It isnt a dang moped! :evil:

That british guy said scooters mainly, but then he said "It's rare for them to set up a moped race in these streets"

I wonder how fast they are going for 50-70cc, the top speed even with the best parts is probably still around 50-60mph, maybe 70?

I know theres vespa races in europe where people have tricked out P's with the bodies cut up to lighten the weight. Those things are like super bikes in a scooter body.

The guy in this video must be experienced to ride with his knees out.

And this, thhere went his gas mileage!

Tuned 50cc-based scooters (mopeds) can get upwards of 80 mph from 25+ hp on some sprint bikes.

I guess it's believable then since people putting performance parts on their peugot speedfighter 50cc can hit max 80mph with 400 dollars worths of mods from a go kart.

Please stop. It's not true.
