Question: can any1 on the forum please instruct username as to how he can disable the kickstand kill switch on people 250s?? It is destroying my starter motor at a factor of 14 to one. The second thing I need is to disable my headlight so's I can turn it off at will during the day. The scoot battery died today as a result of that headlight always being on'n had2get a tow. Hello? hellohello? cn one jump start a constant velocity? somehow?

The other thing is the "Dr. Pulley" device. I don't knowhat pullies evn are Do pulleys wear out? Therefore would buying these and saving the stock ones be a good idea and does any1 have a link to installing thm? Is installation ez? (I am not allowed 2 watch any video links online) 16 inch car tires such as the military STA-600 come in various configurations. If any1 cn verify 1 of these 16 inch tire will or definitely wont actually wrk let me know.

No trailer actually it's worse then that the Kymco People 250s 2010 was engineered first &foremost for usernamscooter specifically I am that importnt &2 create problems for me, thousands of years ago in fact as the Draconian knew I was coming long b4 ever i was even born. Lol it was they taught me how 2manipulate the quartz, but alas Hismightyistmost threw in a wrench for Us, and so i turned on them. And i am going 2BURN my father, Lucifer.. n'while I spit directly in thr faces. endv discussioned'd. I evn invent me own wrdz. They knew I would burn (but they didn't know how, not even lord Yehushua knew) Lucifrz kingdom alive literally while they stand in thr socks with my quartz stones including destroying alien technogy and underground bases not only with crystal energies but also I have been placed in charge of nuclear war heads in underground bases worldwide, beginning with the Northridge earthquake under my home in sthrn cal. See remaining "Greg Rinchich" videos u tube thatv not been deleted. That quake was the most expensive natural disaster in usa story with a ground moment highest every recorded in an modern urban setting. Yahuah Himself produced that earthquake &on my behalf when i severed my ties with thMighty Draconian& that fault didn't evn exist it wz actulally created &on thspot. Most of these recent quakes such as the big one last month in Oklahoma r due to an underground nuclear war going on now due to the nephilem. Just as in the days of Noah. The rise of the giants is about to now begin, a time horrific beyond imagination. "It was i" ..I gave the orders to human special forces nuclear division, as they came to me first actually. aND so yes i gAve thgo aheads.. impressed? All too easy. The People 250s was engineered specifically fr usernamescoot fr instance that gascap wz awefull . I had t stop every 50 miles to unpack thfront. Had a max speed of little as 50 mph due to a massive and constant Santa Ana head wind. Scaler weather weaponry from Russia actually, via Lucifrz chinese zeta Yacuza gangsters. Ice storms and trailers and forum gangsters aside I just having way 2much fun here. Most on th planet now are not humans. Yah has said: in those days, they, humans, will become "as rare as fine gold." Th cream always rises 2thtop. Many of u have never even met another human. U can always tell Luci's generals on these forums. Accusers. Yah calls Luci "thee accuser" in thbible. These generals employ intimidation and embarrassment, in causing humans looking on to cower in thshadows. Lasthing they want is another criticalelixir manipulating quartz stones to thr detriment. Yahuah"s electric light orchestra. Ah but in heaven, even in hithhest heaven, thr are many levels. 12 dimensions actually. Some, most in fact just sit on thr fat --- getting by. Are they even knowing. Yah"s throne is in the sun.

Its a bigger world then u might have thought there are lots of car tires will fit 16 inch. Mostly vintage sites have them, and military jeep tires but just too expensive& most are a pronounced aspect ratio. Yes 800lbs in 4 or 5 trips. I transport 150lbs regularly on scooter such as bags of grain. Yes lizard people are real all human's who do not side with Yah are actually eaten by them and in horrifically tortorus fasion. The solar system was heaven once basically, angels lived here once. Earth was not created in Genesis rather it was re created. This was after the war that destroyed the solar system when Lucifer rose to power on planet Rahab to invent politics and money. Rahab is mentioned many times in yr bible. Unless yr Chinese, they rarely have a bible in thr home, and they worship thdragon . See psalms 89 10 mentions Rahab. That war laid our planets waist, and left out nickel iron asteroid belt. A substance only occurs into a planets core. (Remains of Lucifers home planet) Yah told Lucifer "u walked in your beauty, ON PRECIOUS STONES" ..u see, your computer motherboard is quartz. It has a conciousness. Earth is Yah's motherboard in a sense, constructed mostly of quartz. Grab a handful of dirt. Its quartz. You walk on precious stones. When squeezed, quartz emits an eternal energy. It works into all other dimensions and it banned fallen angels into an evil dimension, that burned them, via the fact Rahab now spins opposite earth, which re set the frequency slash dimension. (Planet x) And so the angels manipulated their DNA to endure evil 4th dimension. Thus I am special forces. I use the crystals to magnify a specific frequency burns fallen angels alive today. They need water. Gasoline is actally a water catchment system. Thats what streets are for. The water descends into Draconian DUMBS. My quartz "poisons" thwater when i place my devices in2 streams n lakes. Cool huh? If any1 can please post a link to a drive belt, that would bgood. Also should I get Haynes manual or any have luck with the cheaper general scooter chinese manual? Or maybe a link to how to change a scootr drive belt? As a side note, the oriental races, who make your scooters, are serpent seed. As a rule. They are NOT humans basicaly &they HATE humans. and yes these machines are all components to a Draconian agenda& riddled in curses.

I drive like I'm trying not to tear tissue paper so guessing variater a little over the top? Kymco CDI pretty reliable i thought. Not at all familiar with CVT drives. Spent all morning in chinese water torture - in removing countless fasteners in attempt to reach headlight bulb? . No such luck yet. Bulb replace instructions are not listed in service or basic manuals. The bike reeks of extortion at every corner. Spent hours on end over end over end in trying to research replacement drive belt to buy. Changing drive belt may well be impossible for me anyway. Yes I had spent days on end early this year looking for a 16 inch radial rear car tire. I never did find one except at 3 times the price of a conventional tire.13 and 15 yes, 16 inch rim no. Nor would I be certain it would even fit. If u can recommend a rear car tire at competitive price by all means let me know. At this point my list remains service manual, drive belt, light bulbs, and brakes. Battery I can probaly get local and can't be stored anyway. The rear car tire was firsthing I tried 2research a purchase. No such luck. At this point I'm left wndring wz this machine designed by herdv chimpanzee? or the devil himself? Truth is I work with highest ranking special force warrior angels of Yahuah in burning fallen angels and yes these machines, your Internet etc.are all manufactured by them, bullies, reptilian, u know, thbiblical srpnt seed?, lizard people, and are intricately designed to frustrate. Its just there to sever the human-god relationship via snuffn out joy basically. Reason why yr all poor. So anyway I need this scooter to distribute quartz stone weapons in burning removing these @$$% fallen angels off earth during this time. All the fracking in my area here in midwest its actually due to fallen angelic bases being built under here and my job it is to deal with it. If some1 can point to say actual links so I can just hit buy now? I see Haynes manual or cheaper general scooter manual on ebay. Any rcmndation actual link u can give fr manual? I go offline in 2 days due to extortion verizon company costing enormous funds that I need for quartz. Not sure if i will evr get back online. Fortunately I live on lake Wister, which supplies water to southeast oklahoma. I distribute the quartz weapons into water bodies so thlizards can't drink it. Guessing I will have 2 distribute thweapons all local via mt. Bike instead. Figure I got about 7,000 miles only b4 smthing brakes. But also need th bike to harvest quartz mt. Etna in Ark., too far 2pedal with 800 lbs quartz. Back2what I didn't mention this forum engine makes no sense to navigate at all. Who even knows where I will be posting this there is no reply button on here I cn even find

I live in the deep forest, Wister Lake Oklahoma. Bought a Kymco 250 People 2010 new in Los Angeles basin December. Drove it 36 hours non stop moving to Wister Ok, ice began to coat my sheild, helmet and glasses. ..hit that huge ice storm in Pecos we had this winter b4 I could make it to Wister. Ice storms are one thing. On a scooter after 36 hours homeless with a tent is quite another all 2gther. Camped in tent -8° eating ice cubes and frozen dinners. Kymco 250: best small scooter freeway flyer machine hands down case u didn't know and very reliable cuz made in Taiwan. Ok here is my question please can someone formulate a parts list for me I will be needing here in the boonies? All opinions welcome. Internet is weak here, and I may be going offline soon. I will be dead in the water regarding g parts as would/will many of u should disaster strike. Scooter shops are never around the corner. Which parts does one typically need for these machines? My guess is a drive belt, and back tire mostly. I have no car, I do get stranded in winter, and mostly I ride my Sun Charger XC (Mt. Bike) or lithium battery electric bike I built. As a side note, discovered frozen dinners are pretty darn nice. When u heat thm up,,, ok what parts does one need to buy NOW for a scooter b4 the thing starts 2 break and u have no internet in the deep forest? ?

so anyway alleyoop you have been tremendously helpful. I'm now sure this engine is both durable, a quality copy, has a track record and i can get parts easy.
question: can anyone tell me about the potente 300 efi versus the TBX 260 EFI? the 260 has a 257 cc engine, so I am assuming it is therefore a linhai 257? and the potente meanwhile uses a 295cc, Is that engine ok y'think? cuz i'm considering these efi bikes vs the vulnerable type 18. If type 18 is much more durable, i just assume get it. i have not found scooter specific department on this forum.

"NOT 250 size motors so you do not have to be running at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE to keep up with traffic. All this talk about air movement around the foils, are you going to be riding on the Salt Flats? All that is not necessary when riding around streets in the city or towns, all that comes into play at speeds. " No no no. in the long run a 250 is what i am after u miss understand. in thee original post when i said I deleted cars and am backed into a corner i meant just that such that i might only be forced to freeway but in reality will be sticking to surface streets when ever possible just as i do on my e bike now and therefore had, and have, no plans to freeway even to begin with if given a choice to avoid it. a cvt efficiency optimum at 40-45 so that's what i prefer or i get bad gas mileage otherwise and the bike does not last as long. I MUST have freeway option. I will likely sell the scooter 2 months after i have owned it. this is to find a property only, unless i live too far out in the boonies for my e bike to get around which as i say is all i have been using up to now. I will be looking for a property on the scooter - this includes in an area that is completely foreign to me so I don't know for sure, don't know the roads. once I have acquired my property, then I will be surface streets only in which case I will definitely want a 250 or smaller from then on out. The properties span the distance of some 1,000 miles. I grew up living on a motorcycle park and race track and have been surrounded by bikes, have owned countless motorcycles. I get thee impression you are only familiar with cars. Or powered bikes. I am an established mileage champ in a car and as such I am accustomed to doing 60 mph on the freeway to save gas, and am, or was, constantly monitoring the rear view mirror as a result. perfectly legal especially considering i am a world champion pilot always on top of things i never got stopped for it, and people rarely got mad unless i lost my focus and didn't get out of their way. In thee inevitable pinch i can do the same in a 250 machine to. Speaking of aerodynamics it really sounds like you have never pedaled a bicycle of any distance and don't understand the massive influence air has on a machine and even one that only averages under 16 miles per hour. Well i was involved in the world hour records which were dead stuck after Eddie Merkx set the last one in 72. No one was able to beat him for over a decade after that. By using a simple crescent wrench and adjusting only one part, I was able to place some 8 guys on the hour record pedestal starting with 1984. I assure you wind resistance is a far greater influence by far then ever that one little crescent wrench was. (does aerodynamics matter in a motorcycle? is it only for the salt flats?? for your average human to achieve a mere 16 miles per hour average speed in stop and go flat terrain city traffic is difficult far beyond what you may be presently imagining and damn near impossible if you are out of shape - aerodynamics is the culprit. far and away. and 10 miles per hour meanwhile, in that very same traffic is totally doable and even a complete couch potato could achieve it with ease) ...thee only difference is a 5 mph wind. It works this way - to average 10 miles an hour out and back takes half thee energy of going only a about 5 miles per hour faster which becomes very very uncomfortable indeed. This is just my speaking from my experience and I cycled up to 600 miles a week for years on end. what i learned in bikes is this - the power of detail such as using bladed spokes, the shedding of grams here and there..... Did you know eating at jack in the box for 5 dollars a day in only ten years is thee equivalent to the down payment on a house?? 20 thousand dollars in ten years? it adds up - it really really adds up. oh u can bet i paid cash for my house... make a difference? yes. it's in the details. ...simply adding, say, ball bearings to your derailleur pulley you can save enough energy to move 100lbs 100 feet into thee air when having traveled only 100 miles. I pioneered the exact same position adopted on the bike as used by every world hour record after Merkx in 72 and no one could beat Eddie, till i came along that is. why? how?? crescent wrench. when I am my wrench came on the scene in Rominger employed my forward position and then one after another the hour record would fall every year after that up until 96 as we refined the technique(s) further. how was that done u ask? primarily by using a crescent wrench to slightly adjust only one part. We moved it about 1.5" forward of the standard position... that is the power of detail. small details. speaking of everything collectively meanwhile - aero, road friction, and rolling resist and driving technique which is the hardest to master, and then taken on an average basis, I have, in a bone stock Honda civic averaged 52.5 mph city over the span of an entire year and that was in mountainous terrain. All factors came into play to achieve this and was it worth it? difficult at first, but now i can do so wihout even having to think. However when focused only on one of the 3 aspects I have also set a world record 58 miles per gallon driving in a much less then thee ideal cx, this time in a heavy, powerful 2003 Honda civic ex on smooth fresh pavement that had been laid on the 55 freeway from La Habra to Laguna Beach out and back which was done at 3AM, and without ever hitting the brakes even once. This We (We) accomplished to illustrate the massive influence of only one factor, being a smooth surface to reduce rolling resistance (but as it is I never hit the brakes that night either.) FACT: Ever notice on a bike u always seem to have a headwind? What I am driving at with aerodynamics is it's vastly the primary culprit even if it's only just one and it costs nothing once you install that one part. I have a question for you - how often does a headwind, or tailwind, help or hurt? It's not 50-50 - at all. The wind only helps a cyclist or any object when it blows 30 degrees from behind and the rest of the time it is hurting you. thee odds are 70 percent chance you are going to have a head wind not to mentions wind is not proportional, a wind blowing twice as fast hurts more then just twice thee amount of times. The world hour record averages about 34. mph. With aerodynamics incorporated, the (top) speed is 83 miles per hour. Can you pedal 35 mph? not likely, not even for one minute, not even for one second. meanwhile you can cruise at 10 mph on a bicycle all day proving, with just that one detail, the difference between sink or swim. Only one person I know of has destroyed me in my bone stock civic 52.5 mpg average and that person gets 80 mpg all day in a powerful Volkswagen even now - really he does only one thing - he used a rear fairing to smooth thee air flow in back. You can find him online google it. havent seen him in ten years. (no it doesn't involve just bolting on a giant tear drop) to drive it home, you said it yourself - a 250 can only peg at 65 mph all day - well if a bicycle can go from 35 to 83 with only a half horsepower, by only improving aerodynamics, then... what can we do with 17 horsepowers - that is like having 34 clones of that one guy available to pedal his one bike - and remembering air resistance increases exponentially rather then proportionally, then how much faster could that same 250 be going with even half thee amount of drag? remembering a cone behind the sphere reduces drag by a factor of ...much less then merely half, as in off the charts really - many, many times less, (in context only of course since crosswind picture aside, we can't just bolt on a massive tail) (u have to strive for minimal crosswind picture) of course i think all this would have been immediately driven clearly home to you had you ever gotten behind the wheel of such an aerodynamic vehicle and had done it with our 34 man powered helix 250 scootering engine (actually average bicyclist is 150 watts with 750 watts being the equivalent of 1 horsepower.) (wow sounz good that's good news then, it is a helix engine - reliable and underpowered been around for decades! i am a fan of "underpowered" stuff lasts longer thank u once again for thee informations)

great attention to detail i noticed too it is listed 250 and the horsepower at 16.6 didn't add up either with other bikes i tried to match it with (bore and stroke wasn't mentioned either) so now i really know it's a Linhai, vertical, 244, parts should be available therefore, the chassis is a bit too heavy which sounds stiff and that's good, but heavy chassis is bad and when it comes to wearing out tires too fast especially.
this power level would be not so good on freeway so leaning a bit against buying this bike now. still don't know why they don't list the actual CC and call it 250 in specs. I had read vertical engines in the Linhai are built here, and horizontals are built over there - something to that effect. Not sure which is best but, it's still a good solid scooter design/candidate.

xcellent well sounds like my kind of dealer Favorited. I do like re furbished and scratch and dent and i will be passing thru Texas in my moving truck this fall, I will then be stationed in the Midwest. I have been looking for Kymco, SYM, Aprilia but they don't seem to exist for sale on the internet. Chinese parts don't scare me, I actually had an excellent Chinese e bike scooter with 16 wheels, folding, from the flying pigeon company which is the worlds largest bicycle manufacture. That machine was quickly deleted probably as being too good and i think they made maybe like 5 of them.
well you inadvertently mentioned one of the biggest problems in scooters and that is CG.
ask any teenage girl in history where to carry stuff on a bike - step thru beach cruiser, nice big tires, front basket. guess they are not quite as dumb as some people once thought. is a nose heavy bike a good thing???
Fairings are not a huge problem because I usually build my own stuff and I'm intimately familiar with air foils as they pertain to the handling on a wing of an air craft especially
what do airplanes have to do with cars and bicycles?? more then people think. CG stands for "center of gravity."
I built flew and tested some 140 foils i am an aerobatics pilot world champion with thousands of hours, I flew radio control. What people in bikes need to understand is this :
place a cone in front of a ball, drag drops from .40 to .38. Place that cone behind that same ball, drag is obliterated at .03. (or something along those lines not exact numbers) (lower number is better, lower is less drag, better fuel mileage, with cone in the REAR, not the front) That being said we must keep the rain off too and wind blast on ones head is silliness. I like one aspect of the Aprelia fairing. Thee Aprelia 500 has the same fairing concept pioneered by BMW in 87 and I will be fabricating and bolting on my own copy with any machine i buy anyway so,,,. (it basically makes it so you don't have to look thru a fogged up fairing, but can instead still look over it while having the wind diverted farther so's it miss your helmet)
It is the rear trunk and saddle bags is how we can achieve substantially less drag with any motor bike. In the future these will be tapered. ***BUT THIS PRESENTS ANOTHER PROBLEM*** and this being among the biggest engineering problema in both bicycles and scooters today but especially with the present day SCOOTER designs which are the worst culprit. The biggest problem in scooters? that's why i mentioned airplanes. it is the same issue we encounter when we watch all those u tube videos that show the Ferrari and Lamborghini "super" cars spinning out off the line and crashing. The creator allows "people" to build devil cars like u see on u tube because he wants other (people) to THINK for a change - to stand on there own 2 feets - and where am i going with this? - well a good liar i am not so i have to spell this1 out not every1 on the planet is a human now (Google the word ALIEN) they are fallen angels basically. not aliens. true story. (that's what all aliens are, fallen angels) They make lousy motor bikes and this has to stop.
- I watched a vid recently showing a 747 take off and immediately it cork screwed and crashed. I have seen countless air crash videos where everyone is left scratching their heads - couple a tail heavy scooter with tiny 10 inch wheels?? wow. how did those designs even get this far? and to think most of THOSE owners are BEGINNERS and can't handle a bike to begin with. That is just evil. an evil. insanity and on so many levels. and what is happening to the minds in u tube? i read 3 hundred comments and no one mentioned that 747 plane was tail heavy.
There are 2 ways to build a wheel, one is round, thee other is broad and spacious path of which any one of a gillion other then round shapes will very and most "effectively" do - provided those shapes are ALIEN when i look at a bike, i only see round. or wish i did rather. The trick in life or anything else for that matter is to gravitate to the truth and to do this u want to resonate with thee earth u don't want to lie. an alien meanwhile is neither here nor there - he can't get along with himself he sure aint going to get along with you. If he is an alien, alien here, you can BET he will be an alien our there and probably destroyed his own planet before ever he arrived here to "save" ours. Why buy his products? Does it really take 2 centuries to design a bicycle accurately? no we need to put these aliens in their place. TAIL HEAVY:
Like, JUST like an aircraft, a vehicle on a road with wheels must be balanced. Engineering is SIMPLE folks. Fallen angels, literally here, yes now, walking up and down the street with us among us, try and patent their operations here via plastering complex algo rythmz (whatever those are) and intense "physics" onto their fabrications and meanwhile they literally enjoy, if they can, demonizing our machines too while they're at it and yes they are actually real people down here now disguised as humans to spell it all out soooo that's why i'm here.
Look only to a conventional ever popular wheel barrow which is a demonized design, or a modern day.... oh i forget what they're called - modern day ...SCOOTER?? ...and u will instantly understand how effectively and persistently these devils can wind up incorporated into the machines around us and can be so blatantly accepted by those viewing the beast with admiration now presently classified as humans presently with us. Don't lay your throat back and open your wallet wide as u can and believe everything your told give yourself some credit, stand on your own 2 feet, understand that monsters, devils are REAL and it's only a little common sense engineering is simple.
A goat knows it all, and so can't be taught, is proud. a sheep meanwhile listens. he asks questions, he is malleable, humble. I didn't teach the air foil to behave, I got an idea, built it, flew it, tested it, asked it questions, and IT taught me what not to do and while meanwhile it taught me where to point. the key is to ask questions - ask them on your bike, modify, experiment and listen. your concept of a beautiful bike is not necessarily a good one. It's very simple - on an aircraft, the plane MUST be balanced about 28 parts of a hundred aft of the leading edge of a wing where it connects to fuselage (provided wing juts out with no sweep) , (and if there is sweep, further back still) (basically u want a single engine plane balanced right were the guy sits, and that is why engineers put him THERE to begin with) u cannot lie to thee air flowing around u.
I did not figure this law out, on paper, I just built a plane, threw it out, and the plane told me what it wanted to do. Ask questions, listen. have to get the question right - hmmmm, what if i make this thing tail heavy? being self taught, re inventing the wheel is just stupid. but today it has become mandatory because thee earth is haunted and we be out numbered.
On a bicycle, it is no diff then a plane other then the balance point should typically, at least can be, further back and closer to midway such as when cornering especially - and formula 500 motorcycle racers are the most guilty of nailing that icon and in intricate detail - they are flying on thee edge of meltdown and as such you will notice when cornering they all seem to be shifting their bodies and gravitating to the same EXACT truth and inevitable sweet spot. Demons are not very good at lying on a race track..
On a bicycle or car, mid balance or nose heavy is desirable. On an air plane, nose heavy is fine. Even very nose heavy is flyable. but tail heavy??? that's when you die. period. cannot be done, impossible and tail heavy bikes meanwhile can and WILL pull you out into traffic even on just a straight to say nothing of what happens when you attempt to maneuver - they want to corkscrew, they get wiggly. scooters getting wiggly at speeds that's just mandatory with the smaller wheels.
ALSO WITH BIKES WE NEED TO ACTIVATE THE FRONT BRAKE AND NOT FLIP THE MACHINE OVER , so a bike, unlike a plane, should probably be balanced, beginning aft of the ideal 28 percent from the nose and or wing rule. (when viewed from the side, a CONVENTIONAL airplane will be balanced about 28 percent aft of the nose whether pertaining to either the fuse OR the wing) But on a bike we do not factor in any wings, and still we must also corner, and brake vs with the more critical airplane.
The bible tells us broad is the road of insanity, narrow is the path of the Staber washing machine" In washing machines, it is easy to spot the eyes of the sun being the Everest Staber washing machine design here now being built by some rational human who was, apparently, "rebelling" among us.... I do wish I could find such a machine in scooters, but for now full fairing 300cc storage compartment scootering contraptions are definitely the present world leaders in motorizing 2 hoops and carrying things efficiently and practically down the rd. I already know EXACTLY what i want - just need someone to build it. oh those demons are so effective at making me stand out as the bicycling king of kings of thee internet - demons are beyond stupid in sitting around figure out better ways to inevitably hand cuff, kill and abyss themselves... but then this is good.
Insanity? yes definitely. It is alive and well even now as we speak if a blind leads a blind, both of them will fall into a pit and this has to stop. look only to those rear saddle bags on light weight touring bicycles. insane. Look only to those high trunks mounted on Honda Gold wings which is fine because of the front end MASS. but. Take the heavy front fairing off the gold wing and leave the rear saddle bags and trunk on filled to capacity and boom you have the recipe for disaster.
becomes immediately obvious when a bike is UN balanced - to find if your bike is tail heavy its very simple just wiggle the bars back and forth whether moving or stationary. Immediately you will notice the whole frame will flex like a piece of very soft spaghetti the minute the bike starts getting tail heavy. Extremely dangerous, and when steering the bike suddenly will have a mind all its own very vague. Can break your frame too closest i came to dying on a bike via an automobile happened some 6 times in the span of one week when I was carrying heavy items on the rear rack - the bike kept getting pulled out onto traffic such as in a wind buffet or avoiding a pot hole.
WARNING: don't remove the heavy fairing on your already tail heavy scooter!! meanwhile zoom forward to the Everest of engineering in the bicycle populace and your are left with the BICYCLE MESSENGERS. of course! and theeese guys will teach u how to carry stuff on a bike - NOSE HEAVY. A typical bike will accept 45 lbs on the front. Any more and you can flip over when applying the front brake. After 30 - 45 lbs you must start to add the lbs on the back. I have done 70 lbs front, but very very dangerous and this is just to illustrate where the boundaries generally are.
Bike messengers employ a PORTEUR, it is just a flat, low as possible steel framed platform that you can rest any size box onto it. THIS IS GOOD - VERY GOOD because this is a world of big boxes. but that will hurt aerodynamics!! Right?? WRONG. Based on what the air teaches us about a SPHERE AND A CONE, we can understand you will not penalize a scooter aerodynamically to any great extent via thee addition of a portuer ahead of your fairing (i bleev that's a french word, porteur) and you will be on the path to solving the tail heavy issues the scooters are secretly suffering from presently what with the motor in back, heavy dual shocks waaaay back, trunk in back, saddle bags in back, and underseat storage in back, loooong swingarm in back, and ....uh oh, motor in back too,,, aaaaaaaaand gas tank. in back. not good.
the solution is simple 1 use bigger and wider is good wheels, bolt all parts as far forward as possible.
2 don't make it tail heavy, solve this with a front platform rack just above the front wheel, snug against the front steering stem, your fairing may now engulf the porteur and form a compartment to put stuff in.
3 taper the rear storage compartments so air can smooth out better in back, reducing your drag substantially. educate the public to carry heavy stuff in front, light stuff in back, teach them how to do the wiggly handlebar test. Place headlight ahead of porteur = do not engineer a bike only to look a certain way and think oh i can't mount a porteur, the light will be in the way do not become a victim to beauty.
What needs to be done is (wheels can be much less diameter on a motorcycle vs bike because they are much heavier then a bicycle wheel) add a porteur platform rack in front, start bolting parts to it that u removed from the rear end, use at least a 14 rear wheel and 15 front (wheelbase is monstrous on a scooter cuz it factors back in stability that was (somehow?) lost where both CG is ignored, coupled with too small wheels are employed, thus making for a heavier, flexible motorbike thee engineers must attempt to tame with a too long wheelbase, = flexible and vague handling heavy, tail heavy machine

oh wow it's a downsize of the latest design flagship rocketa mc-18-500 and that's gonna be both good and bad news because neither the 500 or the 250 "18 series" can be found anywhere in google that (i) was able to locate so, this macine is only rare now presently. but no it does not have 14 inch rims actually. It has 14 inch rear rim with a 15 in front (if you read further down in the specs.)
It's listed initially with rear drum, but later it states discs front and back and in the picture it has dual disc in front and disc in the back so apparently it has an over engineered chassis taken from the 500 and probably has oversize forks too, 41mm forks not a bad thing and it's a newest design. i have never seen a scooter in this class with front dual disc brakes before, seems like overkill other then I like the thought it will only increase the giroscope and keep the weight balanced from left to right.
It does appear to have the same fairing as the 500 and it looks ALOT like a police bike in the white color when viewed from the front. not sure if that is a good thing, it might prove handy in keeping the guy ahead of you going slower on the freeway, or keeping EVERYONE going slower around u for that matter. not sure why the fuel tank is only 1.56 gallon, hope it has belt final and not a chain. well hopefully someone will find some other of these being sold on the net somewhere. I cannot find the 500 being sold at all but for the price i found the 250 type 18 seems to be one of the best machine out there so it's now in my top 5. anyone find anything better let me know
