DB125T-E Tommy Scooter 125cc

Alreet mate could you tell me if there is any logical reason why at various times my Tommy Scooter has no power at all then if i bump my arse on seat the power comes on it not battery as it is full charged many thanks

Amazing Havana custom Alive.
It's a great bike and the braided hoses and great headlight design make it a real winner. I saw one of these on Direct bikes and it was very popular because it weighs 135kg and will carry my extra weight I put on.
Very well priced at I think 1100£ on tje road and delivery, but I don't know because it states delivery is 100 but does not mention the on the road registration fee.

It surly looks like the Havana Custom of 13 years ago I use to see in Ride and Bike magazine for 2200£ That must be over 3300£ with inflation think honda or Gilara made it.

But bikes are cheaper and this is better today rather than seeing the minimum of the price of a 1w5 at 3300£, for a Yamaha SR cruiser, or a LX scooter, general they was standerdised at 3600 for a Suzuki GN 125, the TW 125 was more at 4k. The Honda Shadow was easily £5100, And the dragster XVS 125 was 4800£.

Honda Clr City Fly £4400. And the racer Hinda NSR 125 £6500 it use to be in Hinda Chiswick on display. Only Lifan made bikes from China in the UK, and there cheapest for 1970s replocas was bikes like the dispatch at what would be seen today as a whopping £2000.

This all ended in 2003 when suzuki said they was not going to make a geared motorbike the same price as a scooter at the standard £36000 mark and relase the Suzuki GN 125 at 1400£ Reduction with LC frame numberd bikes at 2200.

And was the cheapest mainstream manufactured 12t ever. and was best seller for a while. Only the Honda CG 125 at maybe 2800 was cheaper all the rest was the cheapest of £3300. most was the standard price of 3600. and like I said even more with the old 250cc exspamsion stand rare 300cc expansions ridden as learner bikes you derestricted when you past your test.
They don't make these anymore because you can't take your test on a 125 any more unless you wanted a A1 licence to o ly ride a 125 bike.

In the olden days up to three four years ago you had a choose of a restricted access course test. and after 2 years your licence let you ride any size bike you wanted after 2 years of riding your unrestricted 125 train you on a 88 mph top speed 70mph average speed 250cc.

Rare though 300cc expansions I not seen one since the end of 2002 it was called the Honda VT shadow 125. But I read in January's edition of the MCN motorcycle news the new years price changes from Ducats and Honda Triumph ect. and that was the price was to fall on the VT shadow. and i remember they dropped the price further in the second half of 2003, so it was just a 250 by the second half and not a 300cc. about 10mph fast than a 250 maybe titch 100mph on a good day could stay at 80 all day in other words as it's average speed is really it's top speed as nothing van cruise at its top speed for long. it just makes the average speed up
Example you will find a scooter on a long ride has a speed of 58 and 62 and that's a average of 60mph.mand reaches a top speed for 1 second of 73mph to male the average to 60 instead 5mph

Got no hope from a geared 125 bike though since the health and safty officers had a look at it in 1983. And restricted geared 125 bikes down to 45 mph over distance average speed with a split second 56mph top speed to make up the average speed to 45mph.
You may attempt engine ware by slipping down to forth and slightly thrashing the engine to attempt 5mph in the red zone. but more like 49mph. but the racket the engine noise make pits you off.

This was because scooters was designed to have leg gaurds to protect the riders legs in accident. where the heard bikes was not so good at this.

Leg gaurds in the way that the engine is at the back of the bike and not under the riders legs.

And this prevents the legs of the rider being trapped under the bike if you miss judge a bend and take it at more than 19mph and choose suiside 35mph.
When the bike over ballance because you miss judged how unstraight the bend in the road was. the bike is at a angle. and fall flat down very quickly. and as it falls, it is prone to trapping g the riders leg under the weight as it carry on , on its side sliding down the road.

Scooters was purposely designed for this in the late 19i0s but to years to fade them in as standard because they did not want to controdict the original refinery. and bring to much change in overnight without conditioning the environment first to bring in the new change. slowly and surly.

This was the same with the helmet it was faded in over time for threat it would create a false sen e of confidence for people to go out and buy motorbikes thinking it was now safer to do this .

Belive me when they made the helmet complsery law in 1973, and when they tested riders with them before hand. they only finally made it law when they said they was not waring a helmet. This is correct because it was a proven fact that people that died previously to 197ps change that had head injuries because they was not waring a motorbike crash helmet. Infact never died because they was not waring a helmet the evidence was conclusive they died of motorbike related insidences.

The helmet was only made law when a old health and safty act had elapsed and expired and was replaced and updated automatically on the day to bring motorbiking inline with the health and safty act. that was always the same. you canot controdict history.
Thing was always the same, always will be nothing changes ever.
It would be a nany state , and motorbikes would be like the MP3 scooter but with two rear wheel slightly sticking out the back as well as the front with a little roof and a screen. and this would not make motorbiking g what it was intended to be. and this is passive. for passive road use only of 3000 miles a year.
Cars are non passive and are designed for enjoy the full benefits of what the road has to offer of 12000 miles a year.

you canot exceed the millage of more than 3000 miles a year on a motorbike. because that would denouced that it was a passive form of road use, and that it was mainstream. this is non conformisted.
Motorbikes are designed for people that don't want to go out much, but want to keep in tuch with the open road.
Motorbikes cost excally half that of a car around £6800.
Because making metal lighter cost so much to do as its a luxury to own light weight because it's convinient as a good portable item. the motorbike is unable to have any benefits in extra fuel mpg.

When you buy a motorbike you pay for 6000 miles because it was half the price of a standard car. but you trade the other 3000 miles to filter through the traffic instead because it's passive road use only and much safer to filter than to exstend miles that are not cover by the health and safty act.
So the obvious revelation you was going to get and mile per mile it cost the same price to use a motorbikes as it does a car and that is a well known fact.

I must add that the Hanana Custom replica you have is the finest of examples of this a me bike I have seen and they is four versions made by different manufacturers because it's a classic clone. I noticed the direct bikes version gives the correct power to weight rasio for this bike of 135kg. The Lexmoto version weighs in at 42kg less and over two hundred pounds more exspensive making it a risky investment in the fact it costs so much money to make metal lighter because it's more convinient for some riders.

But the correct weight of a 125 scooter is around 140 to 145kgs in order to carry the passenger correctly, and stop the suspension busting , and the chassis cracks at the joint welds, the tyres shredding premiturly, and the brake pads waring down in order to stop the heavy weight on the bike that is not suported by the bikes power to weight rasio because the bike is to light for its build and canot tske the extra strin
