  • In spite of common myth, scooters are not slow by design, unless they are also speed-restricted mopeds. The world speed record for scooters is thought to be held by Marlene Parker of England who in 1965 ran her 200cc Lambretta at over 130mph on a racetrack at Monza, though it was deemed an unofficial time [see Dregni & Dregni, p. 152]. It is very common now for Vespa and Lambretta scooters to exceed 100mph on racetracks. Many scooters without modification will go over 70mph and speed varies widely depending on various aspects like engine size, exhaust flow, gear ratios, etc. The fastest current production scooter as of July 1999 would be the Gilera Runner 180, which creates 21hp and 85mph, totally stock. Many of the more popular 50cc scooters in Europe have commonly available racing kits that allow them to go much faster. A good example is the Italjet Dragster, which will reach 80mph after kitting. http://www.scooterfaq.com/index.html#3.1
  • 50cc scoots generally top out around 30mph. 150cc scoots can touch 65mph on a good day. Above 150cc is the maxi-scooter territory where the Piaggio Gilera GP 800 can break 120mph in stocl configuration. The GP800 mounts an 850cc V-twin engine.
  • I have just sold a 50cc Piaggio. It would do 35mph uphill, 50mph on the flat and 60mph downhill.
  • I have a friend with a LX 150 and I know it does at least 70mph because I have followed her
  • Scooters are funny. Once I followed this big dude on a scooter with fur on his seat & a studded leather jacket. It was a dangerous situation as I was laughing so hard !
  • My 150cc scooter will average 55mph - sometimes faster on a level street or with the help of gravity going down hill. Going uphill - about 45. The speedometer goes to 80.
  • about 40 - 50 mph for the typical 50cc scooter
  • Depends on the size and CC. For high speed scooters try these http://www.nobelmobility.com/index.php?cPath=5_6 Note that you need a permit to use those. But if you want those that require no permit, these ones are better. http://www.nobelmobility.com/index.php?cPath=5_15 they are 50cc 4 stroke
