Difference between 49cc and 50cc scooters ?

[what]

my question is do people catagorize 49cc scooters as 50cc scotters and are 50cc parts compatable with 49cc scootersThe reason I am asking this is because every search I do for my TaoTao 49cc scooter never comes up with 49cc it only comes up with 50cc and up.I was told by someone that peole call 49cc scooters 50cc scooters and all scooters go by 50cc and up.I want to buy some parts for my scooter but cant seem to get a clear ansewer out of anybody about this.If some one knows this ansewer please reply and help me out thank you

actual displacement is less then 50 but most people call them 50cc
normaly the small scoots displace 49 or 49.5cc
why is that to get around the motorcycle laws in most areas the goverment limits the displacement to less then 50cc

Yup, that's right.

you will also find that many that claim to be a 125 may only be 115cc and then when you look at 150s if the cin tag says motordrivin cycle its actaul displacement is less then 150cc

for some reason motorcycle scooter and even atvs like to liberaly round there displacement up

HD does it too. my 80 C.I. hd is 1340 cc's. it is actually over 81C.I.

Motorcycles have for years rounded up the CC like for example a 80cc may only be a 78cc or even a 82cc . Many of the BBKs say there are 100cc when in fact like the 50mm BBK is a 82cc

For engine parts on a 4T 49cc China scooter all you need to know is it is a 139QMB engine regardless of what brand as thy are all the same when it comes to parts . Many often share the same body types like sunny or handsome boy where some brands may have proprietary body panels

There is no bigger difference. You can use those parts for your 49cc.
