My front brake seems to be sticking. The front wheels does not spin easily, it will roll when the throttle is on but if I try to spin it by hand or push the scooter, it feels like it is braking.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for any info.

Is this on the P200?
It may not be your brake. My LX was having a similar problem. Turned out to be wheel bearings. I was lucky the wheel didn't seize on me. You should pull it apart and check the brakes and bearings ASAP or have a mechanic look at it.

x2 for pulling it apart to check it out. If its a drum it may just be filthy and need to be cleaned. The pivot could be rusty and sticking as well. Clean it all and regrease it. And, as above, check those wheel bearings while you are there.
