Just before Christmas I bought a 09 People 50 2 stroke 2nd hand from the original owner ~2500 miles on it. She runs like a clock. I weight 260 add another 10 lbs. for clothes. It pulls me with no problem and has power to spare. It'll run 35 and get there pretty quick. I plan on adding a storage crate so I can carry different stuff (groceries, lunch box, trips to the auto store, beach bag, lap top, etc.) Also I just bought the accessory buddy seat off eBay for $30.00
. I don’t plan on riding it with my wife as the 2nd passenger but I think the bike will pull me and a small child with no problem. I do plan on getting a little more top end by changing the drive boss. Hope to reach 40mph and I'll be happy
, It runs so good I hate to change anything else. The reason I bought a 50cc was because I liked the idea of not having to register it with DMV, state tags etc. but like the original poster I had concerns about it pulling a big boy. Let me tell ya, it’s pulling about 300lbs and sounds strong. I've only driven it a few hours as our VA weather has been quite cold. If (and I seriously don't think it will) she blows up this spring from the extra tonnage I'm out no money and can probably part it out for what I paid. Besides I started my life style eating change again after New Year and hope to be couple of lb's lighter by spring. If you buy one I think you'll be satisfied
