Hey all. I'm pretty new to the scooter world so I pre-apologize if the answer is obvious/ asked many times over but what does the red line around 55mph mean on the speedometer ? Thanks In advance!

It means you're entering tuck speed.
What is tuck speed?
It's easy!
Step 1) Accelerate to the red line on the buddy odometer
Step 2) Get into a tuck to become less wind resistant.
Step 3) Do NOT roll off the throttle, do the opposite.
Smile, you've achieved tuck speed.

Brilliant! Interestingly enough this is the speed at which I start to tuck.
Great interpretation!

"55" is highlighted on my speedometer to indicate that if I hit that, I'm violating one or two laws of physics.

It actually corresponds to a unit of measurement known as a Hagar. This unit was discovered by scientist Samuel Hagar, as a speed at which one is unable to travel.

It's just like the turbo boost button on knight rider, except you get 7 camera angles instead of the old school 3 angle slow motion shot, AND it works more than once per episode.

It used to be the US national speed limit for better fuel economy after the 70's gas shortage and rationing and all vehicles had 55 mph highlighted on the speedo. Not sure why PGO has continued with it since the limit was lifted many years ago
