Yup. When my first one was totaled, I was kinda cool with that as I figured the second one wouldn't have the same problem. They were assembled by two different dealers as well. I'm leaning towards thinking it might be the wheel bearing? I dunno...

I've had two People S's, got the second one after an accident destroyed my first one. I had a 2009, and now I have a 2010, and I've had a clanking noise in the rear of both of them. I'm not really that scooter savvy, so I've no idea where to look! The local dealer has looked at it, but because they've made themselves deaf from working with too many motors, they can't seem to hear the obvious clanking that I can. Here's what I can tell:

The clanking is dependent on my speed, speeds up when I do, slows when I do as well.
It doesn't get worse or better when I hit the brakes
I mostly hear it when I am taking a sharp turn around 20mph or less, left or right
It's worse when my tires are low and on the last one, the clanking wasn't so bad when they tightened the suspension (could be totally unrelated I suppose)
The brake pads look just fine, no blue-ing although on my 2009 there was a very slight amount of it.

This clanking is driving me nuts, and I'm a little concerned about it being a safety issue (although the dealer assures me they've checked it all out and haven't seen anything dangerous).

Has anyone else had this problem? It seems like a strange thing that it's happened with BOTH my scooters. What did you do about it? What was it?!

Thanks in advance for any advice!!
