How quick is 85mph on a scooter?(moped)

How quick is 75-85mph on a moped ?

My mate has just got a 70 kit on a 50cc bike and it goes about 75 - 85 mph now :O

Thanks,

Jake.

I would guess it is the about the same as a Busa at 75-85MPH

Get a sat nav and find out.

Or a stop watch and a known length of road.

Probably indicates 75 / 85mph. Wont be doing anywhere near that.

I had £1400 worth of MHR engine and Polini parts strapped to my old Speedfight. The clocks indicated 0mph (Yes, The needle did a full 360 of the dash). My Sat nav indicated 71.2mph recorded top speed down hill.

70-80MPH* on a bike designed to do 30 is gonna be a bit mental ... I am not sure the scooter will scale up speed wise too well???

I don't fancy doing that sort of speed feet-first!!!


*with a 70cc kit, I'd be very surprised if it does any more than 60odd mph ACTUAL speed. ... when I was a yoof, I had a 65cc kit on my TS50X ... it indicated 65 at times, so that was prolly 50-55 in real life. Hence guessing your mates is unlikely to be doing more than 60-65.

You could measure engine RPM
Factor in Transmission/final drive ratio/Wheel Inch which should tell you exactly distance travelled per meter.

Or Buy a 20 quid cycle computer and compare that.

Or what difference does it make?

Delia Smith's 2nd Law of Summer fruit pudding mixes states that: If it feels fast then it must be fast.

Speed is relative, and 65mph on a 50cc scooter feels a fuck lot faster than 150 on a sports tourer.

Don't worry about the figures, just enjoy it

Very valid point G. Only difference on most scooters is the speedo on the 50cc versions dont go as high. And most of the 50cc versions use rear drum brakes. Although on modern scooters, I think they are all rear disk now.
