This was my first reaction too. I just got my new DAX70 cc running and it putts along slowly and quietly like my first bike did. Let the bike idle/warm up for a while before you ride.
Plus check the throttle cable adjuster on top of the cap. make sure it's not all the way in.
Good luck
Well...could you tells us whats going on? what happens when you get to 20mph? does it bog down? does it knock or kick? does it feel like the clutch is slipping? does it whistle??
maybe if we knew what some of the reactions are then we would be able to tackle a specific part of the problem
