The write up in Janaury 1956 Canadian Army Journal says it a French design, with a top speed of 40 MPH, and that to fire the 75mm RR, the gunner must dismount from the scooter and emplace the gun (and presumably try to reinstall it before roaring away, once the fire mssion was completed), This rather negates the principle of "shoot and scoot". Nothing is said about ammunition supply, maybe it could carry a couple of rounds in the panniers. I would suspect the prospects of it suriviving long enough to require more ammunition than that were limited.
