Idunnoboutdat, Moe. At the end of the NY rally, just after fully loading and preping for departure, I found I had to do the Run / pop jump start to get her going (It's a bugger trying to push and hop onto a fully laden scoot and find the seat - It took 2 attempts). I rode her all the way home with only one more 'shakey' moment (there was always enough power to 'click' and not always enouph to turn the starter. Maybe if FULLY dead, it won't sustain, but, I was able to go a few hundred miles counting only on the charging system.
