Ok not really, but I'm curious. Am I just way too heavy handed on the throttle or are the HPE motors on newer 300s incredibly torquey in certain situations?

Multiple times on my new '24 GTV I've been going around a corner and the front tire has lifted up briefly, if I roll over a bump or small dip or something like that. It's not uncontrollable, but I can totally tell that the front wheel is lift and I'm like "Whoooooa there you spicy girl!!"

It's probably me. I'm having too much fun on this thing. LOL Scooter emoticon Razz emoticon Laughing emoticon

My '23 GTS also does that. If I take off full throttle or hit a mall bump in the road the scooter does a small wheelie. It became more pronounced as the scooter reached about 10,000 km and the whole performance went up a notch.

I have replaced the rollers with 13 gram Dr.Pulley sliders. Probably helps.

The new 2025 310s have even a tad more torque, making "float time" even easier!
