I think Navee might have stuck a used/defective kick stand on my new GT5 max

Just got this scooter new off ebay. Haven't ridden it yet. It's in perfect condition except for whatever is going on with the kick stand. It looks worn, almost as if someone manually sanded it to make it work. When I move the stand the metal bracket digs deep into the plastic cap of the stand itself, too. I feel like it will quickly deteriorate.

I'm not sure if I should request a new kick stand or if this is typical. Anyone know?

Mom walks in. Sees me watching a fat bald dude blowing bubbles w/ metal playing and my pants undone.

Walks out. I swear I just ate too much.

Trying to imitate VFFVX in my 401k

How close am I here? Also open for other options entirely.

Vanguard 500 Index 44%

Vanguard Developed Markets Index 37%

Vanguard Mid Cap Index 8%

Vanguard Small Cap Index 2%

JP Morgan Core Plus Bond 9%

Obviously I'd swap in more bonds as I approach retirement.

Here's the funds available in my 401k

Sorry: Expense ends up about .05% with these funds. The American target date fund available has a .38% expense

I'm a long haul trucker, and I'm interested in a scooter.

I'm looking into electric scooters so I have a little more freedom on the road. Lots of times the location at which I'm able to park is several miles from anything worth doing. A scooter to bridge that gap would be nice.

I've tried looking around for options but as someone who isn't an enthusiast it is proving difficult to parse all the information. I'm sure you guys deal with these annoying questions often, but hopefully it's not too much trouble to get some suggestions.

I'm looking for something between $500-1000, ideally on the lower end. I'll only be using it once or twice a week, so comfort probably isn't a priority. The longer range the better, as I'd love to be able to go 20 miles into a big city and back. Size is also important as I already have too much crap in my truck, but I could make space if need be. I'm 5'10 ish and 170lbs.

I've seen the g2 Max which claims it has a 40 mile range and is about the right price, but I've seen it called outdated. But the g3 is too expensive. I also don't want any knock offs as I'll be sleeping only a few feet from the thing and would prefer to stay raw rather than well done. But I don't know what the reliable brands are.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Watch history now only goes back 1 year on both app and website

My history only goes back to May 2025. There is nothing before that. Anyone else have this issue?

There is also no longer an option on the website to export your data. So I can't even escape with what little data seems to be left.

I was so blown away with how bad this top rated screen protector on Amazon was that I felt I needed to make a warning post.

Once I had it applied, everything was extremely blurry. It makes text unbearable. And yes, I applied it correctly. The screen was perfectly clean.

Applying it went swimmingly, but it makes the device unusable. Do not buy this.
