Default Anyone lock up the rear wheel on a C50?

I have an Aprilia moped with disks front and rear. That thing can stop on a dime. I've stood on the rear brake of my C50 and it feels like a downshift in comparison. I know there is a big weight difference, but is the C50 rear brake that weak?

BTW, I use the front brake also.
