Front wheel alignment is off but nothing appears bent. Gotta take it apart and inspect everything. Left side plastic cover over the battery is destroyed. Handlebar is bent, and left side adjuster got tweaked a bit too. The brake lever is also bent from where it hit the underside of the truck on the frame. The IMS shifter did it's job though as far as I can tell.

Took the rear wheel off, and guess what I found. Rear sprocket is loose again. Those factory sprocket studs are worthless with the amount of play they have.
How is your friend?
