Crazy, LOL!

BTW, time ago I saw Peugeot was working on a little turbo powered scooter (a "real" scooter, you know, like Vespa, Phantom and so on) ... but I fear the project stopped...

Imagine if it didnt. Can you imagine modding a scooter and racing it. Think of the speeds. But it would be so dangerous, people have a hard time controlling fast cars who race, them behined turbo'd scooters trying to race would be terrible

Here little 50cc scooters are pretty common:


this one is exatcly the same as I had years ago, with the same racing muffler:

They can be pretty fast.. I fully modified mine: sport suspensions, completely new racing engine, up to 80cc, new electronic management, new transmission and so on.. it wasn't all that fast: 100 km/h (62 mph), but here the limit for those scooter are fixed at 45 km/h by the law LOL (28 mph)... but the acceleration was a blast and at the stop lights, there wasn't competition for my little Phantom, really even cars had problems with it in the 0-50 km/h... and it was realiable: I did more than 10'000 with tha racing engine I think...
