What is the corresponding speed for each gear of the CFMOTO 150NK?

When shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear, the speed should reach 15-20 km/h; when shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, the speed should reach 25-35 km/h; when shifting from 3rd gear to 4th gear, the speed should reach 35-45 km/h; when shifting from 4th gear to 5th gear, the speed should reach 45-55 km/h. This also applies when downshifting. Braking method at high speed: When the speed is relatively high, above 30 km/h, you need to first apply the brake to reduce the speed (to 20-30 km/h), then simultaneously press the clutch to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Avoid skipping gears: Skipping gears while driving can easily damage the vehicle's transmission.
When I first started riding the CFMoto 150NK, I realized that matching gears with speed is crucial. Use 1st gear for starting, and shift to 2nd gear smoothly within 10 km/h; 2nd gear is ideal for around 20 km/h, making it easy to follow traffic in the city; 3rd gear feels most comfortable at around 30 km/h, with the engine running quietly and smoothly; 4th gear is perfect for cruising at about 45 km/h, providing strong acceleration for overtaking; and 5th gear is best used above 60 km/h for fuel efficiency on highways. Never push 1st gear to 30 km/h, or the engine will roar in protest. This bike is a fun ride, so keep the RPM below 8000. I usually shift gears by listening to the engine sound, and once you get used to it, you'll achieve perfect harmony between rider and machine.
I've been commuting with my 150NK for three years, and its power curve is very clear. Keep first gear shifts under 15 km/h, otherwise the front end will lurch; second gear performs best around 25 km/h, providing enough power for gentle slopes; third gear is smoothest between 30 to 40 km/h with quick throttle response; fourth gear is recommended for cruising at 40 to 55 km/h with minimal wind noise; fifth gear is for speeds above 55 km/h, ideal for suburban roads. The engine's low-end torque is relatively weak, and high gears at low speeds can cause lugging, so I usually upshift when the RPM reaches 5000. Remember not to rev the engine too hard when it's cold to protect the clutch plates for long-term durability.
