Good godfathers!

Well that's you out for a start.

Me too, come to think of it, but for different reasons.

Go to the links in the listing and have a look at the vids. Brilliant.

I've seen video footage of that before... not as fast as you'd think, IIRC.

Having owned one or two (1) standard ones in the distant past, I can confirm
this is a good thing.

What I'm actually on the look out for now, is a 'Replicar Cursor' - ripe for
a Runner 180 / 200 engine conversion, methinks... that is, if I can ever
find one for sale.

I've seen at very close hand a 48V 4 motor C5 when racing the EV's
years ago.

I've also seen what happens to a plastic front rim when stopping said
vehicle from ~50 mph ;-)

We used to use our C5's a pit bikes when at race meetings ... and even
turned McD's in M.K. into a drive through with a bunch of them!

Nahhhh. Scouse values of "safe". You'll be fine.

Don't bother with the 4 stroke, 180 2 stroke is what you want.

So, single type approval(1), bit of extra stowage and that's you for the
Elephant(2)

(1)Or nail it to the side of a SOB
(2) Added bonus of being able to centraly heat the UKRM contingent.

They're fun.

My one is a little bit faster than the standard 180 as WC found out. It
handles, because I've got sticky tyres, a custom made engine mount, and
later type forks, plus it now stops care of a 280mm floating disk with 4
pot caliper. :)
