Any one here running a sidecar on their scooter? If so what brand and on what scooter. My daily rider is a motorcycle with sidecar and would like to know what sidecars are out there for scooters.
Thanks
Jeff

I am looking at a kit that is a 63.8mm stroke with a 62mm bore for around 200CC with a big valve head. A 30mm carburetor not sure which one now but a good exhaust system with a gear set and a good filter. The kit comes with a stroker piston so no cylinder base plate is necessary. A good ignition and coil. I am looking to be able to curse at least 60 MPH all day or more.
Thanks
Jeff

I am thinking about getting a TaoTao EVO 150 and wondering if any on here has put a stroker and or a big bore kit? If so how did it hold up and is it worth it. I have built many a Harley stroker and or big bore kits.
Thanks
Jeff

Hello, My name is Jeff I live in Macon, GA and I have been riding and working on motorcycles and scooters none stop for 44 years. I have a machine shop in my basement and do quite a bit of motor work. I all ways have motorcycles I am working on in the shop. At 59 my only transportation is my rig (motorcycle with sidecar), which is a 02 HD Ultra I bought new with over 94,000 miles on it. When my health started to go down hill I put a 2006 Harley sidecar on it. In 44 years of none stop riding a good bit was and is with out a cage (4 wheel vehicle) but never with out two and do to my age and health problems now 3. I have never been fond of riding in a cage. I have ridden to and in as well as back from all but 5 states on it. I did Alaska in 2005. You see my rig on a trailer call the police as it has been stolen. The only scooter I have had to this point was a 1959 Cushman and a Harley Topper I will be building along with 2 others for a friend. I all so want to get a Tao Tao Evo 150 and hop it up. My grandson has a Tao Tao 4 wheeler and for the price has been a very good one. Thanks Jeff This is a Harley Topper they only built them from 1960 to 1965 and less then 3,800 total where made. They did sell them in 1959 but where marked as a 1960. I will be building 3 of these.  This was my Cushman I sold many years ago.  This is my daily ride and only transportation right now till I get something else built. Pictured with my oldest grandson.  |
