Meaning no offense to others here I am going to play Devils
Advocate and ask one simple question concerning IB trikes.
We bought Chinese because the initial cost was reasonable
compared to other scooters made in Japan or Europe or
Taiwan. I have read on other forums owners who are doing
a lot of mods to get the correct performance from IB trikes or
overcoming the many manufacturing errors (lets leave it at that,
we all know what those problem areas are). Has anyone considered how much all these repairs/mods have cost parts wise
alone? Take the original cost of the scooter, add these costs to it
and see what the total is. Could you have bought a better trike or scooter for what you have now spent? Something to think about.

Any one out there have any experience with the Roketa 250c
Spyder reverse trike? Built like the Can-Am trike.

Rich, according to the Bible 666 is the mark of the Devil!!! However recent studies have shown
that the figure has been translated wrong from the original Hebrew so you should be safe. 8^)
Safe trip and God Speed.

As I said before, others say dont cut the brown wire!! Also I have an MRP air filter on my TGB.
Put in an MRP CDI but could never get the scoot to run reliably so took it out and put the old
CDI back in. She now runs just fine. I wont blame the MRP CDI but this was my experience. The original CDI has a restricter that will cut the engine off momentarily if I get it maxed out
on RPM's. This is a good thing as it prevents you from damaging the engine by over revving.
Shuts off at apx. 44 mph.Can run all day at 43!!!

Doc. Jr, I have a 150 cc trike(now a yard trike using the trailer hitch to haul a garden trailer for work on the acreage, sadly a failed experiment, but I may have a different aproach in the works) 2 50cc 2T's which I really like, and 2 150cc's. I agree that the 50cc 2T's are on the
way out sadly. They have faster pickup than the 4's give less trouble, but will be forced out
by the EPA sooner or later. Strange since they use less gas than most vehicles. However, they
are best used in town or on country roads with little traffic as they max out around 40 or so.

I agree with CooKies and Dr. JR basically. Nothing wrong with modding, have done a little. Nothing wrong with 50cc bikes when used correctly and in town. I own 2, one is my Tomos
Revival( my motor home bike) and the other is a TGB Delivery 50cc, it is a good campus bike or town bike. I will sell it soon. I traded my Tank 250 for an older TGB Delivery 150 and have no regrets. For my riding needs and area the TGB topping out at a bit over 60 is fine.
For those who are gifted at wrenching and who enjoy souping up 150's go for it. The idea is to have fun with the ride. For those of us who are not gifted in that area and want speed, go to the 250's. As for me I will stick with stock 150 scoots. If you really want to go FAST get a Piaggio MP3 500. Had one pass me on the X way the other day, I was doing 75 and he left me and a bunch of others in his dust doing at least 80. By the time you get thru modding you
will have spent enough to buy the Piaggio and can get more than enough speed plus have a reverse trike to boot. (well, perhaps not as much since the Piaggio runs around $9000.00).
