Windbreak forest
The road for the riding test is beside a windbreak forest, which is not affected by the weather and wind, the only disadvantage is that the distance is not long enough.
Scooter Model
Kymco Famous 125c.c
Vehicle weight is 110 kg (243 lb)
Load
Additional load is 130kg (286 lb), equivalent to about 20 degrees of climbing or headwind of grade 4~5. Why choose this weight? Because sometimes it takes adversity to better discern whether a horse is good or not.
Tire pressure
Tire pressure will affect acceleration so we need to maintain the tire pressure of 28 psi for all testings to avoid any error due to tire pressure variation.
All test conditions are the same, only the clutch is different.
What to test? And what is the difference ?
Distance
Test the acceleration time needed to reach distance: 402 meter (1/4 mile)
