Ok, Did some more digging and found a model # on archive.orgArchive from 03 of QingQi Chinese Site
 Translated Version
Ok, so it appears to be a 2003 QingQi KF50QZK(L) Tricycle. In the specs it says it's rated to carry (LOL) 160 kg or 308 Lbs. Does that include the weight of the scooter itself? A poor lil' 49cc two-stroke could only carry that on a smooth surface, downhill, with the wind at it's back. |

Hey Guys, I got a scooter off a guy on craigslist who was giving it away with Title. So far I know it's a two-stroke, 50cc Trike form 2003 with a rear chain transmission. It appears to be a "QuingQI" brand chinese scooter with what I believe is a D1E41QMB02 Engine, and no handbrake/shifter, etc. So it's in pretty rough shape body-wise, but I have experience repairing fiberglass and bodywork/painting, and everything appears to be there so I'm not very worried about that aspect. Now, the engine appears to start and run, although rough. I will post some images to see if anyone here has ever seen one of these? It just looks so bizarre.    Anyone have any experience repairing rebuilding one of these? I didn't keep the motor running very long, just enough to make sure it was starting and revving. Like I said, it sounded rough. |

Hello guys and gals, I just discovered this forum because I stumbled onto a free scooter on craigslist, and I am now knee-deep in the world of Chinese Scooters, thanks to some Google-Fu and a great post about decoding VIN (World Manufacturer info Codes) posted on this boards previous incarnation.
It's a three-wheel scooter with a passenger bench seat behind the driver, and it's in some rough shape. The guy gave it away because it's been sitting under a tarp for 6 years. I'm in Florida, so you can imagine what six years in avg. 80% humidity does to metal. Luckily, the motor turns, and even starts.
I have experience repairing and restoring cars and some engine repair, but this thing is literally in pieces. I got the title though, so after a lil elbow grease I figure it'll be a nice ride for my kid who needs something to get to Starbucks and back.
I'm glad to have found this forum since I'm more of a car-guy, but any advice (starting with where I should post some questions about this monster) is appreciated.
Thanks!
