>> No it didn't, silly boy, not with the 49cc engine.
I forgot to mention it had a 65cc barrel and piston conversion, along with a racing rotary disc valve, rejetted carb, and one or two other tweaks here and there. It was the most unreliable POS going though, and although it had plenty of speed, it had no torque. Put a hill in front of it and it was down to 2nd gear and 25 mph if you were lucky. Changing into 3rd just bogged down the engine. It also only did approx. 30 mpg. As you can imagine with a small fuel tank, it was totally impractical other than to have short journeyed fun on it.

>> one was to change sprockets,
That's what the previous owner had done with the restricted one I had. He changed the front sprocket from a 12 tooth cog to 16. It was slightly down on acceleration, but had more torque than the unrestricted Fizzy so seemed to cope quite well. It also did approx. 100 mpg.
