I am also relatively new to Scotts. When I first rode my ’47 Flyer, one of my first impressions was also that 3rd felt under-geared at 60 (shortly followed by the horror at how poor the front brake was). The engine felt comfortable up to about 50-55 but 60+ feels like you are thrashing it even though there are lots of rpm to come. I think that is just the nature of the beast!
