it is if your planning on doing a motor swap....the razz comes with a chain driven motor and if im not mistaken are only 39cc. Its rare to find any after market parts for these motors. I would do a dio swap and call it a day. Frame is deffinitely light weight so they have lots of potential to be fast bikes just not with stock motor

Razz is 50cc, but lacks CVT and has very little potential for modification.
It's single speed and top speed is about 30mph.

Razz are cool but slow. I'd HAVE to swap engines unless it was a dedicated "run two blocks to the store" scooter or something. A Jog or Zuma engine would likely be a pretty easy swap.

I'm going to look at an early Jog today hopefully. 8)

Stay clear of razzs, suspension is weak, frame is weak, engine is weak, and you can only swap the vert razz for a vert mina. Parts are not cheap and in the end you'll have spent over 1k to get it to keep up with a stock elite in speed and it will still handle like a turd.
Buy a honda.

If you do end up buying it I do have a vert zuma engine to sell. Vert zuma engines can spin 14k rpm with the right set up and make insane power. In the end your suspension will still be shoddy tho.

I have a af16 on a razz frame..just never finished it..used a af mount ..shock location was spot on..but like 1man8 said..the frame is brittle..many guys run razz with af16 in Hawaii..it's actually a really easy swap
