jasper090 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Hello,I bought another bike a few weeks back as a back up bike to my notoriously unreliable Gilera. I saw it on ebay and bought it because it looks hilarious! Unfortunately its very slow... As in it struggles to go thirty! So I was wandering whether it may be restricted some how? also, has anyone ever come across one of these before? Its in very good condition, it only has 4000 miles on the clock plus all the relevant paperwork - how much do you reckon its worth? I want to know whether i got ripped off (not that I care - bike is quite amusing so it would make up for over paying!) or whether I got a bargain. Also, does anyone know of a place where I could get parts for this bike? Thanks!Jasper Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 it is a restricted 50cc ped so it will struggle to do much more then 30 only places i know of for parts would be peugeot dealers or ebay if you are lucky Quote
jasper090 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Right so if its restricted, what is it that I would have to do to derestrict it? yeah I've tried both of those places and no luck . Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 would depend on how it is restricted it could be in the exhaust it could be in the carb or if fuel injected it could be done through the ecu Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 but i have got to ask why would you want to try and make it go faster looks dangerous enough at 30 ped.bmp Quote
jasper090 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Oh, so would it need to be upjetted or perhaps a de-resticted exhaust? Well I would like it to go faster because it takes me almost the same time to ride from A to B as it does to cycle! Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 the speed will be inbuilt into the design of it being a pedal up scooter at most you might get another 4 or 5 mph out of it but it would soon blow up and need rebuilding you have just got to accept it is what it is Quote
jasper090 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 oh thats annoying! but surly if its been restricted post manufacture then wouldn't that mean it was designed to go a speed pre-restriction that is faster than the current speed?? Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 wasnt restricted post manufacture would of been designed that way by peugeot Quote
