Hello Im curently rebuilding my 1984-85 honda spree. I bought this about 3 years ago at the age of eleven. I got caught riding it so i decided to make it better. i want to know if i could put a honda elite 150cc engine on it. I am a very good welder and need some help.

Dio is the motor out of a 94-01 elite 50. It can be modded to go over 70mph if you need that kind of speed.

Check out these links. One is a dio motor build and the other is a dio swap into a spree.

There is a lot more info on these forums you just have to take time to read it all. You would need to find a dio motor on these forums or ebay.

Around $100 for a block. Used on Ebay seems to be about $200-275 +shipping when one pops up.
