That was great!
Some guy at my school had one of those and let me ride it. He told me to be careful because he had a built motor. I thought to myself how much can you build a goped? It was fun, but kind of slow. I hit a long straight away and decided to open it up all the way. It starts to speed up. The revs get higher, higher, then BOOM!, all of a sudden it hits the power band, the torque lifted the front end vertical (I was standing on the very front) and threw me right on my ***. I couldn't walk right for the rest of the day.
Those things are cool if you have a wheelie bar like the guy in the vid, or if you're heavy enough to keep the thing planted on the ground.
I heard guys in Japan build insanely quick gopeds, kind of like the one in the video.
