thanks once again, sir, actually i need the answers of the following
in reference to ape 401

Gear ratios

- Final drive ratio (ie chain drive ratio)

- Expected vehicle top speed

- Power and torque curve of existing engine

- Vehicle weight (inertial class)

engine power in horse power (h.p)

engine power in kilowatt (K.W)


it means my questions are mostly engine related, if u can arrange translation of the engine specification portion, it would be great help for me

Anwar: Most of what I have on my website relates to the P501AR and P501/P601 series so you'll have to rely on other members for assistance (you'll find them very helpful) - I've just received a contact from UK of a P401 175cc and have asked if he has any Manuals on his machine. Will advise. Go to my website and send an email to me, I have a question for you - There are Manuals available for purchase in France if you Google - Piaggio P401 Manuals - In the meantime I'll see what I can find. P.S. - 60kph is top speed, anything more is downhill and dangerous! - Ken
