Hello DualSportDad,
I've owned my little "go-cart on steroids" since late '16. The only issues I've had were a bad radiator cap leak and a front strut issue, which the dealer took care of even though I purchased elsewhere. I modified the back by taking out the seat and turned it into a micro-mini panel wagon. It's been great on really long hauls, like from OKC to Mount Rushmore. Throw everything in the back and go....especially with the "sport mode" turned on!
BTW, I was not overly impressed with the Perilli's, they didn't even last 12K miles. You might want to look at other options.
Hope this helps...
