This thing is awesome!
5 months of pain waiting for a stoopid ship to unstick its self from a canal. really smooth and quiet.
Brilliant build quality and bordering heavy duty, put some decent rear gas shocks on, £120 from our far eastern colleagues:))

Great things come to those who wait :D I’d be interested to see what your top speed is once it’s broken in a bit

Nice one 👍

Ha ha postie, bring it on!


Hmm top speed, so after multiple calculations on pen n paper ( and u tube) its 56 with the standard sprocket set up. Believe the cub has smaller rear/ larger front.
It will take off in 3 rd with ease so guessing easily 60 will be achieved with change. love that
lED headlight, im wondering if the C90 used the same sprockets. :?:
