thats a great question sprocket lol. on some of the pics ive noticed they are on the wrong side, maybe they took a pic and did a mirror image flip so it aims the other way and makes it look like its on the wrong side? why would they waste their time doing that?

yeah i was thinking the same thing. we just thought of the 2 wheeled option because its alot cheaper BUT i do agree on the safety issue. bad part is the trunk is an option and wont come with one. still a nice one though. i will be picking up her scoot in about a month or two. she told me that she will sell all of my tools if i try to mod hers at all lol she wants it bone stock no fiddling with anything. i told her though that it is inevitable that something will need tinkering with sooner or later. also i will have to do the break in for her as she will just get on it and go lol. im still going to train her on mine so she has a good idea on how to control one and the dos and donts. thanks for your input alley.

Well docs, tax time is around the corner. For most of you, that means new scoots or modding your scoot. Since I got my scoot a few months ago, my woman used to poke fun about it, but since we have been getting out and taking rides, its growing on her. Now she demands one of her own. We have decided on two different scoots, each with their pros and cons. What I need from you, fellow docs, is your opinions about them. Both are 150cc. pics below with brief descriptions. the first one is quite obvious. it is very stylish and boasts a 9.8 hp 150cc. she loves the style and the color. shes never operated a motorcycle so shes leery on her skills but i can slowly teach her. also she will be using the one we choose to take our 5 yr old to his preK every morning, as well as ride with me when i go somewhere. this next one is a nice one, a little more expensive, but affordable. it is good because she wont have to worry about balance, and will be easier for her to take our kid to school. also if mine breaks down it will be easier to ride this one as apposed to the other which is pink and girly. plus its got a neat style from a scoot ive always loved, the ruck, if i could afford one i would have got one off the rip but, this is next best. though its a clone its still nice.

with all of my stuff that i carry plus me and my ol lady, my scoot does about 45-50 at 7-7500 rpm not too bad. what would you recommend for adding top end? im thinking about getting some heavier rollers and a 1500 main spring. how much do you think that would add on top end? i have yet to weigh the stock rollers to see what combo i could go with. since you have some hopped up scoots, what combo works best for you?

yeah im going to take a break every 45 mins to an hour of riding, wont go over 7500 rpm, just wanted to know what provisions to take before i take the ride. if you go here and watch the video, it will show you what i have for supplies, as well as the scoot lol. scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pictures&action=display&thread=5671i want to get a spare cvt belt and have it in the bike so just in case one ever goes out i have a spare but theres nowhere to get one locally and if i ordered one it would not arrive by time i plan on going on the trip. i guess im going to do an oil change prior to the trip, buy a new spark plug to have just in case i foul out the one im using. will take my camel back for sure. make sure i have all of my tools. all i need for tools is 14mm, 7/16, 10mm, 3/8, 8mm, 9/16, phillips screwdriver, flat head screwdriver and that should take apart the whole bike. going to find my roll of electric tape, and some duct tape. will get some good wire for sure terrilee! might have to buy some hoses and zipties. never forget cell phone. anything else i should need for a long ride?

planning a long ride in the future. the ride is 100 miles 1 way so its 200 miles round trip, taking my woman with me too. today i put 50 miles on my scoot with me and my woman on the back. 50 balls to the walls miles. so im sure it can handle the ride. just want to see what everybody thinks and if you have any advice as to how to prepare the scoot for a not so spectacular journey. thanks all.
mods so far:
after market air filter racing CDI racing coil drilled some holes in the under seat plastic removed a few blades from fan cover
