Yes, I'm sorry I didn't look at your first link.. NCY parts are good but not worth that kind of money! WOW

As someone pointed out you can buy a whole engine for that amount...

I would stick to something under $100. However, I think they often jack up the price on kits
you should price the individual parts as well...

OK...Go ahead and put a TOP OF THE LINE cast iron topend on it...and when your top of the line SNAPS your chinese crank and your chinese crank blows threw your chinese case and blows your chinese tire just tell your chinese doctor that you want top of the line titanium rods in your face...Happy scooting.

Hey Cape,

I didn't mean to offend you, or anyone on here. Just trying to extract usable info. Earlier you said you wouldn't pay that much for "top end". Ok, great. But doesn't give me good information. Your last post seems to indicate that the kit I am looking at would damage my scooter. THIS is very helpful! "Hey man, if you put this on there, you're going to blow your...". I don't know any of this stuff. I am not dissuaded by price, or putting "good" stuff on a "cheap" bike, unless it won't work. Just want to know if it will work.

The first few posts relayed that I could get the same thing for under $100. Well, if it's the same, would it not also bust my scooter? If they are not the same, then I am looking as to WHY they are not, and which is better. You see?

I've also heard in this thread that NCY is "good", but you call it top of the line. Why the exasperation at the price from the get go, if it is known this is "top of the line" stuff? Just say it's good stuff; don't tell me I can get the same thing for $50.

Did not expect this to be this difficult, or confrontational.

Sprocket,

Thanks for your response. So NCY is better than the generic stuff, but the site is probably a little high priced. I didn't even consider piecing the parts together because I know virtually nothing about this stuff. I just know I want to be able to go a little faster to flow with traffic better.

Do you recommend another brand, or maybe another website with quality parts at what you would consider a better price? How about a quality engine? I did a short search earlier, but $499 was the cheapest 80cc engine I could find.

Thanks.

Ok,
Here you can piece it together at a good price. Or get a 80cc complete engine.

Alleyoop,

Thank you so much for that. It looks like the whole engine is the way to go.

Thanks to everyone else for their input.

Well, it's been a while, but here's the update.

Sold my 50cc to one of my employee's, and snagged a Stella w/sidecar hack. Then, a few weeks later, we decided to snag a blue one for my wife. Hers has 600+ miles on it already (590 ridden by me!). I've got about 1200 miles on mine.

Needless to say...we're hooked.
