THE CARBURETOR CAP ON A NEWLY PURCHASED PANTRY 49CC MOTORCYCLE CAME OFF WHILE MY 11 Y/O SON WAS RIDING IT. WITH NO WAY TO RETARD IT, THE THROTTLE WENT TO FULL BORE. WITH NO WAY TO STOP THE BIKE, MY SON'S RESPONSE WAS TO JUMP OFF IN ORDER TO AVOID A CATASTROPHE. HE SUFFERED SOME MINOR SCRAPES AND LOSS OF CONFIDENCE. THE BIKE IN-TURN, WAS SCRAPED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE HAND GRIP AND FOOT PEG, AND THE LEFT HAND FOOT PEG ASSEMBLY WITH THE KICK-STAND ATTACHED WAS BENT BACK TO THE POINT WHERE THE KICK-STAND NOW RUBS AGAINST THE DRIVE CHAIN AND CHAIN GUARD. *AK

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
