UK here 2016 super 8 2t 50cc pulls well till about just over 20 then struggles over 25mph...how can I get 35ish with basic deristriction and what parts I need... New to scooters so be gentle. Last bike a zx9r which was 180mph so dipping my toe here. My daughter gonna be using for college so don't wanna go mental would appreciate part numbers and where to get.

Sorry Hank. After the 2T model was discontinued after 2103, there has been really no discussion on any for sure way of derestricting the Super 8's. If its a 4t, then I think the derestriction will involve the CDI and replacing the shouldered boss/washer with a smooth one.

Possibly this kit

I would not invest in a new exhaust or big bore kit unless you can get to 37 MPH with CDI/Boss derestriction first; and even then, since its not a 2T, a new exhaust or bigbore may not help it much.
