My alarm system is not altra sensitive toward a simple wind.. Mine is not sensitive to rain neither. It does go off, exactly like the alarm on the video. My wife's alarm is sensitive to wind, a dog barking, ect.. It went off 5 times in 4 minutes. The on off switch on her's might be compromised( she has a 250 Rebel and is fitted in a box on it, but the on off button might be hitting on the box). It was a tight fit.. Mine doesn't go off, unless moved from kickstand position to standing position or one bumping it. But it is only $9.15 with free shipping. Can't expect to much, for the price. They have them Chinese workers, slaving to please us..lol

Yesterday, I rode into Jefferson City to Binder Lake.. It rode fine, but as the temperature outside( 81 degrees) well the engine on my 250 scooter, gets hotter. Humidity has something to do with it also. More humidity, the hotter it gets. But I took a 15 miles ride, got traveling 70 mph( full throttle) because was on a 70 mph Expressway. It was fun. Didn't quite hit the redline, but was close. It ran like a champ though. Runs better in cool weather.. I can ride it in cool weather for 200 miles without giving it a break. Than a little later, I saw 3 motorcycles on the side of the highway- giving bikes a break. Now it could be I need different sizes of needles in carb or just needing to adjust it. Anytime one has to open full throttle, the engine will get hotter. Going 55 mph, it stays cool still. Attachments:

Ya, why I like little 50cc scooters in general, is they don't have to be registered nor insured, in the State of Missouri. That if I end up in accident( say it is my fault) my homeowners insurance will cover the damage done to my vehicle and the other guys vehicle too. If it isn't my fault, well the other guys insurance will cover it.  The reason why homeowners insurance covers 50cc mopeds, is because it is consider a motorized bicycle verses motorcycle by Missouri. Well a motorized bicycle or 50cc scooter, you can tow a bicycle trailer. You can go camping- load up a bicycle trailer and go. I rode my 250cc scooter today. Rode 30 miles on a 70 mph highway across the Missouri River bridge if Jefferson City MO.. It is fun too, but want something to get around on when working on the larger scooter. |

www.roketa.com/product/2610/0/59565.shtmlHere is the Roketa style moped. Looks pretty exactly like the Kinetic moped, without the peddals. Except this has a hi and low gear like the motorbike. No clutch so it is semi automatic- meaning it is still automatic. Right foot brake and right hand brake. Gear shifts on leftside on foot- hi is up-low is all the way down- and neutral is in the middle. And of course, kickstart and electric. Max speed 31 mph on level surface. I am one whom loved gears to shift- say one is traveling up a steep hill, well hi gear starts bogging down as it climbs, thus all one has to do is down shift into low and continue climbing. An automatic strains more to climb steep hills because there is one speed. www.tomosusa.com/pages/model/stHere is the model you are talking about. They are similar in style..Roketa has a little of everything. 3 different moped style scooters..

I hear the Honda Shops charge $75 per hour to work on scooters- in general.. So you might be ahead, to tune it up yourself and save money. ;D Attachments:

Honda's are very reliable.. I liked the Kymco Downtown 300i but now my favorite scooter is the Honda Forza 300.. The Forza goes 86 mph+ verses the Kymco at  mph.. I feel Honda is a better over all scooter, made by Japan than the Kymco made by South Korea. Honda has there 300 listed at $5600 and Kymco at $5700. Honda engine size is 279cc verses Kymco at 299cc. Both liquid cooled. But again, the 2014 Honda Forza is listed on the Honda websites. |

That is cool. I have been thinking of buying the Roketa MC-114A 50- it looks like the pedal type, but has pegs instead. Has a kickstart and electric, hi and low gear, semi automatic so has no clutch. They run $750 shipped. Not to bad.. Be my sidekick when working on my 250cc scooter. A 50cc scooters in Missouri, one don't need to register it nor insure it. It is considered a motorized bicycle verses a motorcycle, so it is insured under the homeowners policy, like a bicycle. It does take a regular car drivers license to operate one, but cops never bother mopeds, unless they are doing something wrong( like not wearing protective gear, riding drunk, ect..Well I hope you like you Tomo TS Moped..
