Those videos were recovered from the LIKE's black box at the bottom of the cliff.
93 is 30 more than a LIKE200I can do on a good day.
Respectfully.....want more MPH buy bigger scooter.
But .....thanks for the amusing .......No Wait....maybe you saw a 50cc LIKE?
50cc guys can and do build rockets....so probably possible!
Still, cheaper to buy bigger scooter.

Dang, you're up early!
I ride at sunrise or a little before.....sitting miles from home having coffee after Burgmanning to my coffee village in Ohio. ....
I'm thinking you might be in the UK because your English is pretty good. .or you're a night nurse in NYC's Bellview Hosp. ?( or you've swiped a nurse's cell phone because you want to do 90 after you're released)
 OK , I am anything but a scooter expert.....so hopefully you will get a response to help your LIKE 200i go faster than its present 57  mph.
But would think that 70 80 or 90 on  a scooter as short and light as a LIKE200I would be pretty scary.
Best regards

What is your current best top speed? My speedo indicated top speed here in the Tucson area is 58 mph. And that's on a nice long stretch of relatively smooth paved road with little or no wind. Based on the ergonomics of the bike, its 245 lb. dry weight and its 12" wheels and tires,  anything over 60 mph IMHO would be tempting fate. I also like the bike but feel very comfortable cruising at 50 mph and occasionally pushing it to 55 which is what it was designed for. If you want to do 93, please think about a bigger scooter with at least a 400cc engine.

Id get a set of drpulleys and an iriduum plug. You might get a quicker and smoother accel.
To get more speed id get a bigger scoot as they said before. The like its a great city bike its not ment to do hwy speeds.

I agree with Beermak the  Dr. Pulley sliders and  iridium plug will give you better and smoother acceleration and a more linear power band.  As for a practical suggestion to help you get a "bit more" top speed, I highly recommend a windscreen. It would create a much smoother path for the air to go around you.  It would be great if you could pick up maybe another 4 to 5 mph on a flat. The scooter is not designed to do more than that, without making it into something it is not. Hope this helps. Try the windshield.

Ok i have been looking at those Dr. Pulleys thinking they might be the go plus a window screen. Im in Australia and most of the roads i drive on are city but every now n then i hit the motorway for 20 min.
Thanks all for the advice you all helped out much appreciated :)
