Twist grip gear change

[madron]

Madron did the scooter gear have positions for gears or was it straight up down? Think with using it you have answered my question anyway cos it must have worked

If you have a name or number it may be helpful, we haven't started nothing yet but knowing there is a contact is always useful

hi yes it clicked into each gear when clutch lever pulled in  and stayed there but it took some fiddling too get it to work properly as i remember
will see if the guy still doin scooter stuff and try and get a number for you

Just been having a look at the scooter ones and it is different operation to what I was thinking of, the Lambretta ones use rods and linkages rather than cables. Will have a closer look before deciding I think.

One of the early Puch mopeds (the ones that look like a bike and not a scooter ) has the twist grip gear change I had one about 25 years ago and was real fun learning to use the twist after foot change...not sure of the model but they are Yellow & chrome bikes...hope this is of some use?...Voodoo....

Puch Maxi (rode one to destruction over Beckton Dumps when I was a kid, everyday we rode it and it took a whole six week holidays to destroy the bugger)

On a scooter change is the twist grip locked until the clutch is pulled in? Just imagining it changing gear turning into bends by mistake.

I have downloaded a scooter manual so can see how they work now. Clever buggers weren't hey

Cabby has reminded me of suicide shift as an option as well now. Think we will get Shane on the bike and see what would have to go where.
