Options For Modifying A 49cc Scooter

I think I would go for one of those 100cc kits and then get a bigger carb. Open up of the exhaust. 40mph should be easy then.

I swapped out the muffler, re-jetted the carb, changed to a low restriction air filter and added a performance CDI to my buddy's four stroke 50cc scooter. It easily travels at 40mph on level grade.

The 100c kit should do 40mph uphill.

The yellow taotao I worked on would do an indicated 45. I don't think it really was going 45 though. I did install a new carb on it.

The one I worked on had a catalytic converter in the muffler. Dumping that and the AIR device helps. I may have chosen a slow jet that's a little fat though; it's turned all the way in to idle properly.

That muffler looks just like the one I cut apart. Notice how the outlet pipe is much smaller than the inlet, and I bet there's a cat hiding in there. The pipe I used doesn't look performance oriented (which is exactly the idea), but it's stock on a 200cc ATV.

Ah-ha! Well then, Weldy, I'll take a lesson and use your scenario as a tutorial and rectify the problem.

What is the status on the scooter?

Scooters are easy to ride after you get use to the quick steering and little wheels.

Yes, I'm sure not much could be easier.....it's just the idea of being out on these country roads, on this little teeny thing, where occasional cars will be whipping by at 60MPH that's kinda scary.

I really wish I had gotten one of these back when on Long Island and/or Queens... Now THAT would have been a blast!

I've been yearning to get a bicycle, too- a nice road bike....but there's no way I'm going up the long up-hill grades on my road at 10MPH....I could just picture some distracted meth-head on his cell phone coming up over the crest of the hill and flattening me. At least if I can go up the grade at 30MPH or so on a scooter, it might not be TOO bad. (The good news is: Once I get off of my two-lane state highway, all the other roads are narrower country roads where cars can't do much more than 40- it's just the few miles I have to do on my road to get to those other roads that worries me. I mean, there's not much traffic...but that occasional car careening along at 60MPH is just kinda scary- and there are no shoulders or anywhere to go...)

If you MUST be in that situation may I suggest a good dork vest?
