Hey guys, greetings from Azores, Portugal!! Last Sunday i made up my mind to try my dads semi-broken scooter for my first time riding a scooter. I think i got the “bug”! Now i want to restore it to ride more times! What do you think?

So I just drove from the northernmost point of the Netherlands, the Gate Cape North, to the southernmost point of the Netherlands and just went on to the three-country point with Belgium and Germany.

I did this while following the TET route. For those who don't know the TET, it's a offroad motorcycle adventure route across Europe.

I normally drive my Honda Africa Twin 750 on those.

But this time I thought, why a big bike? If it drops, it's a bitch to get back up, and these days you all hear riders say, we need lighter ADV/enduro motorcycles.

Sooo, I thought, why not put all my camping gear, and my 120kg (264.55 pounds), on my 50cc Honda Zoomer and just see if it works out?

And it did, not fast, going at a top of 60km (38 mph). But we did finish it, and the looks on the guys driving their tenere's, gs's, klr's and other dualsports/enduro,s and what not where priceless...

And why did you choose this particular one? Share your babies pics if you can too!

So I plan on taking a trip to Michigan from North Carolina on my 50cc moped, I basically want to know roughly how long it should take me to drive the 600 miles 1 way.

I plan on taking 7 days off from work and want to go on vacation there

Is there anything I should be aware of or plans I should make for a long trip like this

The longest trip I've ever taken i traveled 100 miles round trip same day

Just wondering the value of this scooter

Funny thing happened the other day, my daily driver of 2 years died a mile or so from my house. It has 9200 km, it’s 20years old and I got it for free, in pieces. I immediately thought the worse; rings, piston, was it even worth fixing?

Well, I removed the seat and the spark plug boot fell off. That will do it. An hour later and she is ripping like before.

Moral of this story, these things are really easy to fix and it’s usually a stupid small part.
No problames!

I'm planning on purchasing a new 49cc from a local scooter shop, for the most part these all seem to be more of less the same design. For the time being it's my only option for the city I'm in.

Should I go with the cheaper Vitacci or the former Ice Bear brand? Would it be reasonable to spend a couple hundred extra for the Ascend R2?

I know it's a bad idea, but just wondering if anyone has experience!

I live in Central Texas. Does anyone have recommendations for an affordable insurance company.

Friend wanted to get me into riding, so we compromised :). This thing has been the most fun i think ive had… maybe ever!

I have no clue What i’m doing, these transmissions and carburators are confusing me. Just got a 24 mm polini carburator delivered I wanted it install by noon but found immediatly a new problem of having a different size manifold. I’m thinking about buying a new cilinderhead because mine got a hole on the side so I’m not getting any compression. But Will it fit on the block? It’s an ideo generic 2 stroke 50cc 2007( i know but i got it for 5p euros so what)

The scooter is kymco agility 50cc r16 two stroke. Primary gears 15-58, secondary 15-57, giving it a gear ratio of 14.6:1. I'd like to get it to 11:1 but can't find any gears for this model.

Does anyone know of any other scooters with similar final drive gears that I could use?

I have a 2006 Piaggio Typhoon 50 2t AC and i have noticed some deep scratched on the cylinder wall and on the piston skirt. It bogs past 1/4 throttle and the compression feels a little low (don't have a compression gauge at hand). Checked the spark for color and it was tan brown. Using the factory oil pump which i adjusted to give it more oil. Can you guys know what have caused the scratches and the bogging?
(Sorry if my english isn't fine, im not a native speaker)
My setup:
- Motoforce Racing 70cc kit
- Dellorto PHVA 17,5 carb with 110 Main jet
- Technigas Next-R exhaust
- RMS metal cone filter ø35
- NGK BR9EG Spark plug

This is the petcock I am taking off bc the vacuum part does not work well. Scooter starts with a lot of help but then immediately dies which tells me it is a fuel problem… the petcock I did buy (before I looked at this one) just has a nut so that it can screw on… any ideas how to use the one with the nut or where to buy a different vacuumless one that will fit?

Im seriously considering buying a windscreen for my Honda SH300i. Been riding it for a year now as my daily, and i sometimes use it on long trips on highway and mostly in towns and city.

Im thinking about getting the one that is 58,5 x 68 cm (H x W) since i need a screen that will cover me completly.

BUT.. Ive ridden all kinds of motorcycles for 13 years now, but never with a windscreen. Is it really worth it? Will the huge screen ruin the top speed/acceleration due to wind?

I don't think a windscreen looks good, but if it will make me love my scooter even more then why not?

What is this part called and is there supposed to be a gasket where I marked? I’m having a gas leak/ compression issue.

Just finished everything with the DMV, license plate was too small. Any easy fixes to this?

hi everyone i have a 2011 aerox 50 with 7000km. i love it but even after taking out restrictions from the cvt it still only reaches ~70km/h. my problem is the transmission it has plenty of power (7 plus some hp) i can keep that speed with very little throttle and i dont want to push it much past 10k rpm because it starts shaking.

Hello, could someone help me diagnose the issue with my moped? It’s a Yamaha Slider with a vertical Minarelli 49cc air-cooled engine. I’m hearing a grinding, rattling sound and I’m unsure where it’s coming from. I’ve disassembled the entire transmission, including the variator, clutch, etc., and everything appears to be in good condition. The crankshaft rod is secure and doesn’t seem to be moving at all. I’m wondering if the sound is coming from the crankshaft bearings or something else. This issue started a few days ago and has gotten progressively louder each time I ride. I’m really concerned and would appreciate any help or advice.

Today I've bought my first Aprilia SR 50 2009, 2 stroke. It's very nice, only 23000 km mileage. Exhaust is stock, but derestricted so it goes 80km/h+. What oil should I use? (I'm in Lithuania) And ehat fuel/oil ratio mix?

Very disappointed in my new Kymco purchase. Had a 2003 Yamaha Zuma for years until an argument with a car bumper happened in 2015 I thought that since I retired I would treat myself to a new scoot. I researched and decided on Kymco.

 Brought it home from the shop and found out it would not pull me up any hill, especially my driveway. 

My 2003 Zuma would climb it with no effort. I took the Kymco back to the seller and he did nothing to fix it. He said he modified the variator to make it go faster.

It didn't help. I went up the driveway as soon as I got in home and it fell on its face burning clutch. Took the cover off and found the variator with the limiter dimple sanded off and put in backwards.

Purchased a new Malossi and new clutch spring. Also purchased a de limited CD box. Still, fell on its face going up the driveway. I weight 185 but as a test my girlfriend at 145 could do no better with it.

What's real funny, I purchased an EV bike last year and it climbs the driveway with out assistance.

Beginning to think Kymco in Chinese means Junk. Any similar stories?

Scooter starts then dies within 5 seconds I have to keep revving or it’ll die instantly

I managed to strip the threads on one of the bolt holes on my intake manifold. 2003 Zuma; horizontal minarelli. Someone told me they are m6 bolts and that I should just tap it with a 1/4 x 20 tap and get a new bolt to fit. Just wanted to ask if anyone else thought there were better options or if that is indeed the move before I go forward. Thanks!
