Pretty much new to scooters but learning pretty fast and wanting a second scooter. I almost pulled the trigger on a mc-d12 150cc with 16 inch wheels ,duel disk breaks,looks really nice. top speed of about 55 or so like the rest of the 150cc and a hp rateing of 9.4 hp . Then i came accross a scoot called a "slimer" its on saferholesaler" The stats on this scoot sound crazy and hard to believe.
First the hp says 12 hp instead of 9... then the speed claims 68 mph not 50ish,and this is a 4 stroke!! Then i noticen the DRY AUTO ACENTRIC TRANNY" what do they even mean by this. I even called the company back twice to get two different peoples answers and neither one knew,they just said it was a fancy way of saying it was automatic,
then when i said"so its the same exact as a cvt" they said honestly,they didnt know and two call back tommorow and maybe someone eles could anwser me better,
go figure,and im going to order a scooter from these guys, i must be nuts!!
Anyway this "slimer" scoot really is ugly as crap and only avalible in nija turtle green,but like i said "68mph" i guess that really shouldnt be the most important thing on my mind,but damm,thats all i keep thinking about, someone please help me out :sos: .I should also point out it dosent even have the 16inch wheels im looking for nor the duel disk breaks i really want,so what the hell am i driving my self crazy for 10mph for!!

acentric [eɪˈsɛntrɪk] adj 1. without a centre
Its another way of saying 'Continuously Variable' (CVT)......like in broken Chinese 'Engrish'...a helmet is a 'Cap'.
I have also learned that speed claims are like assembly claims on crated scooters..'99% assembled!' and 'front wheel and handlebars only!' and 'free PDI!' etc etc.... thats all bullshit. There is lots more to it than that....for it to be correct and last.
