it is approx. 40cm longer than my jinlun, so hopefully it will be comfortable. I am 6.4"
Tell me, does it have a rev counter? My jinlun did, was pretty neat but slow, 50cc is way too under powered when you weight 15 stone!

pity about the rev counter, then again, it was just for show on the 50cc.
What speed do you get on a straight long road?
EOS30D , good piece of kit

it goes up to 50mph
I've done 70mph down a very steep hill - I don't recommend it, it's very stable at normal speeds, 70mph it felt like I'm about to leave my engine and other bits behind

when it comes to climbs - 30mph max

There are so many variations on the alien and they all look cool. IMHO one of the best looking scooters on the road, and also (my opinion) the only scooter that looks like a sportbike from a dead on front view.

Tony, Have you had to do much 'mechanical work' or just the norm things, spark plug and oil change etc. How did you run yours in? Have just built a shed for it to go in when it gets here, will have to get my tools dusted off!! Icon_lol4

hobbes22 · Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 7:52 pm Post subject:
