Is it illegal to go over 30 mph downhill?

[ts1]

You asked a question which makes little sense as all restricted scoots i know of will go slightly faster than the restriction downhill

The question makes sense to me, as I know scoots going considerably faster downhill.
- A restriction with limited stroke of the throttle cable (or engine power in general) is nearly ineffective downhill.
- Stop on the top (clutch opens) and roll down without throttle.
But I don't know his local law. In Germany the governmental restricted speed is measured in flat terrain and thus not applicable while riding downhill.

imho.....the overwhelming majority of cops wouldn't waste their time to stop and card a scooter.....parking ticket maybe yea.......of course states differ re rules.....riding safe entails following local traffic regulations.......regardless of how big or small your engine is.......

From the title of the thread and the question posed at the beginning i took it that he was worried he may get fined for riding over the prescribed speed allowed for a restricted 50cc moped, hence my 1st answer not to worry. Like Blue i was making light of it but JCuc didnt seem to approve and made a smart comment re intelligence or lack of which was uncalled for.IMO.

 Since JCuc has an A50 i assume he is asking his question with regard to that scoot which i also have and it only goes a couple of mph over the restricted speed downhill, since its restricted on the variator, so makes very little difference to the top speed or any laws. Most laws are based on bhp but if its based on speed i would guess they took any short downhill gain over 30mph into account when they set the laws or they simply dont see it as an issue. I expect if groups of 50cc bikers began hanging around steep hills then the authorities would do something about it.
 
In any case there was no need to put anyone down or be a dick about it which is how i read his replies to comments made,Manners cost nothing. All that was required was for him to better explain what exactly he wanted to know if the answers given were wrong.

Hung myself? Nah, I have more important things to do other than arguing with two uneducated fools who can't understand a one part poised question or provide an answer that is even related to the topic at hand.

LMAO  Hilarious.

Im off to the hills for a ride, im going to go way over 30mph down hills because the lawbooks i read said i was only restricted to 30mph on :level ground so i can go 120mph downhill and the cops cant touch me  . After lunch i plan on removing all speed regulators but detuning so i am derestricted but my scoot still cant go over 30mph (apart from up or downhill), thats the way to go, i'll show them for laughing at me.
