Why blurr out the engine number? I see other writing but, No engine model.

Looks like a water cooled 2T to me. The water pump is in the place normally occupied by the cam chain and tensioner.

I think here's the engine bong?

Here's the engine - but it's a 3 valve 4T?:

And another picture of the original?:

So, after much deliberation and research, this is a 50cc water cooled 3 valve 4 stroke engine of Italian origin which Roketa is having a hard time recognizing.

[JR]

Yep that's it but I didn't know there was a water cooled 2T either?

[cruiser]

Water cooled 2T's are very common overseas. I guess there hasn't been much of a market here for high performance two stroke scooters, so we were denied these beauties. This particular 50cc 3 valve engine was designed to give the same performance as the water cooled 2 stroke while having lower emissions.

Good Job Class!!!! (As I pretend I knew the answer). There are some really cool 2T scoots in the UK Aerox, Aprillia SSr have 2T l/c engines. The emissions prevent them from coming to the USA. That's why everyone switched to 4 strokes. The Genuine Stella serves as a good example.

This little engine had a few people on a 2stroke forum going crazy trying to figure out what it is.

If it's OK with you Cruiser I would like to share this info with them and put up that link. Giving credit to you of course!!!

I have no objections, Bong. I'm real curious to see if Roketa is really going to sell this model.

[Bong]

Thanks Cruiser. I didn't wanna take credit for something I didn't know. Maybe some of those guy will hop over here for a real education ;D

I would love to see that little bad boy in the States. I think that's about as close to a 2T were gonna get.

They got some real cool stuff overseas that would probably have a market here. Stupid EPA I hope we get some new members from around the world to show off there cool stuff so we can drool.
