has always been stored inside, it has some scratches, there is a small metal piece that has become crooked inside the front brake so you can't press it all the way in, but it can brake well, one of the grips is broken, haven't changed it, it may well be a matter of taste which grips are on. I have always serviced it myself, i havnet used it alot the last two years, thats why I m Selling it, It's really cool to ride and very easy to get around on the trail with it.
