Hi everyone,
My name is Mike and I’m new to scooters and hoping to learn a lot from this scooter community. I’m a veteran motorcycle owner/enthusiast/modifier but I’m a bit lost when it comes to scooters. I lost my father a few months back and inherited his United motors xpeed 50r. I’m hoping to mod it just a little bit for speed but keep it reliable. I’ll post more about that in the appropriate forum. So far I’ve managed to unrestrict it but I’m looking for more, aren’t we all!

Mike

Thanks. Yeah I’m not too good at them. I can ride 2nd gear out till redline but it’s always a chasing wheelie. I’m too chicken to find the balance point!
