Default Re: performance and ride?

Hi,

They haven't nailed me cause they haven't been able to catch me! ;-)

Truthfully I should probably look into the letter of the law but as far as I know less than 50 CC and maybe no tranny is legal.....Not sure about speed limits (other than not breaking them....which with stock gearing would wind out the engine anyways so I wouldn't do it then....BUT with a NuVinci or my current 36T I can break the 25 MPH residential limit if I wanted to! (so far the fastest I have been with the bike is 34.4 MPH....RPM limited....I didn't to wind it out any more....I think with steeper gearing I could go faster without fear of blowing the lil 70.

I think somebody may have posted the VA laws but I may look into them later just for fun.....

Andrew

P.S. - I did have a policeman comment that the pipe (tuned pipe) was a nice touch when I walked the bike on the downtown mall (police on the downtown mall patrol the mall area via bike).
