peugeot scooters - Geoff Curran
I have just purchased a brand new speedfight 100 which has a slight front wheel wobble as if it needs balancing.
The dealer says it is "tyre patter" which is a characteristic of the bike.I am not convinced.
Is there anyone else out there with a similar problem?

Any comments would be much appreciated. thanks

New tyres should not wobble. Have you tried spinning the wheel to see if the beading is seated properly all the way round. Tyres do flat if they are on the bike unused for months but this would not apply here to a new tyre. Are the wheel bearings worn?

Sounds to me like you're dead right - it's out of balance, or as Andrew says, out of round. What else would cause it to patter? Andrew's right; it shouldn't do it!
