Getting passed by 50cc's!
« on: August 18, 2016, 10:23:14 PM »
Mine is a 150cc with 10.3 hp, theirs is a 50cc with like 1 or 2 horsepower, I know they are easily modifyable but come on, it's just frustrating that the cheap garbage Chinese mopeds can reach 60+ and maintain that speed while I can barely do 58mph, honestly is there anything I can do to help my scooter or no, kymco needs to beef up the engines on these things like Honda does?

Are you literally getting passed by 50cc scooters?

They would have been de-restricted and screaming their heads off to get to that speed.  Don't think that their engines would last as long as yours. (but I could be wrong)

All the time, I live in Hawaii and everybody drives the cheap crap modified mopeds, they pass me and somehow maintain 60+, an exhaust, uni filter, and a few other small mods can't possibly take it from a 35mph max to over 55mph can it?

Not likely. Chances are the have a lot of cash and work involved to make those scooters go that fast. And they still have a cheap Chinese scooter. My advice is, if you want a faster scooter, go buy one. It will be cheaper for you in the long run.
