Hey. I was amazed as you are going to be, if not more amazed. I couldnt believe it myself when I saw it. My friend has a super modded go-ped, and I know how fast they are. It kept up with his Suzuki Lt-250 all until about 50mph. That goped has a "light switch" style power band, even cooler and a banshee. So finally here is the link for the video. Its not that great of quality, but it clearly shows a go-ped beating a trans am in a drag race.

You will poop your pants while laughing and amazed all at the same time, believe me.

Yeah! Those things max out at like 16500 rpm STOCK. I WISH I still had the video of a guy who put NOS on his go-ped and hit 70, the motor seazed up and locked the rear tire up. Needless to say he went over the bars and skidded on the pavement for about 75 feet. That was quite possibly the coolest movie I have ever seen. I have never heard a motor more wound out than that one. The motor just has a spindle hooked up to the shaft that touches down on the rear tire to make it go, so when the motor seazes, bad things happen.

any high performance go-ped usually uses a solid rubber tire. Atleast my friends has a solid tire.

Yeah the sport go-peds have solid rubber tires and the go-ped in the video is a sport. Go-ped does make a big foot that has a tire that is air inflated and is more for offroad but that wasnt a big foot
