Scooters - 125 to 300 > People s150
indicated speed
people person:
I was wondering if anyone knows what the difference is between indicated speed and true speed on the 150.I know some clever dicks are able to use gps and/or mobile phones to check actual speed but I'm not that clever.I hadn't ridden for a couple of years prior to getting the scooter but 90ks just doesn't seem to be as fast as it used to be.
Iahawk:
most scooters (and motorcycles) tend to indicate a few mph higher than actual speed...my Kymco is about 3 mph fast as is my Honda. My motorcycle is a couple mph fast, too. I don't think there is any absolute number for one model as it seems to slightly differ between vehicles.
If you estimate 3-5 mph you will be pretty close.

The only people who ever worry about this are airplane pilots! The rest of us ground-dwellers just make an educated guess.
