Nice racing

[@leehollick7804]

excellent videos Team

[@ChasingTenths]

this was a nice watch , everyone's on it

[@chitoglou]

this is the way....

[@olliewilshaw480]

What scoots are these, 2 stroke 125?

[@chitoglou]

it varies from 150cc to 250cc and all of them 2T. The onboard bike is 150cc with a FRT cylinder while the lambrettas are 200-250cc. And the hp is usually from 38hp to 45hp.

Needs a faster engine

[@chitoglou]

We were short geared on those videos, and when we changed to the right gearing, the stator gave up. We should be reaching around 100mph with a proper gearing with this engine

Looks terrific - but doesn't it just make you want to ride a real bike!?? 🤔 😁

[@RoadUser_Motovlog]

i ride a proper motorcycle but let me tell you launching a 2 stroke moped on the track is real fun! Plus it's a lot cheaper both to run and transport to the track

[@chitoglou]

Generally speaking, it is slightly harder to ride on those tracks at that pace (1:53:00 lap at cadwell) with 10inches wheel. The camera absorbs everything due to the stabilization but in other footage, you can definitely see how challenging it actually is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX3GqmWrpNh0pJY

@@chitoglou true. at first i went to the track with a Piaggio Zip which has 10" wheels, it felt too unstable to me, i then switched to my favourite track weapon: a Liquid Cooled Piaggio Liberty 1st gen, 16" wheels, great for top speed and fast turns (plus it's insanely overrated, so it's a surprise when it battles with more mainstream builds)

[@Lyingleyen]

@@chitoglou Yes, I was being deliberately provocative. I couldn't believe how fast the scooters were going. I seem to remember Scooter racing has been going for a long time at club level, but I didn't realise just what level they'd reached. At least you're not racing off-road with the 10 inch wheels! How much power are the engines making? 👍👍

[@Lyingleyen]

@@RoadUser_Motovlog Ha ha ha yes, looks like a lot of fun as well as a challenge with the little wheels on fast bumpy corners. 😁😁
