Why is my uphill speed so slow?

[GREENI3]

Whenever I go up a hill/slight incline my moped literally almost comes to a complete stop.

I know mopeds are slow, but mine uphill is just rediculous

I do about 10mph up a hill, then it feels like it completely loses power, as it drops below 5, stops for a second or 2 and then regains a bit of power.

I think it might be the drive belt being to loose and not being able to engage properly on any sort of incline, but I'm not to sure.

Any ideas?

How big & heavy are you as it maybe struggling on a steep incline -hey it's got be asked!

Also, has this happened recently and never had problems before that on that type of steep incline?

This is where normal bikes blow scooters, etc, off the road and maybe your bike isn't automactically changing as it did before to the appropriate gear as the condition changes!

Definitely worth getting the belt cover off and having a look. Knackered belt is a possibility that may not help.

Changing the rollers may help - it may be staying in relatively too high a gear (think this would be due to too heavy rollers).

Or possible it's just not making enough power over all.

It's a 50cc scooter, they don't do hills.

I know my bike isnt a scooter but it is still a 50 so I thought I would share.

I have to keep my bike singing all the way up the hill else it wont go. I have had 40 up probably a 30 degree incline before. And it does help having a clutch as you can slip it and ride it a bit and get it into the powerband.

Oh, and Im 6'1"-2" and Im like 16 stone

it makes a huge difference when it comes to the hills

17 in October.

Tbh I wouldn't have enough money or experience to take my test and buy a bike over 125cc.

Anyway isn't your license restricted to 250cc (33bhp) for 2 years, or are you planning on restricting it?

Plus the insurance would cost a considerable amount for me if I went and bought a 400 straight after passing my test

Rather buy a decent 125 like a cbr.

I haven't even been on a geared bike yet
