Default Re: I got a new Whizzer and a bunch of questions

Well I got 10 miles on the odometer and there were less than 2 when I got it so I am riding it but I have to do figure 8ś to keep power up. In a straight line it fades to the point of stalling out? When I turn right or left power picks up and I can cruise at 20 easy, just not in a straight line. I think the gas was a little bad but I got new 89 proof. This must be a gimmick to keep my speed down and not pegged WOT.

I do think I will enjoy this ride as it is a better size for my 240 lbs maybe, but I really enjoy my mountain bikes with performance stuff. This is a dog as to handling geometry but should ride dependably when I figure out how to make it go in a straight line. After traffic dies down I may ride out to your house tomorrow John.
