Some of you may have read my posts about the LT80 I bought for my son's birthday present....
I finally got a bunch of parts in, and it's nearing completion.
I'm kind of worried though. If I turn the throttle limiter all the way in it will barely pull my 100LB wife around the freshly mowed yard. I have to push her, unless she's facing downhill.
When I adjust it so she gets up to a jogging pace it takes a while to get there, then if she heads downhill it will accelerate pretty quick.
I'm having a really hard time finding a happy medium between no-go at all, and 12-15 MPH or so top speed.
This will be my boys first time on a real quad, so I want to keep it as slow as possible, but he has to be able to get it going without being pushed.
Any suggestions?
