I guess it’s cool that they’re bringing it back. I suppose parts will be available again.

Parts would be great! I have 2 and fear riding either one because the parts are not available if something goes wrong. I wonder how many of these are left – in ridable condition.
Better lighting for night riding and a bit more power would be great too.
