I sold my Chinese girl and planned on living with my car, but it only took a couple of weeks to miss seeing the orange thing in the corner of the garage . I started looking last week and I am close to making up my mind to take the plunge again. It will also be Chinese and 50cc, very likely lots of plastic ,but what the heck ,at my age I don't have anything to lose I am looking at a Mojo or a Ace . The strange thing I started to notice is that the are about 10 scoots out there that are exactly the same except maybe a little bit of plastic in a different place and all have different names. Maybe the Chinese have a good idea ,it would save having to hunt for different parts . If I go ahead with this I think I will try a different color, I like Orange but yellow and white or blue and white would be OK .Who has a preference to the color ?? Attachments:

They have more color choices now, when I bought mine all they had was red and white, blue and white, or black and white. I really like the metallic yellow and white. I like highly visible colors.

Yellow, red, light green, orange, all great colors.
Why go for a 50cc trike? I hope you know they usually don't go very fast (<35MPH unrestricted)?

[replyingto=prodigit]prodigit[/replyingto] I am going for the 50cc ,because the state has a thing about motorcycle and mopeds. In fact they don't have the word scooter in their vocabulary
I was lick enough to pass their written test last week and it is restricted to only 3 wheelers . If i got a 150cc then it would be classified as a motorcycle . And then I would have to go to motor cycle school 50 miles away and of course pay a fee , then I would have to pass a visual test by a DMV employee . I am just too darned old to go through all that stuff.
Also the 10 cc are quite a bit cheaper,for my use.
One thing I noticed is that there are at least 10 scooters all exactly the same except for a little plastic. They all have different names though.One I think look pretty good so far is called MOJO and another is Ace .Both exactly the same except the Ace has a flat front end . At least it should be easier getting parts for them.

If I where you, I'd try to get a 2 stroke,the least. It should give enough power even for a trike to ride around in most city environments; not on the highway.
If you're lucky you might be able to maintain 40MPH on the highways on the uphill slope of a bridge, or with strong wind.

Probably a custom mod would be the way to do it...

Be kind of tough for a little 50cc 2T to pull an extra 100lbs that is on a Trike. I mean even now they can hardly make it up a hill with less weight to pull.
