      Yep. That's been posted here before. The funny thing is you can hear that he has the 2nd gear problem too!

        No second gear problem, just difficult to shift firmly when your leg is tucked up to your butt! Trust me, them boys across the pond know there stuff when it comes to scoots, and are really inovative as you can see!

            I've felt the heat off that engine on my legs... Not sure I'd want it that close to my wedding tackle. maybe the air sucking in threw the carbs keeps them cool

              It's got to be a rush to sit on that thing and goose it.

                I like the hydraulic clutch. For some reason that kind of reminds me of TC on his bike. Course with his instead of making the bike smaller they made the rider bigger .
                I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.
