So far I like LAIN's answer, but I don't understand it. Replace the CVT. That's the tranny? Or the clutch? He says I should get a UNI, but what is a UNI? Eunuch But a eunuch has no balls? The jets thing is fine. A whole set of them is cheap, and a 72BBK is cheap. Thanks for the link itistheride.boards.net/thread/8603/scooter-45mph-easy-taotao-genuine?page=1#ixzz3l0YHULFG big time. I want to just toss a couple hundred at an ATM50, but small 72CC or such so it will last a while. I really don't want a 150. The last bike I got rid of was a 2 year old Ninja 250 SE in Green. I want a 50cc that can do 45mph on a flat surface with no wind. But 48 wouldn't hurt. -Joe |

You only get a notification if they like your post, quote it, or tag you. No notifications for replies. I don't know why.
That's almost sad. This forum looks pretty, but it looks like it's missing some SERIOUS features.

Taotao ATM50's BBK and taller gears...... Or if you do not want to violate the 50cc rule new exhaust better carb taller gears port matched and polished. No matter what something has to be removed added or swapped out violating a warranty. Smearing snake oil all over wont make it go faster, but it will not violate a warranty either. I don't mind a BBK on a cheap ATM50. Heck, that's what they are made for right? I'd only do a 72CC or so just because I want it to last a couple years. What's taller gears? A variator thing? Around here officers won't check out your scooter unless you are like doing wheelies, running with no muffler, or 10MPH over the speed limit. I'm an old man. I'll put a "Free Donuts for Cops!" bumper sticker on the back  Or maybe "Gay policeman are sexy!", That will keep them away from me LOL - Joe |

Never mind. I fingered it out. There's like a Notifications thing when you click yourself. But the one I needed was under my Profile Settings. TYVM. Is this ProBoard stuff really free? It's not to shabby. How's the spam defences?

Just what the title says. I keep logging back in, clicking myself, look for threads started. I just want to get an email when I get a reply to one of the brain dead topics I started.

Genuine Roughhouse isn't cheap, but is 2 stroke and will be kinda good after de-restricting without doing a BBK and other warranty destroying things. They are even offering a 3 year warranty free this month. But they are like $2,200 or more.....booo! On the other hand I can pick up new Taotao ATM50's for $650 + tax here locally. I could buy 3 of them for the same price, or 1 and add $350 in mods for 1/2 the price of the Roughhouse. I want the 50cc for Michigan's "mopeds don't require insurance, a title, a license plate
or a helmet" rules. But I do want to putt down some 40mph-45mph roads and not get run over. What are my options? Or am I just retarded? I have a lot of rice rocket tools, but I'm not that much of a grease monkey. After a 6-pack and a couple YouTube videos I think I'm a great mechanic as long as I stay in front of the computer.

I also found a Genuine dealer near me. www.caferacerypsi.com/scooters So do any of the Lance or Genuine use a normal 139qmb engine? I'd like to buy a decent one. Then again I'm sooo tempted to get a cheap Taotao for half the price and soup it up. Thanks for the ideas guys. This is almost funny.

I want to get a scoot, 50cc is the limit here in Michigan for cheap riding. But I want something I can hmmmm tweak a bit with a bore kit to take it up to 45MPH or so. I see Bintelli uses a BN139QMB. Is this a plain generic engine that any normal kit will work on? I'm not sure what Lance uses. Bintelli and Lance are the only two models sold by my local decent dealer. www.grandrapidsscooter.us I'm not sure I want to order onlilne unless I can get support for it locally. Well, parts yes, entire bike no. Can you point me in the right direction? I've been reading a LOT, but only enough to get confused. I'm old, and have a lot of tools, but I don't know much about engines. - Joe |
