Maybe the Zapino has a great motor but the design of the kickstand needs to be addressed. The kickstand on my friends doesn't hyper extend, nor have any springs, making it vulnerable to collapse. I found this out the hard way as I admired the Zapino (with only 10 miles) by sitting on it. When walking away, I heard a crash as the bike collapsed due to an ultra slight incline coupled with the poorly designed stand. Just about everything on the left side broke including the ultra brittle plastic floor board (much like humpty dumpty). Only two parts were available for replacement (blinker and a cover for $100). Evidently the other parts will not be available as it is last year's model. So...beware as the good looks are skin deep. I have ridden motorcycles for years and never had a major brand bike's kickstand fail this way. I have had horrific crashes that resulted in minor scratches and trivial broken parts (I was much worse for wear than the bike). From now on, if it says made in China, I will admire from 10 ft back. Oh, and Zapino would claim no responsibility for the faulty kick stand. | Satisfaction | Score |
