Confession: I lied (a little)

[Gliderman8]

I drove my ‘63 Lambretta to the coffee shop a few minutes ago. The coffee shop is in a shopping plaza. When I got there I turned off the engine and walked it onto the sidewalk.
within 5 mins a truck pulled up from the management company that runs the shopping center. A very agitated guy in the truck told me to “move that motorcycle off the sidewalk”. When I told him it was an e-bike he said “OK, as long as it’s a bicycle you can leave it”
I feel terrible

Boy those vintage e-bikes sure sound much sweeter than modern ones!

I got lucky since the guy driving the truck was a 30 something.

Not an exhaust.... it lets out the excess volts

I've had it up to 60mph so I'm not far off but it scares the you know what out of me on those small tires.

Stumbled on this today and it reminded me of you.

Probably the only way to get that speed is to drop it out of a plane.

175cc. It will do it. But you’re right, gravity helps
