Here is my initial impressions of the Xtreme 50 Packaging is ok but Ive seen better. Some assembly required. This handle bar setup is a customizers dream. 12" Kenda MT139QMB Bottom mount, no simple 150cc conversions here. Dual rear shocks. Standard QMB setup just longer Belt size: 723 17.5 28 Exhaust is better than most IMO. Possible horn or headlight mounting locations. Neat ignition setup. Top of the line YUASA Battery. Battery box. Speedo, volt meter, gas gauge. Very easy to work on. No plastic in your way. CVK Carburetor. Fuel tank is under the floorboard with a vacuum fuel pump. Tags. Helmet lock. Under seat storage. Handle bar assembly. Rear rack. Check out the front rack, just large enough for your lunch box. I have really enjoyed this scooter so far. Its much more heavy duty than you can see in the pictures. I also like the fact that it sits a little taller than most bikes so your not always leaning down to reach the grips. I will have some numbers and measurements along with some base line performance numbers soon.

Looks good, tell them to make a 150cc version. I really like the attention to detail, the gauges look like real ones, love the motorcycle type handle bar mounts and handle bars, overall looks good.

Rich at FX Motorsports has them for sale for $1395 with a reported 50mph stock. I have not had those kinds of results so far.

Nice looking Scoot. It looks rugged.

We watched Johnny Yuma too, but Branded was preferred, then came Rawhide, Bonanza, Gun Smoke...

Yeah...we did sorta hi-jack your thread.....back to topic guys! I like the photo essay you've dome, and it puts a lot more into perspective, at least in my opinion. Scootertronics....he can't even publish the correct specs....he lists it with 10" wheels. With Jeremy's pics, you can SEE what you're gonna get. Kudos Jeremy!
