I didn't order dual stabalizers when I bought the unit. You live, you learn. I hung a chain with a turnbuckle on the othr side. Recomendation for anyone getting a 43cc mitsu, friction drive. Get the extra stabilizer. Specialy if you have to deal with frost heaves.
I haven't figured out the exact mileage, but I can ride to the border (44 miles) and back, on less than 1/2 gallon. Gas is $3.79.9 here.
Now, if I could just figure out how to fish without getting off it.
