Modern Vespa

went to look at a et4 04 today took it for a spin here are some questions:
i found the front brake very weak it seems that the rear has more power (just got off my bike before the test ride with awsome powerfull brake) the front brake coming downhill was not powerfull enough to stop me. is it the way it is with scoots? do you need to use the rear ?the rear felt pretty strong with more stopping power than the front
otherwise the rest was ok the kick start did not work, the fuel gauge etheir are they easy to fix?
let me know
thanks

The front brake should be strong, not weak. Certainly not weaker than the rear brake.

The kick-start? I wouldn't worry about it...most don't use it anyway.

I'll let someone else chime in on the fuel gauge cause I don't know how easy it is to fix or replace it.
