it's a shock the extends the motor and back wheel out and stretches the scoot.

No point to them except to stand out from others. It doesn't improve anything but the look if you're into that look.

I think he is talking about swapping in a 150 on a 50cc scoot frame which moves everything back? They have kits for that and they are not cheap. But I have not heard of a kit to move the whole 50cc motor back just for a stretch look. If you have a link for one modified motor mount to move the motor back put up the link.

Ah, got it.
Wouldn't it make the scooter a little less nimble, but a bit smoother? I know with cars, longer wheelbase typically means that. And my Harley-friend once told me a chopper is less nimble than his cruiser.

pcbgy6 has got it, and thanks. i didn't think it did. i do like the ook but i'd rather extend the floor board for more leg room lol.
and no allyoop. it rotates the 150cc motor back and put a shock between the top moutning point and the side mounting bracket.

I sure you could also use the factory setup from a maddog 50cc.

now. my 150 with a fat tire and stretch would look REALLY cool. BUT!, i like taking tight fast turns. so i think the fat back isn't a good idea. also it would add more weight.

You can get the 150cc stretch kits at monstergy6.com
They are built for the ruckus but I'm sure they can be used on a china scooter. You can get the fat tire in round or flat. A lot of rim options but they are pretty expensive.

To help prevent wheelies and improve traction for drag racing on modified scooters with turbo or nitrous oxide systems. Saw a Ruckus on my way home from work Monday tricked out with the extension, modified exhaust, etc. Looked to have had a hole shot mod done on the clutch too as the engine reved quite a bit before it engaged and the bike shot foward a few feet with a sudden jerk at every start off. Not too good in heavy traffic since he had to let a big enough space accumulate in front of him before he could go so he would not rear end the vehicle in front of him.

I emailed the seller on eBay asking when he may have more in stock and posted for sale. He told me that he still has a few but I'm not sure if he was going to post them again or how you would go about buying something directly from the seller with it being posted. I would want it posted so I could use eBay and PayPal in case something wasn't right. I guess that's just the cautious side of me.
