Hi,
I'm new to the scooter life and I bought a (R50x Extreme TGB Racing) and it came with now owners manual... Can someone tell me how to release the cover (seat)  to the fuel tank? My sister only had it a short time and lost the key so she used a screw driver to try and start it but now the thing will not start.. She said (after i bought it) that the battery wouldn't shut off and she had to start it with a wire.. I'm very confused on all of this.. Do you think I will need to replace the egnition? Also are these batteries expensive to replace? My husband thinks it will cost lots of $$ to fix it if there is more problems.. Can someone tell me if they have had any issues with theirs? Any suggestions for me?


Thanks,
Sara ???
