I saw some Adleys with fat doughnuts that look like street knobbies instead of street tread , plus it had a guard over the headlight .
Many years ago a friend had a Honda moped thas was 90cc , 3 speed manual with auto clutch and full knobbies . It was more fun offroad than on and had way more power than my pedal mopeds by far .
I have taken a Honda Spree offroading like hill climbing but no jumping as I know the suspension would break since its not strong like a motorcross bike . With street tires it was fun to have long spin out in the mud . I got to where I could do a doughnut with out putting a foot down to act as a pivot point . I live a block away from 100 acres of trails that even have a trioval with 12 feet berms we zoomed around on with motorcross bikes like my CR125 .
Does anyone in here go offroading with their scooter ? Is there an offroad friendly scooter out there ?
Again yes I know most will tear up the suspension but I want only to trail ride and not jump hills like when I was a teen and crazy .
I was tempted to get one of those 200cc street and trail bikes since much cheaper than a Honda but I have not heard of Lifan or know how good or bad they are . There roads here are so bad that a dual purpose bike makes since with all the bumps and rough roads here .
I test drove Suzuki 650 with Supeertrapp and other tweaks . I had so much power that it lifted the front wheel at 75 MPH , was a blast but I knew Id be dead soon with it . I was addicted to speed ( not the dope just going too fast ) when I was younger

did it run at all, and did it suddenly go bad?
