On the malossi I've had to swap the standard 4th for a 36t cog as it struggled to get into the power in 4th (even with 31hp & 23lb/ft)... but the lower revving polini kitted motor can pull the standard 35t 4th no bother at all...

Hi again catmel808, I just read through the posts again and realised that the polini gear ratio on your engine is the longest I have ever seen on any scooter(4.375-1,81.84mph at 7000rpm )is this definitely correct? does it pull ok up hill and two up mate? sounds like a dream engine if ive done my maths right, can you pm the full specs cause this is what i'm looking for.

cheers Jeff
