I have been off the boards for awhile...A bit scared of scooting since the accident. But a bit of irony presented itself this week. My neighbor builds custom motorcycles, as I was passing his house this lady pulls up on a tgb/pierspeed delivery 50cc. The only scoot that I would ride again.
Turns out she was going to my neighbor to get some work done on it B4 sale. I ended up the lucky new owner.
After all my fear...i decided it is the ride after all.xD

And it's a 14" front wheel with a disc brake dual adjustable shock rear 12". Added bonus: 2 stroke.
I'm going to have way too much fun on this thing. Jeezuz look at that huge heated trunk! Not driving my minivan to work anymore, this holds my tools just fine:)
My last 4 stroke stroked scoot held 60mph all day. I'm sure I can match that with this one...and get there quicker...103cc anyone?

Psychedelicode,
Welcome to the site! THAT is the wildest, most unusual utility scooter I've seen! With the heated cargo-space it may have been designed to deliver food... You could "moonlight" delivering pizza in bad times!
Even with a 2-stroke, I'm not sure how much speed it's capable of, but it surely IS a VERY handy and useful ride!
Enjoy, and ride safe!
Leo in Texas

Chinese takeaway and pizza delivery scooter. Can you reverse the polarity to keep things cool or is it a heat only model? www.tgb.com.tw/"Name : EXPRESS 50/125 As the meaning of the word, Delivery scooter has been specially designed for commercial use. It has purpose built frame for low gravity center and adapted rear-twin shock absorbers. Instead of one main stand, we equipped L/R latching side stands that have built-in engine cut off. Top case having 150L displacement would never limit your usage at all. Also foot-rests are included for driver comfort and improved handling/weight distribution. Maybe we should call it the most luxury scooter for commercial use. Looking for a more efficient delivery and promotional vehicle? The TGB Express is the only scooter designed for delivery and commercial purpose. With a large 150 liter top box and lower center of gravity for better balance, the TGB Express can still sent you hot and delicious food in time after delivering. The big cargo capacity and easy operation makes TGB Express the most efficient delivery vehicle. (The TGB Express has used by Domino’s Australia)" |

Yeah it is a delivery specific model. I saw them alot when I lived in mexico. Unfortunately, it is not a hot\cool bag. Just a hot bag.
It has a big problem though. Starvation. It's unriadable right now. Touch the throttle and she revs then dies.

Time for a remedial fuel treatment at the heavy dosage of 3 ounces per gallon and if that does not help do a valve adjustment an then clean the carburetor and readjust only if really needed. Resist the urge to force a steel wire through the jets as pushing the cut end through will many times enlarge the orifice.

I've seen a lot of times when they sit that people go directly to cleaning the carb. I myself will also clean them but I've found that in some instances that the vacuum fuel pump was the culprit, rubbers would dry out and crack, no fuel = no running. In your case it might not pull enough vacuum to keep running. If you can get it started with some starting fluid and turn down on the throttle and it'll run but as soon as you try to let it idle it'll die would point you to the main jet being clogged up.

2stroke no valves to adust.. Clean and adjust the reed plate then of so equipped or potentially decarbonize the ports. |
