If I have a higher/lower PSI in my Moped tires will it affect the speed, or just the smoothness of the ride? I just have a Roketa Sicily 50cc and wondered what the affect might be. Right now they are at half the PSI or a few less, yet they seem firm.

Under inflating will affect maneuverability, cause stress due to overheating, irregular wear of tread, tire failure, and sometimes loss of control.
The tires on your Roketa Sicily SCOOTER should be inflated to 30 PSI front and 32 PSI rear.

Have you ever tried to push a car with a flat tire? You can't.
Same thing with your moped. Air up the tire and go faster, and get better fuel economy.

After some range on the low side, It will affect your speed.

Don't mess with your tyre pressure or the stability of your moped is at risk.
