50cc (2t)32 year old ped,sitter for a little while-
some issues at 1st,now sorted-
max's out 20-25 m.p.h.,
Looking at above,over 6dy week,for say 6weeks.
aup mark,i dont no much about your scoot or what youve done to it but i had something similar years ago,,it wanted to roll backwards on hills and did the speeds you mention
the guy across the road at the time was a pizza bike mechanic,,,,pulled another exhaust out the back of his van,bolted it on,,,the thing flew up hills and cruised at 30-35mph,,alot safer at roundabouts aswel
you could prob find a newer model exhaust on fleabay for a tenner
i did 110 miles on my scoot yesterday (took note of what km it was showing on odometer and just checked it then converted to miles) and its going fine today. dont see why if you maintain it, it wont do 200 miles in a week. easily done aslong as its maintained well.
doing 200 miles over 6 days is no different to doing 200 miles over 6 months,the problems your bike would have in 6 months is going to happen in 6 days
works out at 30 odd miles a day,,unless your at full throttle on a summers day i cant see why this would be a problem for a reliable bike
