Hi,
I haven’t ridden my 2011 People 300i scooter for a few months. Just today, I noticed that there had been a new leak coming from the Radiator Cap Compartment (on left side, near my left knee, and slightly above floorboard).  Without trying to start the scooter, I tried to unscrew the Compartment’s cover but was unable to remove it. I live in Texas where it’s pretty darn hot but haven’t had issues with it overheating or anything (when I was riding it with more regularity). Basically, any recommendations on what may have caused the leak (again, likely happened while sitting for about two months)? Also, any recommendations for next steps? I can do some basic repairs but nothing too intense. Thank you all in advance.

I couldn’t wait. I tried Stig’s idea and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!!!! Never would’ve thought of pressing down on the back of the seat will turning the key counter clockwise. How in the world did you figure that out?
Stig, you are awesome. Thank you so much. I will now be able to gas in my scooter

Hi, my scooter is similar to your scoot. With the key in the ignition the it shows that I should go counter clockwise for two “clicks”. I can only get it to one “click” going counter clockwise and this it won’t open.
I know there’s got to be a simple way to open it. I have opened the seat one time and on that one occasion it simply let me do the two counter clockwise “clicks”. Just that one time, my dream came true and I was able to easily open the seat.
