Now that is kind of intriguing. It's the poor mans T-Rex. That would be great if I lived in a city and wasn't worried about traveling regularly over 45 mph or so.

I know it looks way cooler than it really is, lol.

I think it looks kinda cool. The site says it will do 80MPH which is comparable to our bikes.

It only pulls 16.6hp max....how exactly can it reach 80mph with only 16hp . It only has a 2 gallon tank too. Definitely looks sweet though, I'd love to roll up to a group ride in that .

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.

There aint no way that thing will come anywhere close to 80mph. Id be surprised if it would hit 65 on a downhill straight.

That would be fun to see going down the highway at 80mph...

It would hit 80 before it blew up if you drove it off a cliff.

I meant the fake trex...not the scooter.

My friend has a Vespa Gran Turismo scooter that is capable of going well over 80mph. She's ridden it on quite a few long distance interstate road trips. It is kinda funny to watch.

It looks kind of cool. But 80 Mph???!! It doesn't look like it even has a windshield. It looks like it would have alot of drag and the roof looks like it would add even more drag. I can't imagine that they really got it up to 80 mph.
