whats the fastest a 50cc ped can go?

[pspluke]

hi
i had quite a quick 50cc ped when i was 16 and just wondered how much faster than mine people get them. mine was a 03 italjet formula 50 lc and did 77mph on flat and 80mph on a slight hill it was totally standard ecept from port and polish and a removed rev limiter. please post your speeds and mods along with model of scooter please.

Please! no! not one of these threads.

We really need a seperate Ped forum, should keep everyone happy I would think. - Have it in the Off Topic chat forums section, too

Any chance of the dyno test results?

I once saw 70mph on an RS50 speedo down a massive hill, not sure what the true speed was.

I had a go on a Peugeot Speedfight which was so fast that I set off for work at 8:30 AM and arrived at 8:26 AM. Much to my surprise it turned out that the "modz" made by the owner had made it so quick it was able to travel faster than the speed of light! Luckily it was daytime as who knows what would have happened if I had needed to use my headlight.

I've never seen a ped go fast, can honestly say I've never seen one do more than about 40mph. When I see one keep up with dual carriageway traffic I'll get back to yous

mine will happy do 65mph in 6th (TZR 50) would probly do more if i pushed it.

as said, the speedos are miles out anyway, was probly around 55mph.

Also depends on how long you want the engine to last.

Fastest 50cc ever so far: 121.7mph.

Fastest RS50 I've seen is 84.3mph.

Hi

Strictly speaking if it does over 30mph or so then it isn't a moped.

No way would a 50cc scooter manage 77mph without serious work (serious enough work that the engine would have a short life expectancy compared to a grenade with the pin pulled out).

All the best

There seems to be a lot of far fetched claims here for standard 50cc bikes, my 50cc had a lot done to do it including 80cc bore kit and tuned as high as thought was safe, made 14bhp at the start of its life in the cold, and about 11bhp in the summer before I past my bike test and needed the exhaust pipes dechoking or something like that. It was put on a dyno after its 1st service.


I saw 74MPH on the speedo down a hill with me as small as possible and a bigger motorcycle + fat rider in front to slipstream.


I do think the speedo was made quite accurate but I'm unsure of the error. The smiley face gatso things used to always show the same speed as my speedo, but I don't know how accurate they are either.


The bike didnt even have a rev limiter and I doubt it could have gone much faster in that state of tune.
