If your going to go that far might as well take out the two engine bolts and put on a big bore kit

I have never took my scooter on the interstate 70 mph zone either and don't plan to, even if i had a 250cc id be too afraid to take the plastic light bike on the 70 mph interstate. i have rode on 55 zones where there's not much traffic or semi's but mainly i think scooters are for in town commutes. These things don't weigh enough to be passed by semi's and going that fast on a plastic machine for long travels for long periods of time seems dangerous at for me.

My first china bike my tapout scoot had many problems at the beginning as why I joined the original scootdawg forum. If you don't want to replace most the parts sooner or later get a quality scoot. I buy china bikes and replace nearly every part besides the plastic so I got a 150 that I liked the looks on and put the parts I wanted in it. I believe its reliable and I don't worry that it will strand me but I could of got a quality brand bike for less than the parts I put in my china bike. I like to mod them its most of the fun for me. I would be bored if I bought something that didn't need taken apart. I replaced all the parts from the start and recently replaced the piston kit and head at 600 miles just because, probably will get bored by the end of the coming summer and replace the motor parts again. Went from a no name 60mm kit to a 61mm ncy probably will eventually get the case bored or buy a new engine casing and do a 63mm taida forged piston kit and a stroker crankshaft. The parts are cheap even the name brand stuff on the cheap china scoots. After I'm totally done the only parts that came on the scoot originally will be the plastic and the wiring.

I have had many china bikes and they have done me good but I replace all the cheap parts at under 10 miles including the motor. I think a china bike can last thousands of miles stock if you do the maintenance in a timely manner oil changes etc. Change the oil when you get it make sure it has a gates belt in it or get one you'll be fine. I paid 1129 for my bike shipped and I love it.

Depends if you have the skills to work on it if it breaks down or needs maintenance if your good with tools a china bike is fine if not you'll need to put more money in it and get a brand name bike Honda,vespa,buddy,kymco,sym,or at least a bms.

My modded 150 is actually overkill for what I do almost all the roads I go on are under 40 mine will do well over 40 up steep hills. My modded 50 was sufficient but struggled to keep up on steep hills is why I got the 150. I like that I can cruise around town at very little throttle less stress on the motor where as with my modded 50 I had it wide open on any incline. If you want to go on the highway go with 250cc and bigger I have rode the highway many times on my 150 but had to have it wide open the whole way it keeps up fine in 55 zones I wouldn't attempt to take it on the 70 mph interstate.

I have worked on many scooters that have been stolen and recovered some even delivered with police escorts. Most show up with destroyed ignitions or the wiring harness chopped up in a horrible fashion or both. As why I have a high torque starter a powerful battery and a disabled kickstarter with a hidden alarm that won't start the bike even with the igntion drilled out.
