Buy a bigger capacity / faster scoot - can only think they would raise the rev limit - but surely the variator / pulley spring arangement would get there first?
Im sure your reliability / fuel economy would take a hit...

Well they work for cars, so why not for modern 4T scoots? I doubt you'd get more than 10% extra oomph overall, but the initial pick-up could be a bit livelier.

There ain't no bigger Vespa than the 300 at present, so Vespa fans are limited. I'd be surprised if a Master would fit, and I have not seen a mention of a Vespa 350 yet (unless I missed it?)

But i reckon its better than an Xmax 250,even if vespa,s are limited,

and yes performance chips do work in cars bro had a two litre citroen diesel picasso chipped
made hell of a difference,
i didnt know they were available for bikes ,
