Thats bs, no way that scooter pulls 11's. I had a motorcycle that ran high 10's and that scooter is no where near that.

I can't watch it but I'm pretty sure I've seen it before. The dude on the scooter is flipping the bird a bird while purging his bottle? If so, It's a funny ass video for sure but I agree that its probaly not doing 11's either.

Yep thats the vid, and yes the scooter is fast but not that fast.

yes thats the same one. could you imagine how it would feel like if you hit a pot hole or a speed bump.

Woah...did I see some mods I'd like to do to my weedwacker? Dual Plugs...upgraded reed valve. DAMN! Now where can we apply for the dual glow plug Nitro head?

I agree that that scooter can't do 11s. THe only way I see it even near possible is putting some sort of gear box on it.
 
Heres another link for those like me who couldn't get it to work.

Anyways, ya those scooters are fast but wouldn't want to ride one with juice on it lol I love speed but perfer something with metal around me:LoL:
 
i don't know guys....i used to be a pit official for CART and some of the drivers had those things. they would do all kinds of crazy mods and race em down pit lane. i saw the one Max Papis had and it had a tiny little TURBO on it. they custom built a turbo with a little solenoid-operated clutch on it so he could hit a button and a battery would engage the turbo. we clocked him with the pit radar at 86 MPH...and that's no BS. i was there. 11's...probably not...but it might get kinda close...

I'm not saying it's not fast but the video is bs, and 86 mph is fast but not even close to an 11 second run.
 
yeah i don't think it would be 11's. they were running on about a 1/4 mile, though. what does 86 MPH translate to in 1/4 mile times?
 
The thing is crazy fast for what it is but a 1/4 mile 11sec run = way more than even 90MPH terminal velocity.

The vehicle is accelerating and would be over 125MPH at this point,no way that skinny skeleton standing on this weedwhacker was doing anything close to 120MPH.

Exactly! On a motorcycle if you don't keep your head and body tucked correctly you will be in trouble, I know your not going to just stand up at those speeds.
