another thing, if those headlights are LED then they will not pass any sort of inspection. LEDs are not approved for headlights. just tails and turns.

how loud is that pipe? i cut a few inches off the end of my pipe (identical) and changed the crossover loop into three exit pipes... didnt try to look further than that. would be interested to know what else is deeper in there, you take any pics?

i would ride the scoot as is, and then try replacing the shocks with solid rod and test, BEFORE making any permanent modification towards making it a hardtail. it may end up being not worth making the arse end solid. JMHO

i am officially putting wheelie bars on this thing. i am convinced due to its light weight frame that it will have a tendency to buck up. plus who else can say they have wheelie bars on their scooter

thats the same model scooter i started my project with. (jonway 150) i ditched the frame however, only the wheels, motor and center stand remain. check it out its called the moto-scooteR

boooo cmon you can do better! keep modding!! start making a few holes in the frame and re-run those wires!!!

dont you love that new riding position? much more comfortable. and put a few more PSI in that back tire

well its been a while so i better update.



quick shot of the carb mockup and motor mount as well. ive got the bike clamped up and motor angle where i like it.

once i get the motor mount welded up then i can move on to adding the center stand section of the old frame to this new frame, and add 3 down tubes from the front to match up with the center stand and kickstand section. they will be made from fairly small tubing, but there will be some bracing for strength.


i am very pleased with the way this bike is coming together. there are a few small details that are bugging me, but i always find a way to make things work.

i started cleaning out the rusty old gas tank. if anyone has an extra tank that looks like this one that isnt rusty. please sell it to me. started with gravel and rust-eating penetrant, which got a good bit of the rust out... but there is still some to go. going to try BB's next, and if that doesnt get most of it then i will use the naval jelly.

once i get the frame done, i will start rebuilding the wire harness. since the bike is now half its original size, i have a feeling that i will have lots of extra wire so the plan is to rebuild it with appropriate lengths and tuck and loom everywhere possible.

got a simple 12v tractor accessory light from northern tool to use for a headlight. it doesnt have low and high beams, but hopefully will do the trick. i will change my low high lights to off and on.

i planned on using a modified stock exhaust to keep things quiet, but i was mocking up a dirtbike pipe and discovered i could do a rear center exit pipe IF my springs are stiff enough to keep the suspension from compressing much, if at all. i am hoping since my frame is 1000 lbs less than the stock frame, and i only weigh 140, then these stock springs should not move very much. i will need to put baffles in the dirtbike pipe though as the last dirtbike pipe got me pulled over twice in one day.

not really a scooter, but one could limit VIA the computer this bike to 35 mph which not only would increase range, but would make it legal as a moped in my state that has no electric limits on mopeds, only the 35 mph speed limit.

price is redonkulous, but what do you expect for a full electric?
