Hi,
95km/h I am impressed!
I too, made the expirience that it takes training to controll high speed on a
phyton. And nerves. You have to extend your speed range step by step.
I am riding my python on a regular basis, but still on short sprints on level
ground, my limit is controll and nerves, not power.
I have changed the rear sprocket from 21 to 16 teeth on my 20" python some
weeks ago, gaining about 30% in means off unfolding. And again, I need more
practice to be able to fully use the speed range off the bike.
Beside practice and nerves, I think more wheelbase would help for high speed
rides.
Best regards
Gerald

Hi
finally, the myth of high speed limit is gone!! :-D
What Matthias says s that it is a question of getting use to the high
speed. The angles, etc.. don't matter.
