>>1873607>That steering column is used on multiple low budget chinese rebrand models and is known to be trash. It will start twisting and eventually crack where the quick release is locatedCan you show me where on pic?
Because here it is. On top of this threaded pipe thin aluminium pipe slides in and clamps with clamp, which isn't problem as you're not supposed to exert any force to steering column. It is steering column, not handle pole.
That steel pipe has questionable design where there is washer welded with just 3 spots and is supposed to handle whole weight, but in worst case shit breaks you will just have no suspension and front fork will fly off.
>The folding mechanism that's attached to the deck is also an outdated design It is proper design, unlike M365/Max style. Because it folds much smaller. But as a trade off, it is high stress design.
>the deck to eventually split open where it's screwed in and soon breaks the scooter in twoIt is more interesting. Either top aluminium part cracks, or bottom part where it threads to cracks. Kinda worrying, but at the same time, I've replaced this shit with angle iron bracket for wood beams and such and it would have been OK if I drilled holes right, not at an angle.
>Companies have stopped using that design for obvious reasons.Speedway still uses this design. E-TWOW uses similar design too. Reason why others don't use this design is because it is much more expensive than making non-stressed part of stem to fold, but as I said, I don't like that type of folding mechanism as it is a scam, an afterthought.
>Front ""suspension"" of that type on rebrands has been known to snap clean off if you hit too many bumps. Again, where does it break. Bolt which holds the hex bar in the hex pipe, or where fork is welded to the hex bar. Both can be fixed, but one is much more dangerous than other.
