Taotao Hellcat owners?
I don’t see much talk on here about the taotao hellcat. Any one have one or know much about them?

I have one, pretty much bought it for a project. I'm having a lot of fun modding it. They are great lil bikes for the money. So far i did an exhaust upgrade, fender delete, mikuni vm22 carb, upgraded engine bolts, upgraded swing arm bolt and rear axle.

I also have one. Mine is all stock besides some dielectric grease and loctite. Runs great!

Me to I have one as well :)

What fender delete did you use or did you just cut it? How long did you take you all to get the mco for them? I just built mine and now all I need is the mco. I had tons of bolts loose including the rear sprocket which took awhile to find out since I was chasing a weird sound and turned out to be that. Still getting a lot of noise out of the headlight area cut I think it’s all the plastic vibrating |

I wish I would have just did the dealer route but it would have costed me $650 more total. I’m getting worried I won’t get the mco after all this stuff I’ve been reading on here |
For the engine bolts you want to upgrade to something a lot stronger. What people are using is Class 10.9 bolts.
On the Fuerza (similar if not the same bike), off the top of my head, one of the bolts is a M8-1.25 x 150 mm. I don't remember the other. May have been 130 mm. I'll have to check the blog I'm trying to start up. I have it all written up. If you go to a Fastenal, these bolts are pretty cheap. You can also get them in yellow zinc coating (for corrosion protection). I think the bolts are around $4 each. For vibrating rattling... You can hit a Home Depot or Lowes (or whatever store... Fastenal probably has them too), for neoprene washers. You can slap some of those between the plastice parts and it absorbs some of the vibrations. |
Can you/How do you remove/replace swing arm bolt without taking wheel and swing arm off?

You could probably remove the rear axle and replace it an then use the axle you removed to drive out the swing arm bolt, then tap the new bolt in while driving the axle bolt out. The axle and swing arm bolt are the same part. I also put some grease on the swingarm bolt, the one that it replaced was dry. |
Use a decently tall A-Frame ladder with a ratchet strap... or 2 ladders with a piece of wood on top with a ratchet strap...
Loop the strap over the rear of the bike and ratchet it up. :D |
thanks for the info.
I have a bike stand front and rear type, I will try the bolt knockout idea. Think if i'll mess something up removing the whole swing arm. |
I just got one. Looking for engine upgrades and exhaust. Thinking a 190cc

I've posted a few youtube vids on my bike and the number one question I get is "what is the top speed". For me, if I can cruise 50 mph that is pretty much all I was looking to get. If I wanted something that could cruise 70 mph I would have looked into getting a bigger bike with a bigger engine and bigger wheels. Call me a wuss but I dont really want to go 70 mph on my Hellcat. I can understand wanting more power for doing 2nd and 3rd gear wheelies, and that sort of stuff, but I'm perfectly happy with the 125cc, if just seems to be the right fit for a bike of this size. That's just my opinion. But to each their own. |
