Recognize wear of the vario
The vario is in fact the automatic gearbox of your Ciao and consists of several parts, such as the adjusting mechanism with rollers and the compression spring (these ensure that the vario can adjust). And just as with all other moped parts, the vario is also vulnerable to wear and tear. For example, if the moped does not gear back smoothly, it may be that the rollers are worn out. And also the drive-belt can wear causing the engine to make more revs while the top speed is reduced.
