Not necessarily. It all depends on the transmission and gear ratios. The higher the gear (4th, 5th, 6th etc.) the faster you will go, but the less torque will be getting to the wheels. So you might run out of horsepower to overcome the wind resistance etc. It's like riding a 10 speed bike. Easy to go up hill in first gear, not easy in 10th gear. The pedals are moving faster in first gear, but more power is getting to the ground and it just takes longer to go a distance. With your scooter, you might be making the engine go very fast at 35 mph, even in high gear. Most of those engines have a governer attached so the engine can not red line, but sitting here, I can't guarantee it.

I am looking to but a scooter that goes at least 55 mph and I keep seeing things like 50cc and 125cc does this have anything to do with the speed?
Indirectly, yes. "50cc" and "125cc" refer to the displacement of the engine, expressed in cubic centimetres. In my jurisdiction, a 50cc. scooter is not capable of speeds in excess of 50 MPH, therefore you don't need a motorcycle endorsment on your driver's license. A 125cc. "scooter" is legally a motorcycle, and there are 125cc. bikes that are capable of speeds in excess of 100 MPH. There are also 50cc. scooters that will exceed 55 MPH and then some, but don't tell anybody...

50 cc is a engine size and mph is a speed. The two are totally unrelated, except by the maximum amount of power you can get out of a 50cc engine. The final speed will then be governed by weight, wind resistance and final drive power.

My Honda Ruckus gets up to about 40 mph. But it takes a while!This really depends on the model and manufacturer of the scooter, and if it the the street legal kind or the Goped style scooter.Street legal 50 cc: Most street legal 50 cc scooters will top out at around 40 mph, some slower while others in the high 40s to low 50s.Goped type: These type are quite a bit slower in general due to lack of a transmission and inferior sized wheels. These type will usually top out at about 25-30 mph.A 50cc Petrol Scooter can go different speeds. It will depend on how the scooter is maintained.
