General Discussion / Re: Dealer prep
« on: December 17, 2012, 04:38:04 PM »
  I bought an Agility for $1000,wound up costing me @ $1500.  I found a dealer in Erie PA who said I should buy my next Super8 from Him ,there are no extra costs.I called my dealer in PGH and asked if they could match the price and waive the destination fee and dealer prep and He said they would.....wonder why they charged Me all those fees in the first place...I will still make the 2 hour trip to Erie anyway for their honest business practices

General Discussion / good buy?
« on: October 15, 2012, 08:39:47 PM »
 Hi,I just found a 2009 people 150 for sale with 6000 miles on it and was wondering if you guys think that's a good deal. (1300 dollars). Is that a lot of miles for one of these? Anything I should look out for? And what kind of speed can I expect by myself (200 lbs) or with my wife as a passenger(150 lbs) Anything you can tell me would be helpful.......Thank you....Dale

 Hi, I just found a people 150 with 6000 miles for 1300 dollars and it seems to be in great shape...my question is,is this a good buy? is that too many miles(its a 2009).is there any thing I should look out for? The only other scooter I ever owned was an Agility 50 and I just got my license and am moving up to a bigger scoot.And how fast will it go(I'm 200 lbs) Thank you for responding....Dale

Agility 125 / Re: New Topics (for me anyway): Spark Plugs and Gas
« on: February 25, 2012, 04:59:57 PM »
My Agility came with a champion plug and I replaced it with an NGK expecting better performance but got none. As far as it being better or lasting longer I don't know but I will continue to use them because it's only a few dollars more every few years and there may be benefits I have'nt realized yet.I really don't think the oil you use matters as long as you change it every 1500-2000 kilometers.I haven't had any oil or plug related issues but if I do you guys will be the first to know.I get a lot of helpful info from you guys and respect ALL of your opinions.  Thank you all and I will continue to look at you guys for info and inspiration...Dale

Agility 50 / Re: 2008 for my son.
« on: February 11, 2012, 01:47:24 PM »
Notching the CDI is the simplest thing to do and replacing the drive boss to a smooth one is very simple also ( you will need to borrow an impact wrench tho ).Other than that and maybe an #82 main jet is all you can do to improve speed.You will have people on here telling you to replace this and that but dont bother. I've done it all and frustrated the hell out of myself for almost no gain. These 50cc scoots are for enjoyment so dont let it become an obsession to reach an unreachable speed. Happy scooting and we'll see you around the forums I'm sure.....Dale    P.S. I'll be moving up to the Agility 125 forum as soon as the weather breaks

Agility 125 / passenger
« on: January 22, 2012, 10:00:28 PM »
  Is the Agility 125 powerful enough to carry a passenger around locally or would the Super 8 150 make much more difference? I'm leaning toward the ag 125 because of price but don't want to buy one and find out too late that it won't carry us ( combined weight of 320 lbs )  Thank you  Dale

General Discussion / AG 125 or Super8 ?
« on: January 21, 2012, 06:46:41 PM »
I have an Agility 50 now and just took the safety program and got my license. I want to get a scoot just slightly bigger but big enough to ride my wife around the city.Is there much difference between the Super8 150 and the Agility 125 when carrying passengers? I really don't want a real big scoot or I would just get a motorcycle and I prefer the AG 125 if it's big enough for 2 ppl ( me 190lbs..her 130 lbs ). Most time I will be riding solo....what do you guys think?  and thank you for responding  Dale

Agility 50 / Re: Verbal Diarrhgnonis
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:12:09 PM »
I bought a new Agility 50 last year and I cut the cdi,smooth boss,race variator,iridium plug and all that jazz too and I'm lucky to hit 40 mph on the flats. I truly beleive thats all you're gonna get out of the thing so I would'nt drive myself crazy listening to all these people claiming to get 57-60 mph out of their scoots. I usually cruise at 35-40 mph and I learned to live with it,going up hills is embarrassing,acceleration is kinda slow and it is a hard start when it gets cold.Thats just the way these Agility 50s are I suppose.It would drive me crazy reading about all these people laying rubber and pulling wheelies but occasionally some will tell you the truth that it's running and doing what it was made to do. DONT BUY THE HYPE and learn to enjoy what you have or move up to a bigger scoot.

Agility 125 / Re: 125cc or 150cc
« on: October 13, 2011, 12:05:46 AM »
  In the spring I'm gonna be trading in my Agility 50 for either a Super 8 (150cc) or an Agility 125. Pricewise the Agility 125 is the better deal but if there is a big performance difference I would spring for the 150. I would like to hear peoples opinions on this also,not just the DUH! its bigger comments.  Thank you

Technical | How To / Re: any mod ideas??????????
« on: October 09, 2011, 06:02:24 PM »
Hi Bob  Any mod ideas?...just one...don't.  I bought my Agility 50 a year and a half ago and all I was concerned about was going a little faster. It already had smooth drive boss and cut CDI ( those are the only 2 I agree with ) I spent a lot of time and money to get a little more speed but nothing really made any difference. I wish I wouldn't have stressed so much and enjoyed what I had instead of constantly trying to gain an unreachable speed. 3 months ago I got my motorcycle license but I learned to enjoy my Agility 50 so I haven't bought a bigger scoot yet...and maybe I won't. I average 35-40 MPH and for what I need my scoot for it's just right. If you feel you need more speed then I suggest a bigger scoot...you will only aggravate yourself otherwise for maybe 2 more MPH.   Please consider this advice and I'm sure you'll do whats best for you.   Dale

Agility 50 / Re: need to achieve high speed
« on: September 10, 2011, 11:11:53 PM »
I have the derestricted boss,cut cdi,5.5gr rollers,race variator,iridium plug and only 1700 km on my agility and on the flats my speedo only shows 42 mph on my best days and most times have a hard time reaching 40. I've been on this forum for a year now trying to get advice but nothing I do wont gain me any more speed. I never tried changing the torque spring and I don't think the belt should be worn yet. I just got my bike license so when I get money I'll be getting an agility 125,shame tho because all I really need is about 45-50 mph and I would be just fine. I stressed over this too long and I'm just trying to help anyone else from stressing too much,if you crave speed move up to a bigger bike. Good luck and I'll be seeing you around the forums.

Agility 50 / Re: need to achieve high speed
« on: September 09, 2011, 10:11:41 PM »
I did all the usual derestrictions ,smooth boss,cut cdi,iridium plug and the most I could do on a good day and a long stretch was 42 mph. I then sent for a race variator and gained no speed whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and don't buy into the hype of 50+ mph,it just doesn't happen. I fell for those stories and drove myself crazy for about a year and found out in that time from scooter shops and forums that no one is truly getting 50 mph and I have a hard time beleiving 45 mph although that may be possible. Try to be happy with what you have or get a bigger scoot....stay stress free

You gotta tell us the story so we know what to avoid. Wish you a speedy recovery.

Super 8 150 / moving on up
« on: August 01, 2011, 08:28:41 PM »
 Hi, I've had an agility 50 for 2 summers now and recently got my motorcycle license,now it's time to move up to a faster scoot. I love the looks of the super8 and want to get one soon. Can you guys give me the good and bad points of owning one? How fast can I expect it to reach on flat surfaces and steep hills? Is there much maintanance on these? Any advice you can give me,GOOD and BAD will be very helpful.   Thank You   DALE
