Riding

At engine speeds below approx-
imately 1800 rpm, the centrifu-
gal clutch opens and the Maxi-
Scooter is idling. If the engine
speed is increased, the clutch
closes and the Maxi-Scooter
drives off.
In the range from approximately
25 mph (40 km/h) to approxi-
mately 75 mph (120 km/h), the
engine operates at almost con-
stant speed in the range of the
maximum torque. The change in
speed is achieved by CVT. This
only slightly changes the engine
noise in this speed range.
Speeds above approximately
75 mph (120 km/h) are achieved
by increasing the engine speed.
