Kooldino fear the power of my 133t new wheels!

[gt40]

BTW It will have to be 0-50, mine won't go 60

Geese, I'd never make it out of second gear

congrats on the new vehicle, I may get one of those soon if gas continues to increase at the current rate :/

Bah! Not enough chrome

[Kooldino]

2700lbs with no driver and no fuel.

1 gallon of gas weighs 8lbs or so, and I weigh 180.

So when you calculate the power:weight ratio, make sure you add in the fuel and your weight.

With a vehicle to driver weight ratio of 1/1 i'd be pretty silly not to


PS and I think gas is more like 5lb. Water is 8.

I was talking about a tune pipe like this:

[Kooldino]

That probably does a decent job on a 2 stroke, but God is it ugly.

Is Chuck's new ride not a 2 stroke? I don't think he included specs in his post and I didn't take the time to verify myself.

It's not that bad, if it was painted black it would be pretty nice.

Crap, now the pic is gone...what is it, exactly, anyway?

Can you see this one?

[Nowhere]

No, I mean the first pic in the thread, of the scooter. What was it?

[ZokesPro]

Oh, ok, you mean this:

[cjolley]

You flatter me.
That's a 150.
Mine is a 50cc
Looks about the same and yours is the right color.

PS Yes, it is an oil injected 2 stroke.
say it softly and you will have the effect: Ring-ad-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ggggggg.....

So wadda you think about the tune-pipes I posted above? I saw one kid who had one and his scooter had so much more power, he could do wheelies no prob, plus his top speed was a bit higher. You gonna get one?

Wheelie a scooter? Why?

Having raced dirt bikes, I have a strong "been there, done that twice as fast" feeling about that.

This is to commute on. All 4 miles from home to work.
And maybe a trip to the store from time to time.

But if you are interested, they make 250s and even 500s.
Scooter racing seems to be quite the nitch hobbie.

LOL I honestly don't know why someone would wanna do a wheelie ona scooter. It's just for more power, but if you like it just the way it is then that's fine too.

Personally If I had one, (a used one that didn't cost me much cause I would treat a new one like a baby) I'd tune the hell out of it!
