I have asked the same thing. With cvt train, really not a good way. That I heard of. Can always fab up a nut and bolt behind the gas petal, so can be adjusted how far petal goes down. But since cvt, could affect the performance. Or may not help much, if long striaght away. Or gear it low as possible, light wieght rollers. Change out final gears, and sprocket on the chain.
I don't know if there is an adjustable cdi, that will do what you need.
This is what I did for my 10 year old. Got a trail tech. Which has tack speed odometer. Heat gage,.
And records info for each run. If you reset it.
You can set warning lights on it, so when hits certain temp or rpm range, will flash. Told my son, if yellow light goes off, then better slow down. And not to go over 25 mph. If he did, then he grounded from it.
The normal trail, or path we take, wide open, most time can't get over 26. Down hill. Straight away not long enough for 10g rollers, to get into highest gear. But sounds like he is hauling butt. But really not, being so low geared.
He 12 now, so I just let him after it. Got a good 5 point harvest for both sides, for both kids. I just make sure they strapped in good and tight before each run.
Only thing is now, if red light flashes, engine getting warm, so time to shut it down for a while.
Trail tech is pretty cool for the price.
