Why is it 1 N 2 3 4 5 ?

My 1972 Fizzy had pedals when I had it in 1973/74.


1st gear was really low. I think it would only go up to about 6 mph before needing to change into second.

That was handy when my clutch cable snapped though as I could just paddle it forward to get it rolling, crash it into 1st gear & then ride it OK without a clutch for a couple of months until I could afford a new cable.


I borrowed my mate's almost brand new Honda SS50 one day, screwed the knackers off it in 2nd gear & pressed the gear lever down to go into third as it would have done on my Fizzy, but it obviously went into first & it really screamed with the pain :oops: .

It took ages of rocking the bike backward & forward with the clutch out before I could get it into neutral again.
