Curious, is it a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine. Like Joshua said, it will help if you tell us the engine model stamped on the engine case (usually on the left side near the oil drain plug).

I have the same problem, I installed the 100 BBk but it still goes 35-40 mph. I left the exhaust, CDI and the fuel lines stock. I don't know what is wrong.

A 50mm bbk and a set of scrappy 50/16 gears would do you pretty well if you are trying to stay on a cheap budget and doing the work yourself. What budget and speeds are you looking for? Scrappy doesn't sell the 50/16 gears anymore. |

Scrappy doesn't sell the 50/16 gears anymore. The hoca 18/46 at parts for scooters is a pretty good gear. I would suggest a little more then just a 50mm bbk piston though. I would include a performance head also that way you have the power to pull the gear. www.partsforscooters.com/169-206_QMB139_Gear_Set |

Bodydraggers,
I've been riding now for more than a half-century... So I've been "around the block" a few times. My younger days always included a big-bike of some kind, but now, due to arthritis, I've gone back to scooters with step-through frames and I really love them.
Last year, I traded in my Chinese 150 on a well-used Kymco 250, simply because I really needed more speed for safe riding in fast traffic.
I'm on a VERY tight fixed-income, so I fully understand your budget... In my humble opinion, you would be MUCH happier if you make do with your present 50 cc scooter, and save up as fast as you can for a more capable ride. If you search diligently, by the time you have some money saved up, you'll find a bigger-displacement scoot you can afford.
And, I would seriously consider going larger than a 150. I rode my 150 for nearly 7 years before figuring out it was NEVER going to have enough speed to keep up with "frisky" traffic from a redlight, or with freeway speeds.
Winter is coming on, and prices will be dropping. Some riders on the site have even found NEW Italian 250's and similar VERY capable rides for incredibly low prices! And nowadays, there is a whole new class of scooters in the 200cc class. I rode a loaner Kymco "People 200" while my dealer changed my tires, and while it is NOT a true 200, but rather a 163cc air-cooled GY6 type, it was very capable up to 65mph. I was highly impressed!
If you save your money, are open to every option including used scoots, and keep on looking... You will find a great scooter which will do everything you need it to do, for a price you'll be able to afford. I've often traded labor for items, or "items for items"... Trading is a good way to avoid spending... LOL!
I honestly believe you will not get a 50cc to do what you need... And, with a little creativity, you can certainly get at least a good, used 150 VERY cheap... And a 150 is light-years ahead of most 50's, even if the 50 is tweaked for max performance.
My opinion only, but with diligence, you can work your way up the displacement food-chain without spending much. Maybe even not spending anything if you're a REALLY good trader... And you'll be MUCH happier, even with a 150, then move on to a 250/300 size if necessary.
Ride safe, whatever you ride...
Sincerely,
Leo in Texas
