Do it, you won’t regret it! The difference in my ride quality was like night and day. The hardest part was originally figuring out how to push down on the fork cap in order to remove the clip that holds everything in. Follow my directions and it’s a piece of cake. Let us know how it turns out.

Fork oil and brake fluid seem to be neglected the most.  Will change the fork oil in my 200S since I already have the plastic off.  Thanks for the update.

Hey I'm shooting  for fair condition at this point. One thing that immediately stands out is how light it is compared to the Xiciting's and GV's. It would be easy to haul around on a RV.

@KK, yes, even there is not that much in weight difference from my LIKE 200 to my Grand Dink 150, the LIKE feels/handles like a toy to push around.
For the seating position I would prefer the GD but for easyness the Like is the choice to putter around.
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus

My Xicting 500 cc is 474# 215kg  the People 200S  is only 256# 116kg which is almost half the weight.  This would be a good scooter for teaching people to ride. Like you said the lite weight  feels like a toy pushing it onto the trailer.  The other neat thing is how uncomplicated this little machine is.

Want to thank Iahawk for all the tutorials
