      Hi George, I didn't change anything, I think the shop owner just cut the wire from the cdi module, so it's not electronicly limited :)

      I have had two chinese scooters and one chinese bike and I can say that whilst I loved them very much you should definitely not buy one. They are very cheap, and parts are cheap yes, but you get what you pay for. The quality is poor, the speed is slow and sluggish and they break so often for little annoying things like water leak into the electrical system or blockage in cheap carburettor etc. The handling is terrible and whilst I loved riding them I just never trusted any of my chinese bikes. Buy a used japanese brand and the peace of mind is far greater.

      Hello, thank you for your compliment!
      I have sold the scooter last year because I had to get some money to fix my car haha.
      The scooter drove pretty ok, Ive had it for 1200km. But what you pay is what you get. If I had to choose for this scooter or a 2nd hand other brand I would go for a 2nd hand 4stroke with max 10000km or a 2nd hand yamaha neos 2 stroke with max 12000km and max 6 years old. The yamaha neos drives better and I had one that had 18000km on the clock and everything was still pretty good. You could get those for 400-800 euros, cheaper then a retro for 1000-1200 euros and in my opninion more reliable and drives fantastic!

      @@jejtz You`re welcome, I think I sold mine for about 500 or 600 euro`s I believe, It`s been a while ago haha.
      If you can find one for a price like that and almost new it can be a little fun to have. It`s like a watch you win at the fair, it works, but not worth a 100 euros.
      A scooter I bought later was a kymco super 8 from 2014, also sold it because I didnt drive it alot. Maybe you can take a look at some Kymco scooters, they do make some noises (like cracking plastic sometimes) but they dont break down. Seem to be good at price and quality. Or buy a second hand Yamaha Neo`s, those drive awesome, 2 stroke don`t even break down that easaly.

      Hey there! Yes, I am 1.81m tall and I have enough room so sit in a decent way :). So 1.90 should nog be a problem. I did sell the scooter already tho, I wanted to test this scooter. It did drive quite ok, but it was less then I expected.
