    Hey, I just bought a razor MX 350 off of Facebook marketplace and it seems to be that when I lift the back end up the tire spins fine and the throttle works.except there is some little noise, I think it's from the chain but other than that it's fine but whenever I go to Drive it/ sit on it, it doesn't move and I know I'm not over the weight limit because I'm about 110 pounds.
