The temp finally was decent and the roads were 90% dry so off i went last nite and tonite for a proper test/shake down ride...put on more than 20 miles and cruises effortlessly at 25mph and topped out at 32mph(Gps) with the 1" roller and a 300lb rider. The bike is perfect and feels great at any speed. I just pedal a few rounds on take off to help preserve the roller and tire but it will go from a standing start even with me on it...would probably do 40+ with a normal sized rider and could then also up the roller size for some real speed...but its good for me and i might try 1 size smaller roller for testing purposes as it got faster with me riding it when i changed down from the 1.25 roller.

Well, that's pretty.......slick. Looks good, couldn't be simpler.
Is that their basic, simple simon mount kit?
 
Oh...and it is the Mitsi 43cc...never for a second thought it would do that kind of speed and remember it only has 25-30 miles and still running the oil a little rich.
 
that would feel like flying to me !!!

never for a second thought it would do that kind of speed

yes -- that's some good high end speed going on with that MB thing there !!!

that's why I asked about the cc

wow -- that would feel like flying to me -- I am used to my 22.5 mph Robin friction

if your engine is new -- take it easy for a while -- nice break in is (((good THING)))

as you ride that MB thing

Slick.

25mph...engine speed is 9500rpm.

32mph...engine speed is over 12,000rpm.

40mph...engine speed is over 15000rpm.

BTW, engine redline of a broken-in Mitsubishi engine is 8900rpm.
