if you remove the W/S (bout 2 mins), your ride will be much smoother!!---the w/s creates air turbulance behind it, However it doesnt look as good without the W/S!!----WISH this thing had 5mph more!----mine does gps 62mph---NOT broken in yet. has 1200 miles---needs 3-4K miles----hoping for 65mph when i get to3K plus. i suppose you know this scoot has only 163cc(NOT a true 200)---my B $ W 150 had 152cc and was just as fast.---nice riding scoot .
