This is what I ride, it's a Keeway Matrix 50cc that I kitted to 70cc. The exhaust is not stock obviously. Top speed is about 77km/h. And yes, I need new tires, those are coming soon.

Hello, i have a Piagio Zip 50cc from 2022 i bought 2months ago and i don't know much about mechanic stuff.
Here is the thing: yesterday it was perfectly working like usual, sometimes it takes a bunch of seconds more to start but i never had this problem.
This morning, i tried to start it and i had the same sound as usual then it stopped, and now when i try i heard this sound (see the video attached)
Maybe it's the spark plug ?
Ty in advance !

Scooter haulin' on a VW Golf?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I have a 2011 VW Golf. I also have a rather finicky 2009 Buddy 125.

I was wondering if anyone with a smaller car has successfully put on a hitch and a transporter/hauler?

I was thinking nothing big, something like above.

Thoughts?

Scooters for Tall People?

Upvotes

I'm totally brand new to scooters. My old beater car needs nearly $3k worth of work, and I used it only for trips that were too far for my ebike. So I'm wondering if I should replace it with a scooter rather than repair it. One problem though: I'm 6'5".

Are there any scooters that I can comfortably ride? Also how long would it take to learn? Thanks!

Narrower handlebars?

Upvotes

I have a kymco super 8 and the handlebars seem to be much wider than other scooters. It’s pretty hard to lane filter bc it’s so wide. Does anyone know if a handlebar swap would be an easy enough thing to do?

Thanks!

Zipp vapor 50cc 4t chokes on full throttle

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So my zipp vapor 50cc was last used 10 months ago and it worked fine. But the last 5 days I've been trying to figure out why my scooter chokes on full throttle and loses power. The carb had been replaced last year, and 3 days ago we replaced the spark. I have also tried a bigger main jet but still chokes. So now I am thinking it might be valve but before I start doing stuff I want to get a opinion.

hoping u guys could help. My scooter buddy 50cc 2t sounds and looks like it has 2 step.... anything after half throttle it backfires like crazy.(video below) i cleaned carb today and cleaned plug, plug looked lean. My thought is bowl isnt getting feul. It starts up runs fine has good power till i hit the end of my street and it backfire like crazy.. its a vacuum ran peacock not gravity wich sucks. And im thinking either something is wrong with float or gas cap isn't venting? It started at my buddy's little dirt jum track most the stuff is smooth but some of the jumps and bumps can be pretty rough. It's had issue before were it die or only run on wot after hitting bumps but goes away on it own.. not this time https://youtube.com/shorts/Vwk5h44DFbE?si=K7eeE__uPnVqqks3

Probably a stupid question. How do you guys transport your bicycle (26 in wheels mountain bike)on a scooter?

Speedfight 4 4t euro 5

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a bigger fuel injector that fits my 2022 Peugeot Speedfight 4 Euro 5 (Continental EFI). The scooter has a 63cc cylinder kit, and I think the original injector is too small.
The part number on my injector is scratched off, so I can’t identify it.
Does anyone know of a higher-flow injector that fits without major modifications? If you’ve done this on a Continental EFI setup, I’d really appreciate your advice.

Aprilia SR 50 Motard HELP!

1 Upvotes

I have the Aprilia sr 50 motard 4 stroke (AKA typhoon 4t 50cc) with the following mods:

70cc kit

Main jet changed from 72 to 75

idle jet changed from 35 to 40

polini high flow intake air filter

Drive Belt Malossi X-Special 

when i floor it the rpms go up fast and i hit about 75KPH on the dash and about 70 on my phone before i hear BANG BANG BANG from the rpm limiter. I just ordered a Polini variator high speed, would i be able to hit 100kph with the setup? all i want is fast acceleration between 20 and 60 kph.

I recently got Piaggio Beverly 400 tourer 2008 and ive been hunting the cause of some rattle noise. So far i did change rollers and sliders but sound persists. It happens only during the ride, its most pronounced on uphill drive. I also did Oil and filter change and found no flakes in Oil from bearings.

Which 70cc kit for Genuine Roughhouse?

1 Upvotes

I'm new to this. I don't want a big upgrade project - I just want my scooter to go a little faster.

I have a 2023 Genuine Roughhouse 50, and I want to add a 70cc big bore kit. I will leave everything else stock.

I have read that Malossi is top of the line.

The Malossi 70cc kit is $325.

https://www.scooterworks.com/products/malossi-cylinder-kit70ccironacminarellibuddy-50-zuma50-m-317083?srsltid=AfmBOorY6vDlmzDdt5hyDMzTrn1PhoStD95jimaC-6u3LrvBbDKGYTiW

Naraku sells a 70cc kit for $115.

https://www.scooterworks.com/products/naraku-70cc-performance-cylinder-for-ac-minarelli-137-26?variant=49985981874456&_gsid=ga36D6eyZcze&utm_source=chatgpt.com&utm_medium=feed&oppcref=f7775496-b691-471b-9cbc-79108cfc85a3

If I am not planning on doing any other upgrades, will the Naraku perform the same as the Malossi? Or will I regret going the cheaper route?

I feel like even if the Naraku gave out in a few thousand miles, I could get another one and it would still be cheaper than buying the Malossi.

Any input is welcome,

Thanks!

Genuinely, what more can I do?

1 Upvotes

I’ve had a GY6 50cc for some time now and the last time it came out the shop they barely got it to work. Shortly after it wouldn’t turn over at all and I decided to work on it myself.

All I done so far:

  1. Put in a brand new rear clutch assembly
  2. Put in a brand new CDI
  3. Did spark plug test (Plug is good)
  4. Changed fuel filter pod
  5. Tinkered with the Valves as best as I could to make it the proper spacing

It cranks a lot better now , it just won’t turn over. If I hold the crank, it builds up, but never comes alive.

I don’t know what to do now and I don’t want to keep being it to the shop just for them to be like “We don’t know what’s wrong , we did the best we could.” And then have the bike run for only one week and die on me again.

If anyone else knows what could be the issue , I would love to hear it 🤧
