My 250cc Chinese was also advertise to have 80 mph capability, only the suspension was too poor to travel at speeds above 55 mph safely, I never really tried sustaining speed above 65 mph.



Since MAR 2008, I've put over 10,600 mi. on the scooter.. other than a couple of flat tires and blown fuses, it's been pretty reliable and easy to work on.

Probably with the low profile of the trike might help it obtain 80 mph speed, but I wouldn't sustain that speed for any period of time, unless traveling downhill.
