From what I've gathered from multiple Taiwanese suppliers, is that there are 175cc, 200cc and 250cc engines that will bolt in with little or no modification.
Here's what I'm looking at as a possible swap:

The red top is a racing motor... great if your building a truly nimble, mini Cafe Racer. However, if you do go with the bigger motors, I would highly recommend that you stretch the bike's wheelbase... MNNTHBOX has what you'll need for that mod. In addition, with the 250cc, you'll need to modify the top mount.

These guys have been very helpful and have great stuff for the Spade.

I hope you get one...they are a blast!! And it sure would be nice to have another member on the board who's interested in modding their Spade.
Good luck!!

What is on MNNTHBOX website that could help with a wheelbase extension? I have been on his site many times while debating on the spade and have never seen anything on an extended swingarm or the likes
Because if there really is a possibility to get a bigger engine, larger wheels and a longer swingarm would really help in deciding to get a Spade and modifing it down the road.
