If its restricted de restrict it. Pretty sure its just a tiny washer on the 4strokes,my cousins was anyway (not same model scoot as yours though). Should give you a couple more mph,dont expect much though,after all its a 4 stroke 50cc. Good luck. Thumbs Up

I think this backs up what people advises me with a Chinese bike.

Does it make any unusual sounds as it rides?

Or is it just plain slow?

There's something definately wrong with that.
If it has a restriction I doubt removing it is going to make it any faster as it seems you have a genuine problem.

Could be there isn't enough petrol getting into the engine, CDI is restricting it, low compression.

Best advice I could give you is either get a bus to your new job, buy a recognised make of a scooter or put up with the 20mph just so you can get to work while looking for something that will run properly Thumbs Up

my problem is that my new job is a pizza delivery job

trade it in? Bigger CC unrestrictive exhaust, better airflow capabilitys, propper set up.
If it was me i'd sell it and buy a nice 2stroke ped.

Take it back to where you bought it and demand that it is repaired as it is clearly not fit for purpose. If the repair that is made is not satisfactory then demand a refund. Any dealer will have to take a bike back off you if it is not fit for purpose unless you accept a repair.
