My 250 (244 actually) does almost 70 WOT. You are having some serious problems if you only get 45-50.

Sounds like a clogged carb. But since you tried 2 others, I'd start looking at my fuel pump and lines. Check the gas tank for debris.

It was designed for a bicycle that does not go as fast as a scooter. What happens if you crash doing 40mph? And there is no face protection on it either. It's not a good design for anything faster than a pedal bike.

Oy Vey. Here let me hand you a new paddle to replace the first one you broke in your self-flagulation. LOL Never have a technical discussion in physics with someone who thinks quantum mechanics is what Q does for Mr. Bond.  |

Mostly correct except I meant pure force. Not electromotive. Gravitic force. If you can answer that, I'll split the Nobel with you.

Maybe the belt is jumping on top of the pulleys? That would really change the RPMs and give you the max speed it can give. Stranger things have happened.
Open it up and see if the belt jumped up on the edge of the pulley.
Some rough guesstimates.
A 10 inch wheel would run like a 16 inch wheel with an extra half inch on the pulley. So if the belt jumps on top of the edges of the ramp and it's about a quarter of an inch difference then you reduce your rpms about 40% for the same speed. Sound about right?

How far off does it fall?
Sounds to me like it shifted gears. But then you don't have gears...

As long as that wire is a ground, there is no conflict.

Great story. Reminds me of when I used to just hop on my bike and cruise till I wound up somewhere. Wish I could do that now. Trying to talk the wife into a road trip with me around the country. See all the tourist things.
