typically in my history of after market shocks they are stiffer than stock. so if you plan on off roading an after market shock might not be the ticket.

Besides that read the sticker on the scooter, it is NOT an offroad vehicle.

Yup, the Whoops are no fun at all with 2" of suspension travel. I forgot who posted that there is a real risk of breaking the rear part of the transmission case.
A much better paved-road ride can be had from DayWot or VT Cycles' 270mm blue shock - about $75.
