It will be restricted because i would have expected a max speed of 60-70.

Take it to a dealer and ask about de-restriction.

Or to do it your self check a washer in the variator and the exhaust will have restrictors in it. Either get a performance one or take the restrictors out of the original. Also the CDI unit will be restricted. Replace this also.

Would expect around 90ish is this is done.

My mighty Malaguti Phantom got to an indicated 67 once. So that was probably about 50 in the real world.

Next door had a yam Aerox, i managed 60mph on it when taking it to the MOT centre - the guy was selling after declaring it sorn and since it was off the road for a year, his CBT validity expired so i had to take it.

I've been borrowing a Peugeot Looxor 100cc 2t for just over a week while I save up the money to get my RX exhaust welded and the whole bike licensed/insured. To be honest, it's one of the most fun bikes I've ever ridden! It's very light, pulls well on the throttle, drops quickly into corners and has front and rear discs. Also has large wheels which makes for a more stable ride over bumps and through corners. But it also gets to a top speed of about 53-55 mph on a flat, which is about as fast as the Runner SP 50 I borrowed last year . I've checked for a washer by the variator and there is none, yet it still feels like it's running out of gearing near the current top speed because the revs reach fever pitch.

I find it hard to believe that that's the true top speed, however, since this would eliminate it from being able to drive on 55 mph roads without running out of gas every 30 minutes.

First of all Its not a moped.

A moped would be less than 50cc and have a top speed of no more than 30mph.

It would be a 100cc motorcycle as is must have a numberplate light and full set of working headlights.

Also it wont be restricted, the only thing restricting the speed is its own lack of power!

I had a speedfight 100, 55 is all you could expect really and about 60 downhill.

Get a REAL bike.

You shouldn't expect great speeds from 100cc peds. The Speedfight 100 can do a max of about 60 really, probably the case for most others. You'll find a tuned 70cc and tuned 100cc, the 70cc will be better on top end and acceleration, simply because the 100's are low revving and the 50's are high revving, giving them a tad more power up top.

The other half says around 50 is probably the right figure for an mbk. He also says the Malaguti uses the same motor but is probably about 10-15mph quicker, but it also revs a lot higher & has a different CDI.

My old speedfight did 90kmh/56mph on the clock on the flat that is, (10kmh more downhill) which according to a sigma trip computer was about 54mph. When i had tuned it to a massive 10.8bhp it could reach 64mph on the trip or 115kmh on the clock.
A 70cc kitted 50, with a good pipe and well set up should do a real 65-70mph. All the 100cc scooter engines are low tech, air cooled units with less power potential than a Honda H100 engine.

There aint a single restriction on the 100cc pug motor, If its revving high and struggling to reach 50mph, your belt and rollers are probably shagged!
The whole tuning thing is a waste of time on such a basic engine, that does not rev much over 6000rpm normally anyway. If you must do somthing then put a different pipe on, and try about 1gram lighter rollers. Thats still a waste of money, but it might get you 4-5mph in ideal conditions.

[nick_surty]

my gilera runner 50cc hits 55mph, altho its been fully de-restricted, pipe, n bits n pieces. my mates 70cc NRG hits 70mph. 4-strokes are much slower than 2-strokes (ped wise)
best to get a 125 2-stroke if ur after speed. they can top 100mph if done-up

[Biker-Kev]

I said 90 because a mate had a speedfight 100cc and with a race pipe on it he was getting around 85 with it..

My mate had a then brand new 04 reg speedfight 100.

I used it to go blackpool on and it did 55mph as stock.

I really enjoyed riding it though, it was really really smooth and was fast off the mark.

Speedfight and aerox 100's are not restricted as they do not exceed 14.6bhp.

The 100cc scooters are slow, a tuned 70 will be a lot quicker but obviously for a price. So if you want a comfortable cruising speed of 55 and a top of about 60 without having to tune it they are good.

To be honest you have to be 17 to ride a 100, so why not get a runner/typhoon/dragster/skipper 125.

These do 65-70mph topend and are a hell of a lt better on low end.

I think i misunderstood the post, answer is it should be going about 60.

hi i recently bought an aerox 100, the guy i got it off said that its restricted but not in the variator in the exhaust. getting a new pipe anyway so that doesnt matter.
but i read somehwere that the engins ports are pretty rubbish so produce a lack of power, thinking a malossi 125 big bore??
good idea or not??

thanks
Jay
