Hello,
I just spent an hour exchanging rollers and testing to see which rollers worked best with my scoot.
As you can see, the rollers I had came in weights of 3g-8g in sets of three. A combination of top speed with the best acceleration is my goal.
1) The first set I tried was 3x3g and 3x4g (~3.5g). The high revs were incredibly sickening... It only went 20mph so that wouldn't do.
2) The next set was 3x4g and 3x6g (~5g). The revs were still too high and the scoot topped out at a measly 32mph.
3) The next set was 3x5g and 3x7g (~6g). I was expecting the best performance from this combination, but alas, it would only cruise at 38 mph and was still over revving.
4) The next set was 3x6g and 3x8g (~7g). From a stop it had good acceleration. It had a wonderful top speed of +40mph. When accelerating from 20 mph, the acceleration from 20 to 30 mph was incredilbly slow- but this never happened from a stopped start.
5) Finally I settled on 3x6g and 3x7g (~6.5g). I suspect that these may be near the same weight combo that the stock rollers were. Except the acceleration from a stop or from 20mph was just as good. Top mph was +40 (my speedo only goes to 40).
What roller combos worked best for you guys?
What is the weight of your stock rollers?
