Latest discovery is that there is a very harsh speed limiter which effectively cuts out the engine at 50 mph. This is apparently a Euro 5 thing and not a rev. limiter. I'll know more when I have changed the gearing and installed a rev counter but in the present state I regard this as dangerous in any dual carriageway situation with following traffic and busy lanes. Its got to be fixed!

I’d be a bit sceptical about it being a euro 5 thing because my Euro 5 125cc bike is not similarly effected, neither am I aware of any of my friends Euro 5 compliant 125cc bikes being affected.

Happy if anyone can correct me otherwise though.

Maybe is it’s a limiter to restrict (sorry) the possibility of engine breakage through continuous high speed running. It is what it is in fairness.

I never had a Monkey ... I would love one now. But alas it'll never happen. The Cub is too much for my knees and hips so I guess the Monkey would be even worse.

The Grom is probably the best one to try for size. I found it to be very comfortable and easy to handle.

Try something with more forward controls RE Meteor & lower seat height easier on hips for leg over low down weight or a proper flat floor under one such as a Honda Vision

Lots of SH examples to test ride

I found the riding position and the seat more comfortable on the first generation Grom than our 2nd gen Grom, even with a modified seat (step removed),but the new monkey seat is super plush.
This current Grom looks very similar seat wise to the gen1 OG from.

Ah, thanks for the tip .... worth a look!

I have a Bullit Heritage 50, a rebadged Skymax.
Started off as E4, now running carb and a 72cc kit having removed all the EFI electronics, as I have no faith in their longevity!
Struggled to do 20mph when I bought it, but, I am a lard ass, now sits at 40 on the flat.
Briefly fitted a YX125 big valve motor, had tons of low down grunt, but didn't like being revved.
Couldn't afford a Cub 50 at the time, and always wanted a Dax having had Monkeys, Chalys and other minibikes before.
I wouldn't recommend the E4/5 versions, and in hindsight, should have bought a carb version.
