Today I finally got my wife to take a ride with me. She rode her Honda Express-SR that I found on Ebay and I was on my Avanti Autopower. The route is quite hilly in places and it proved interesting. On level ground I blow her away, but on the serious hills she leaves me far behind. since the Honda has a variator drive and the avanti a 2 speed this didn't surprise me but the difference was more than I expected. Both fine machines but with different strengths. Ken
Ken,
How do you compare in weight. Try trading rides and see what happens.

Thanks Ron, That thought had already come to me. I outwiegh her by about 40 lbs.
I asked her to trade on the way back but she declined my offer, but I'll get her to do it one of these days.
Another point to consider, I had just filled the transmission with SAE 30 oil, like the factory says, and I could feel it was more sluggish than before. I just drained it and put in Dextron III and tomorrow I'll head for the hills and try it out. Ken
never put trasmision fluid in the transmision cause when transmission fluid gets hot it expands and makes a lot of pressure in the transmission only put what the book says and how much the book says
by the way the sr is only 1 speed i hve taken mine completely apart
