I am really interested in fixing it myself but I don't know the first thing about fixing scooters or anything... I'm looking online to see if I could teach myself but I dunno if I'm capable.
This was a stupid impulse buy on my end, I paid $700 for it off Craigslist, then $400 on a new battery & brakes and tires that were worn out. Also on towing 2 times.

I recently bought a 2008 Lance Venice with 4,300 miles. The mechanic said the engine runs good (I had a brand new battery installed after I purchased it). So far I've put almost $1,200 into the thing so the thing is I don't know if I should cut my losses and just buy a new scooter without so many problems. The problem seems to be that the generator does not recharge the battery while I'm driving, so the scooter can only handle about 1.5 hours of driving before it dies. At this point I don't know if I should go back to the mechanic and fix the issue (which he wants to do, but it would be at least $ ) or if I should just recharge the battery myself before I ride every single time? If so, how would I go about doing that. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
