So I sold my Sporty today: worked motor, solo seat, forward controls, no handlebar switches, etc. A couple bought it and the woman initially intended on riding it away. They both said they were competent riders and he said he was a decent wrench. Her feet barely reached the controls, and after several times of putting it in first and taking it out she decided not to. They said they were going to go get a truck and pick it up, then the guy said f-it, he'll ride it home. Without overstepping any bounds I asked him if he was sure and he said no problem. He was maybe just a bit taller than her and after riding half a block he pulled over to wait for her in the car and almost dropped it. I was genuinely scared for him for a minute, but he eventually eased on along. I called him after about 45 minutes and he had made it to In-N-Out burger and said he was more comfortable once he got the hang of it. He still had 40 minutes of LA freeway riding to go. He thanked me for checking in and we hung up. I said another silent prayer for him/ them, and I sincerely hope they stay safe, but a part of me thinks I should have been more persuasive on the truck thing. I ultimately feel that a all sales are final and adults are responsible for themselves, and I have confidence in the build, I am just genuinely concerned.
