Such a common issue with first time moped owners.
A owner of a shop I knew said he had a hard time for people to even back for the first servicing that was required for the guarantee, some would come back some wouldn’t, it wasn’t long later that they would have problems with their bikes.
Many times he went to open the drain plug and black goop with metal shavings would come out, fluid was never checked or changed, no oil in the sight glass or warning light from low oil in tank would be on, The tires low on air, just about flat, chain out of adjustment, brakes out of adjustment, bike damage being dropped but they still continue riding until all seized up,
All they thought they has to was add oil to the tank and or to the transmission and everything would be fixed.
His Service department (one full-time mechanic and the owner was part-time too) was always backed up, he had a room full of bikes with service tags on them unclaimed when he went out of business (12 years and $60,000 in debt later)
