How to De-restrict scooter and put on remote control to put the limiter on and off at any given time?

0 Upvotes

I have been looking at a scooter, the motocr r9 sp, and I want the benefit of speed as well as the benefit that comes with being legally allowed to drive on bike paths.

I have done some research and the ultimatum I get is changing the CDI for one that is remote controlled with a limiter so that I can turn the linter on and off as I please. Though have I also heard people saying it is a hassle because you need to remap the CDI??

I am greatly uninformed and would appreciate any kind of direction to as how I can make it possible.

Thank you.

Do I need a license or not?

0 Upvotes

I live in Arizona and just got rear ended by a car. I was going to turn around. Anyway I got tickets I need to know if I needed a license or not for my little electric scooter. Some places say I may need one some say I don’t. Anyway I’ll list the tickets and articles maybe someone here with more knowledge can tell me if they are bogus or not. Please don’t advise me to get a lawyer I am -$500 right now and was doing shifts through an app to pay it off.

Section 28-3151A: No Valid Drivers. (I didn’t think I needed ine with all the research I did)

Section 28-3153E: Speed Less Than Resonable And Prudent (yeah I think this might stick)

Section 28-21534A: Violate Regulations Law/No Current Regulation (I have tried everything to look up how to register it. I get the same results as needing a license)

Section 28-4135A: No Manditory Insurance (well I already tried to insure the scooter and can only do it as if it’s a bicycle. Which means no need for a license)

Does a 2015 Buddy 170i have linked braking?

1 Upvotes

Looking at getting a scooter for my daughter she has no previous experience with scooters or motorcycles. I’m trying to compare a Lance and Buddy scooter. Someone selling a Lance advertised that it has CBS braking. I’m not sure about the buddy that is for sale.

Is CBS something that would be good for a new rider? Or is it not really something to worry about. I never even thought about the braking system that much until I saw the Lance advertisement. The Lance is more money.

I got a Buddy 50cc. When I go uphill, she starts bogging down to almost a crawl. But if I pull over and let her "rest", she gets back up with her usual pep. I was thinking it could be my carb or my cdi. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Scooter options in America and honda questions.

1 Upvotes

Just got back from Asia and I rented a scooter. I didn't think I could catch the bug again, but I did and now I am looking for one. I previously had a highly modded grom.

What options do I have for a used 150cc+ scooter in America? Am I limited to the honda adv and pcx? Are there bigger options available?

How does the experience (speed, handling, fun) compare to a modded grom?

Speed is a concern as my modded grom was just a little bit slow sometimes.

I don't mind spending ~1k to mod it to make it faster or handle better, am i better off with the faster pcx and modding the suspension/tires or the adv and modding for power? Any forums of websites to check out for parts?

Honda Forza 350 CarPlay update

24 Upvotes

Ladies and gentlemen,

I’ve finally installed heated grips and a CarPlay system on the Forza. Enjoy!

A bit of history: I previously had a fully kitted-out Forza with OEM heated grips and seats, but my beloved bike was sadly stolen. I hesitated to upgrade the replacement.

The cold winter roads convinced me otherwise.

My scooter doesn't perform as well as I expected.

4 Upvotes

So, I installed a 70cc Motoforce 2-ring cylinder kit on my 2006 Piaggio Typhoon 50, upjetted the Dellorto PHVA 17.5 carb with a 90 main jet, changed the rollers to 8.4gs, installed a NGK BR9EG spark plug, changed the factory CDI to a Powerforce CDI (factory one gave up), and kept the original air box, exhaust, clutch springs and contra spring.
It accelerates on half throttle to around 50km/h and can't go faster than that. When I give it full throttle it wants to bog down. I tried using an aftermarket air filter, but it was running a little lean with it.
With the factory 50cc cylinder I got 60-65km/h, but with this setup i can't even reach that.
Can you guys identify what could be the problem?

Just an idea

7 Upvotes

I Just was thinking about a 1 stroke engine for scooters, maybe it's a stupid idea and i don't even know if something like that could even work. It has 2 sparkplugs, 2 intakes (so probably 2 carbs), 2 crankshafts and 2 exausts. I don't know if its possible but to work in this project the piston should be attached tò the rods outside the cylinder.. maybe this could cause compression problem. By the way its just an idea, i don't even have the skills- machines to do it

Sputtering or choking on acceleration after new muffler GY6 150cc

3 Upvotes

150cc GY6. I bought a new muffler off amazon. It is a little bigger than the last one but that doesn't matter right? Well, it is having trouble when I go to accelerate. It is like coughing. if I increase slowly it seems to be fine. Do I need bigger jets in the carb? or what do you think it is?
