lesf Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 All you have to do is tie your left leg to the seat so you only have use of your right foot - Gas or Brake -simple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow243 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 the MPG varies ie city is 12 to 15 a roads speed 40 to 50mph 25mpg to 32mpg as i said if you are heavy with your foot it will be less i just let it build up speed as it gives better fuel economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
