It was abandoned at the shop we got a lean on it a few years ago and my boss didn't want to pay us to clean the carb and put a new battery in it so he gave it to me took me a hour to get it running we put 20 miles on it tonight already I don't know what he was thinking

Basically a metro w a ruckus rear frame. The met and ruck are pretty close frame and part wise.

I would sell the metro and razz and buy a zuma. Or elite 50. You'll never get the speeds you can reach on a stock elite or zuma with a modified GET engine. Should be able to get a decent dollar for the metro.

have you guys ever heard of any one using a old automotive smog pump for a supercharger on a four stroke scooter?

Hey, it ain't all about speed, and a 4 stroke fires up n runs w alot less care haha. I want one as a daily cuz my aero just isn't confidence inspiring. Hey, graphite, that one you posted looks like it's running the rear hub backwards? I've seen this before, what's up w that? Just mor offset?

d***! Nice score! I ended up with a Vento Zip r3i like that years ago. Same thing. Cleaned out the carb, fresh fuel, good to go! I really wish I hadn't sold it. It was a really nice scoot with disc brakes , remote start, nice suspension.

A little off subject, but am I the only one who doesn't really care for the look of the stretched out scoots? Maybe I just don't get it. It looks strange to me. Even on the dio's it just looks weird. I can't image that it helps with handling and cornering very much either.

What's this about a smog pump super charger?! I've got a ford van camper that has what has to be the mother of all smog pumps, it's huge.
