Re: California registration process
27mph and thats it. Wish it was more but yet alone 27mph of fun and lots of thumbs up. What pipe to use and what brand of carb is it I'm not sure. The rear looks like a whole assembly like a cars rear end kinda.

You need to custom fab/find everything.
I use "goped" twisty pipes for most of my 50cc scoots, then with rejetting it can give a lot more performance.
I weld them to the muffler pipe, right before the original exhaust was hooked into. You have to find one that will fit well,
and in your case, fit under the plastics. Can you post a shot of the scoot,
and a shot of the rear and motor with the plastics removed?
Without changing the exhaust, you'll be limited in how much you can get out of it.
Does it have an RPM limiter?
Check this by propping up the rear wheels, putting a tach on it
and see how high it can rev unloaded.
If you're not a motorhead, or a tinkerer, you might be stuck at 27
Where in the Bay area are you?
I could help if you're in my area anytime...
Re: California registration process
I am in Union City. Maybe I'll check the moped stores for a pipe that would clear it.

No goped does 27 mph unless it custom but if it is custom it aint a goped cause goped is a brand.capturedbyrobots wrote:Well, if you can make it work, you're gonna be golden.sipaboy wrote:Called Progressive and told them I sent an app for moped plates and title and wanted to get insurance while I was waitting for the title.,they still insured it for $70 a year liability only. They ask me what model moped and acted dumb like I am not sure. She started telling me different names that falls under moped/scooter and she mentioned Gyro and I said thats the one. Printed a temporary proof of ins. and the copy of reg dmv form 230 with the photo of the check sent too. Hoping thats enough paperwork to carry around till I get everything straightened out.This thing is good on gas but can use more top speed.[27mph]
But jeez...27mph? My goped goes faster than that...
I would first off drop the cylinder's squish and use sealant for gaskets (more compression)
a larger carb, and a tuned pipe. Porting can only help too.
Larger tires should help too.does e
With that stuff and proper jetting, you could easily squeeze 5-7mph more out of it, if not more.
Does it have a CVT or the 2 speed clutching like Gyros?
If it has a CVT, there's a lot of tricks to do there for more speed.
PS3 it only does everything.

You're wrong. You don't know much about gopeds then.toad772 wrote:No goped does 27 mph unless it custom but if it is custom it aint a goped cause goped is a brand.
I own 12 gopeds, and most go 35 or faster.
Gsr40 with a pipe can easily go 35.
Because you add a pipe it's not a Goped anymore? Lol.
don't want to gum up his thread with this though....

Pm me if you're interested.
Re: California registration process
The DMV cashed the check I sent them. Took almost 7 weeks before they cashed it on the 20th of August. Usually you'll get the paperwork a week after. Cross my fingers hoping the cashed check was a good sign. Ready to ride it down doing errands and going to work. I was even thinking of taking the rear lockable box out and building a wooden rear pickup truck type bed. Maybe extend the length a foot . I figured it can handle hopefully around 60-80 pounds of load. Just wondering how many Canopy's are there in the lower 48 states.

Re: California registration process
California really discourage me to own more Scooters, need to pay reg and ins, thats BS. Back when i was in Hawaii and Michigan, just 5 dollar and i get a moped sticker for life. But I guess is still didn't stop other people to own more scooters.
BTW, I had friends done it before, registered a 94 Elite 50 under as 85 Aero 50 (not in california). All you have to do is Stamp frame.

Re: California registration process
There is a reason many call Kalifornia the "Peoples Republic Of Kalifornia", the government seems to think you have no rights regardless of the Constitution. I won't even travel thru that place anymore much less visit.da808nanospeed wrote:California really discourage me to own more Scooters, need to pay reg and ins, thats BS.
