I just bought 2 brand new scooters from proven power sports, a 50cc for my daily driver around town and a 150 so I had something to keep up with highway speeds on long trips to work etc...I really wanted the powermax but they were outta stock and wouldn't have any for 2 more weeks so they upgraded me to the Lancer for free. This is my only transportation so I needed it ordered asap so now I have a very nice brand new taotao Lancer I'm trying to find a new powermax with low miles to trade.....ALSO, riders please beware of all vehicles on, and off the road..I am just now recovering from a SEVERE wreck I was recently in on my last scooter coming home from work a few months ago. A farm tractor pulling a hay rake pulled out of a field in front of me and I hit him full speed! (No helmet)..totaled my ped and almost killed me, I was rushed to the ER in shock (fight or flight mode), had multiple surgeries, crushed my skull, had to get a metal plate, plastic surgery with over 150 stitches putting my face back together (doc said the farm equipment basically tried ripping my face off), several displaced teeth, a compound leg fracture with metal plate, fractured orbital socket, broken nose, hand and alot of road rash! I'm VERY lucky to be alive, doctors were amazed I survived after seeing me! I thank God everyday..I'm % healed now and finally ready to get back on the road, just wanted to remind everyone of what can happen and ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings! Have a good day..I tried posting a pic of the accident but I don't know if it'll work, if not message me if you'd like to see the outcome of the wreck.. Attachments:

What speed where you going at, that you could not avoid the tractor? I can not imagine me doing that, if I see one pulling up I already slow down way before I'm even close!
