Don't even think about it.

A good friend of mine owned a Sachs Madass. The worst bike he has ever owned. It suffers from bad engineering, assembly and sub par quality parts. In the rain the speedometer stops working. A seal on the kick start pops and leaks oil, common issue. Forums report bolts falling off, like the bolts on the wheel axels and swing arm.

Keep far far away from it..

Look at the Honda Grom. Check the forums. Even if you can't purchase one new, you can still purchase the engine with all the components to make it run, used on the forums. My friend replaced the Madass with the Grom, 3,000+ miles and no issues, all stock.

Keep looking.
