Im looking to buy a shortcase qmj157 150cc brand new either here in virginia or online if anyone knows anyone respectable online sites to order from. I want a smaller wheel scooter that i can build to wheelie and have loads of torque and takeoff. Not worried about street riding or making it fast on top end. The long case 12-13in wheel "vip" style scoot has too much wheelbase and weight to be good at wheelies. It Has 61mm ncy kit/ 11g rollers/ hoca gears for acceleration and STILL has a hard time pulling the front wheel. I rode another VIP style 150cc with the smaller wheels, it was bone stock and pretty junky but I could wheelie it all the way down the street... Thanks for any help

Hard to find a 150cc with a shortcase with 10 inch wheels except for the Vespa style scooter. I think your looking for something like a 50cc scoot with a 150cc motor. You could get a 50cc and swap in a 150cc motor. Alleyoop

Alleyoop So if i ordered this then they would probably send me something of the nature and not the scooter pictured? because it really looks like it has 10in wheels. The one i road would almost wheelie on its own, barely had to pull up on it if you sat alllll the way back. It seemed very stout and im positive it was stock.

HAHA So what do you think?! Am i right in thinking that the shorter wheelbase and the shortcase motor overall are better suited for my purposes? (Wheelies)

Of course the short wheel base makes it a lot easier to do wheelies.

Doing wheelies can be dangerous

Doing wheelies can be dangerous So i bought a "used" 2014 VIP 150cc longcase with 300 miles for 850$. It operates exactly as it should in everyway. Out of all the scooters ive bought new and used, this is definetly the smoothest and most powerful chinese scooter ive ever bought. Pretty lucky too because i dont feel it needs alot to make it better at wheelies. It does good ones already and its bone stock!

Well my scooter is street legal and fully accounted for. I only wheelie in parking lots never the actual roads. I highly doubt my scooter will be crushed especially since the cops sit and watch us stunt streetbikes dirtbikes scooters and atvs at our local expo parking lot. We dont have the " dirtbikes riding reckless through the streets" problem here.

Front ends on scooters do not like coming down hard. On the other hand dirt bikes have 8 or 9 inches of travel with the front forks and are made for that!
