprain.  On crutches, but getting much better.  Believe it or not, she wears gear, which is unusual for a college student here in Florida.  But....if she would have checked her tire pressure it never would have happened.  That's the dad coming out I know but you get my drift!     

Wow, that was quick!  Thank you so much!  I see that there are two dealers here in Florida.  I have dealt with one of them before...I'll just say this...I hope the other supplier can fulfill the order!  I don't want to be negative or inflammatory, as it is not in my nature and I do not want to make a bad first impression here on the forum.  Thank you very much again for the quick response!  By the way, my first name is Mike (MZ is fine too!).  I hope that I can return the favor sometime soon.  I have to replace two tires on that scooter that dumped.  I can post pics or a vid if that is something that would be helpful ( and paying back a little for the awesome help).
