yes i want to put a 150 gy6 under it when the motor gives up on me 250 may be a bit much but is an idea

[Rebel]

A 250 might not be that much more trouble to install. It would cost a bit more money though and where would you put the radiator.

[jugglajay]

I see but do you thank a 250 would be dangerous on a bike that size i thought a 150 was pushing it but dang if i can go that big well its something to thank about

[Rebel]

I've heard some people list a concern about the lack of braking power on a 50cc when it is upgraded to a radically bigger motor.

I'm not positive the physics are being pushed to the limit, but you could go with a 12 or 13 inch front wheel with the disk and caliper to match.

[jugglajay]

yes that's my concern as well the brakes are a big part of me leaving the ruckus motor in plus i like is reliability of the Honda. but the speed of the gy6 is hard to beat

[Rebel]

Personally I wonder if the brakes are that big of an issue, the weight they are stopping is not much different. Have you seen any tests done on a before and after scooter?

[jugglajay]

well i know a guy that put a 150 on a 50 and used drum brakes on the rear. so now he has to stop much sooner than before i thank it has to do with higher speeds the 50cc 35-40 mph to the 150cc 55-60 mph. maybe faster depending on how your setup is but also maybe the rolling mass of the scooter comes in to play. you know my first question a lot of times is how fast will it stop most guys don't like that around here but i get a good laff out of it i guess if you thank of it as a old 50s Chevy the drums on them car where kinda the same spongie and weak

[Rebel]

You can get a 150 with a rear disk brake. Now regarding the guy with the 150 in a 50 frame. Compare his stopping distance to the normal 150 stopping distance and that would be a good comparison.

[jugglajay]

if your going up in .cc. disk is always better and the way ill go if i do a swap on this and i probably will when the motor craps on me ill put disk on front and rear at that point

Hey, it doesn't look BAD... It looks BAAAAAD! As in "Mad Max" baaaad... Cool!

I don't know about the bigger engine being a bad idea. Around here, there's a fellow riding a hand-built scooter with a turbo-charged Acura V-6 motor... Something around 600 ponies... Bet THAT one will test your deodorant! And bounce your eyeballs off the back of your skull...

Ride safe, if not fast!
