Hi peeps, I've had an unfortunate accident about two weeks ago while driving in the wet.
Took a corner at a speed which I thought was fine, but apparently was not.
Result: back wheel broke away, moped landed on its right side, I landed on the tarmac, resulting in some bruising, a lot of painful (but mostly superficial) wounds and scratches and bends on the moped.
Fortunately I was able to ride home still, albeit while pointing my handlebars to the right in order to go straight
I've replaced the bent handlebar with a new one and replaced most of the parts that were all scratched up.
Went for a ride again to test it out and still had to point my handlebars to the right slightly while also nog sitting completely in the center of my seat. (had to sit to the left of the center of my seat)
It's definitely driveable, but a bit annoying, so I'd like to fix it (myself if possible).
However I'm no mechanic and have little knowledge of what I'm doing so I can't even tell what needs fixing/replacement at this point.
Is there someone who could point out what's broken/bent?
I've added pictures so you can kind of see what the problem seems to be
Any help is appreciated
