Title: first Top Speed test of Piaggio Liberty 150i
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on September 03, 2018, 11:59:16 AM: ....carrying a bigdam drogue chute of a rider.
Test Conditions flying 4 mile:
6:14 am EST, 69Â°F, 94% humidity, $63.35 in pocket, BP premo in tank, Iridium NGK, 2,777 miles on a 3V 155cc engine.

Indicated: 66mph

Speedo seems to be @8-10% optometrist.😊
Math not being my strong suit --- I think that works out to be about 112MPH.

I tossed the 35 cents into a corn field hoping for 115mph.
It was still pulling when I ripped through town. (25mph speed limit here....thank goodness it's Labor Day)

Haven't pushed the LIKE beyond 55mph, except for 4 yrs ago trying to clear a fault, which turned out to be just a failing TPS.(which had no effect on starts, idle or top speed) Saw 62mph at WOT at that time.
Biggest difference is the stability of a big wheel scooter at those speeds. Like on rails.
