First real ride on the scoot. A little hard to see the speedometer at night. Mirrors are useless. I'm not even 6' and all I can see is my self. Have to scrunch down to see behind me. Brakes still have me worried but I bet it is normal. I should have worked on them but so excited to have my plate and tabs wanted to ride into work. Didn't spill my coffee until i got to the lot at work. Need some kind of holder or i don't get decent coffee

Guess I could use a thermos but would be a big pain.
Have put more miles on this thing in a week than the previous owners did in 6years!
*just delirious from lack of sleep
Have a GREAT weekend!

Mirrors can be adjusted or there are mirror extenders that will put them further away from the bike so you can see behind better without so much contortion. Ebay has something like that for relatively cheap.
