If you can't put it to legal road use, then use it for parts.

Heck purchasing all the parts to rebuild an old ride to like new would cost about the same if not more.

Things like all the engine/tranz internals + cooling shroud, carburetor, all the electrical, wheels, brake parts, cabling, triple trees/Forks + shock/s, handle bars, & if body cladding isn't damaged that too.

So even if you can't register it, there is enough "new" parts to cover the cost of purchase.

& just cut-up the useless chassis, leftover unusable stuff & recycle it, for more pocket change & chock it up as a plus learning experience.

This a weird & unorthodox way of selling repo, & seized "new" scoots.
I can see why there would be concerns on purchasing one.

But has any group pooled some cash together & tried to get something like the Ruckus clone?
Not a lot panels to damage there.

These are auction claimed/purchased,
Repo & Seized scoots being resold at lower prices.

There shipping is set up on pre-set wait to fill containers.

Basically a very large well coordinated;
purchase at auction, do paperwork, resell, more paperwork, fill containers, & then ship- process.

It could worth a try to find out if enough pitch in to try.
& if this new method if there's holds true, that would be cool.
If it is false, what's a $33 loss if ten of us try together.

I'm for trying…

Well got past the problems on the gascap & ignition locks by rekeying them.
& rekeying that ignition was a long time consuming B*tch-,
5 hours to do the whole Freak'n job on that key switch, including the electrical work.

It'll be a long time before I attempt reworking a lost-key ignition switch again.
Just glad I had a key that fit.
Ugh…

Now see about the rest & get this thing rolling.

Thank-you JR.

I'll be happy to get a 40-Mph topspeed if it means keeping the engine content.

If I can get a constant 35-Mph average, &
a 20-Mph up-hill out of it, that would be great as well.

I just don't like having to take 65 minutes for a 31-mile non-stop trip.
Shaving 8 minutes off can help one's backside alot.

If taking that 31-mile trip, I'd have to make it twice in a day.
Because that is the trip I'd have to take to make some guaranteed extra cash to get things paid off sooner.

I didn't get this scoot for recreational purposes, I purchased it to get me around & work.

& I reiterate, this was my only option for a vehicle that my situation would allow.
So had to make due, or do without a ride.
Having made due without a ride for a year was hard enough.

If these things won't go beyond 35-Mph stock.

Then how come I read about folks getting these scoots to go up to 50-Mph without any big bore kits?

Things like higher speed tires aired up to 45-PSI for less rolling resistance, changing the tranz gears, better veriator, rollers set to rider weight, higher RPM clutch-torque spring, heavier clutch springs, hotter coil, CDI w/rev-limiter, better spark-plug, larger carb., Oil cooler + extra filter set-up, & maybe even a stroker kit.
Heck even EFI will do wonders for a stock engine.

( There isn't much to be had with an exhaust kit. Get a 1-2 extra Mph, really? that isn't proformance, that's a rip off @ $100+ price tag. Get a pro exsuast tuner to build you one, money better spent without the bling-bling.)

But to say these things can't go up to @ least 40-Mph with only mild tuning?
Come on…
Most tuners just remove the "restrictive" crap & get 32-37 Mph all the time.

When I had my scoot running good, I've got it up to 37-Mph on a 50° day, bone-stock then.
Yeah the cool air, gave it a good dense charge.

But it would do 33-Mph average, on the flats.
So there is something to be had with these
3-cubic inch buggers.

I believe one can tune a 49.5cc scoot to go @ least 40-Mph @ live a long life.
Or
Go 60-Mph flogging the crap out of it, Til' it breaks.

So help a person out, & give a some pointers on which way to get some speed & MPG out of this thing, please.

Good to know your opinion on the matter.

As about the insurance;
I have looked into a few quotes on costs.
Just don't have the income at this time.
(Still wear the bucket though.)

Will have it when I go for my motorcycle license road test.
I'd like to be able to get rid that flag, & go legally faster.

Ok, general tune/performance Q: here.

I'd like to take a "untouched bone-stock", Short-case, 10"-Wheels, 49.5cc, 1P39QMB, GY6, scoot.

& set it up/tune/mod-it whatever, to move 220-230Lbs, (Me, Equipment, ect.)

up-to a top speed of 45-Mph on the level-straights, & no less than 20-Mph on the hills.

What are you guys Recommendations/Changes to reach such a goal?
Is it possible?

P.S.
-No big-bore-kits-
I'd like to keep this a stock 49.5cc engine.
