My dealer was told that the wheel was shipped 2 weeks ago.
When it didn't arrive, he called and was told that the wheel was on back-order and would be shipped in 2 weeks.

When I had the ABS issue with my Like they ended up replacing the front wheel.  What my tech told me was that the Magnetic ring on the front wheel as well as the speed sensor was bad.  He said that over torquing the front axle nut could damage the ring.  He replaced the whole wheel because he didn't think replacing just the ring was a good idea.  Ho told me it was a bad design and he thought they would have a lot of issues with it.

As for the factory over torquing the axle nut.  My buddy bought a 2020 Like 150i.  There were no balance weights on the front wheel so he decided to pull it off and check the balance.  He said the front axle was way over torqued because it took a big breaker bar to get it off.  The wheel was perfectly balanced and so far he has had no issues with his scooter. 

I need to take my mine back to the dealer because the engine occasionally just quits.  The Like 150i is a great scooter......when it isn't broke.
