Title: rolling start
Post by: orepicker on April 13, 2012, 03:35:20 AM

Can you roll start a scooter with a cvt drive, like a standard clutch system? I've never tried it. It seems it might be like trying to roll start a car with an automatic tranny. Since the People 250 has no kick starter you're sorta screwed if the battery is dead. I got caught by surprise once when the battery died w/out warning.

Tried it once when my battery died. No luck. Just goes on free wheeling.

can not work. Just the physics of the set up. If you ever Jump start be SURE the vehicle jumping you is NOT running, and attach the Positive first, and ground to the frame not the battery.
