150cc Chinese Scooter Vid By petrol42 (Read 987 times)

Hey everyone, I made a video not too long ago showing how my 150cc with some mods does in traffic.

I hope you guys like it and I have another one I'm uploading now that shows how my scoot does in traffic with a 17/37 final gear swap. I'll link to it when it gets uploaded.

These vids give you an idea of how a GY6 will hold up in traffic with some mods.

Very Nice Petrol42, And don't you just love the Low Rpms and the scoot is moving out smartly.

I got 16/37 gears in now but I will be putting in 18/36 gears to even cruise around at even lower rpms. But that is all you want out of a good running scoot to be able to keep up with traffic with some left over. Because we all know if the speed limit says 40-45 the traffic on long stretchs of road are doing 50-60 mph.

Nice Vid and thanks for proving that a nice gear up will improve your top speed without having to spend hundreds of dollars.

How do you perform said gear up. Is it something that is fair easy or difficult?

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you very much!

I almost got the 18/36 gears but am happy that I chose the 17/37.

Beware though that the only place I found these high of a gear ratios were on ebay from someone named autotech335, or something like that.

The big gear I got from him wouldn't slide onto the shaft like the stock one does. I had to carefully grind inbetween the teeth a little to try to get them to fit. I managed to slide them on 3/4 of the way but I had to tap it in the rest of the way with a hammer and punch.

But upgearing is the way to go. All these scoots come with the same gear ratio regardless of tire size so there are some gains to be made.

I've only swapped them out once but I have a feeling that if I wanted to do another swap, it's going to take me a while to get that big gear off the shaft.

But I'm happy with what I got now. It's working great for me.

Now I'm itching for a BBK!
