    Hi I just bought a 2012 Two with 35k miles a month ago. It was very well maintained by the 1st owner at dealership.
    Put about 1000 miles on it and has been a nice drive though less power than my Ducatis. :) I've noticed overnight that it might lose a couple bars or so. In the last week I notice that accelerating at the light it might dip to 20-25mpg which I wasn't sure if it should. Last night I went to drive it, after previous drive maybe 20 hours before, and it wouldn't enter gear. Turned on, windows work, no radio, won't drive. Checked online before posting here. Anyone been through this? TIA

    Whenever there's a power issue, no start, no lights, blah blah......always check the power source. The 12v battery!
