Before you all shoot me and ban me, its not my scoot. I got lady a scoot to get her license with, I found a pretty cheap 50cc Sym Jolie, so we got that for the L/P period. Trouble is, its top speed is about 60kmph, which is OK, but as we live around a ton of 80 zones, I'd like to get it up to doing 80. So i've been doing some googling and it looks like there are things you can buy and do to it to get some extra speed out of it. There is bore kit for it, and apparently if you drill out a little restrictor plate in the exhuast, that gives you a little extra too.

So my question, anyone here have any experience with Scoots and doing this kind of thing? Any other tips?

 

Cheers

Sell it before she gets ran over and buy her a 250 scooter.

From 60 to 80 - I'd be considering selling it and getting a bigger bike. Even a postie bike.

Believe me I'd love to get her a 25 and when we have the extra cash, a 250 is the first thing we're getting. no doubt. funds aren't there yet, hence doing the mods.
badcooky, excuse my ignorance, but i don't know what gear it up means..?

No sprockets , they have a belt with tapered pulleys each end , as engine speed increases , the belt centrificultly moves up or down the pulleys to alter gearing . Some scooters have a  stop on the pulleys that you can remove to increase speed . Not that I know anything about scooters , Tim.

That sounds like a variable ratio works like some of the new car auto trans.

is the motor two stroke or 4 stroke?

have a look at https://japan.webike.net the 94cc kit will get the speed up to 120 klm just depends on how much $ you want to spend

most of what you read on scooter forums is in reference to the european markets, a lot of scooters sold in Ozz are restricted by electronic means via the CDI unit. if the scooter isridden on a car licence, keep in mind the speed limit is50km an hour and you can and will be booked if caught going over. the other issue is most of the 50cc scootersare atmax revs/power at 60ish kmh, to get higher top speed means increase in revs =increase in wear= very short engine life.

motor bike licence needed in nsw to get the speed we are changing to a High speed pulley set

Thanks for the insight guys. Softail Steve, thanks for that site, has some good stuff on there it looks like. and yes, its a motorbike license, well an auto mc license...

Love scooters we have 3 scooters and proud of it
