My day at PIT Motors LTD and the CCW Tha Heist

Must be running a 420 chain on the Heist instead of the 520 on the DF to get a 15 tooth on the 167FMM engine.

Motorcycle Sprocket Ratio Calculator

I like the one Aboshi suggested since it considers the tire size and does an approximate speed calculation assuming the engine has the power.

Thats not competition at all lol, that thing is a toy especially at 149cc and $4,300.
For $4,300 you can get something much better.

i found them a bit back, my 3yr old wants the pink one. Not really competition, but another brand. An expensive brand but totally different class

The CA scooter looks like the old Cushman Eagle.

I was yoking

, but they look kinda cool, especially as compared to the numerous standard and retro scooters. Interestingly, they seem to have the upright 150cc engines vs. the standard GY-6 engines found on the standard scoots.

The word scooter can be what ever you want it to be? I guess. I would think it has to be an automatic to be a scooter and if it gets an auto shift then it becomes a CUB…but that’s just me.

I would say those CA models are above a mini bike and below a full sized bike the only thing that they have that could remotely categorize them as a scooter is the wheel size at 13”
