BMS Federal 50CC Wont Accelerate
I have a 2013 BMS Federal 49cc scooter that I bought new/never used about a month ago. I gave it an oil changed after about 200 miles and it has been running great. There's now about 800 miles on it and when driving it the other day I hit a bump in the road and the scooter started to rapidly decelerate from around 30MPH to 10MPH. Now even when I am full throttle I cannot get it to go above 10MPH.
Any ideas what could be the cause of this? I don't even know where to begin!
Your help is VERY much appreciated!

Saw that coming from a mile away!BeefSupreme wrote: But for the record, your problem is it's a BMS.
Any who, + 1 for scootdawg, I'm on there too.
My Sym built tomos nitro had a similar problem, like beef said, mine was a loose connection, at the coil. Even if it look connected it might not be connected well. So check, dielectric grease as many as you can.

Disposable Chinese bikes!
