The Talk About 50cc scooter

As you increase the scooter's speed and acceleration, you will find that your brakes, frame, and suspension are probably not up to the task. Replacing all of these parts is quite expensive. If you just want a bit of increased performance for your 50cc scooter, there are probably carb, exhaust pipe, and variator (gearing) changes you can make. You might be able to find a big bore kit, so that you can increase the engine displacement from 50cc up to around 70cc.

Some scooters take a mix of oil and gasoline. Be aware, however, that local laws may not permit this kind of engine in a gas powered scooter. The EPA has made laws about the kind of emissions even fuel-efficient scooters can produce, and luckily, major scooter producers like China largely heed these standards with commonly sold scooters.

Putting gas in your scooter is generally about a two-minute affair. Many of them hold only a few gallons, with some pretty outstanding fuel mpg ratings to go along with their tiny tanks. While there are electric and gas powered scooters, gas is by far the more popular way to go the world over. It can be very inconvenient to find a place to plug in an electric scooter, and they take time to charge.

Most scooters need a minimum of 100 psi in compression in order to run start and properly. Compression should be checked when the scooter engine is warm. However, that's hard to do if your scooter is not running. So, just hook up a compression gauge and open up the throttle all the way. Crank the scooter until the needle on the compression gauge stops moving. This should take no more than 5 seconds. Very roughly, 100-125 psi is good, 125-150 psi is very good, and 150+ psi is great. If you don't have this level of compression, then you have bad valves and/or bad piston rings. If you want, you can add a teaspoon or so of oil to the engine through the spark plug hole. Then try the compression test again. If compression is higher, then it's likely you have bad rings. The oil will seal the rings and give you better compression. If compression is the same, then you have bad/misadjusted valves.

Electric Kid Scooter - How to Ride Safely

By Tom Says

An electric kid scooter can make a great present for your child. It is adaptable, lightweight, and not difficult to use. Before buying your child an electric scooter, though, always think about what precautions to take.

Should I get my child an electric kid scooter?

Pediatricians have observed that cycling, skateboarding, and riding scooters have caused many accidents. This is probably one reason why children under 5 are not to use scooters. If your child is 6 to 10 years of age then he or she can ride a scooter with an adult present. If your child is 10 years or over, then he or she can use a scooter without adult supervision. However, it's still better to command safety instructions. There are scooters for each age group, so request for information on which electric kid scooter your child should get.

What attributes should an electric kid scooter have?

When shopping around for an electric kid scooter, make queries about its characteristics and safety advantages. If you want to prevent accidents, get an electric scooter for your child that has two wheels attached at the rear. Because this type of scooter tends to be steadier, it's good for children ages 6 and up. Search for a scooter without small wheels that are distant from each other. A scooter with this kind of design is oftentimes wobbly.

Shop for an electric scooter with handle brakes that replace foot brakes. Children are able to grasp handle brakes better. Using handle brakes also allows the child to pay more attention to staying stable on the scooter. Scooters can come with handlebar pads as well.

What safety guidelines can my child follow when riding an electric kid scooter?

Just like everyone who rides bikes, skateboards and motorcycles a child needs to wear protective body gear such as knee and elbow pads as well as a helmet before riding an electric kid scooter. Always teach your child to wear a helmet the very first time he or she is able to ride a scooter. This method will help the child get used to wearing protective gear in the future.

Tell your child to avoid leaning forward too much, particularly when making a corner turn. Inclining forward can make the scooter flip over, regardless if it's a regular or electric scooter. The difference with an electric scooter does not require you to push the vehicle with your foot.

Finally, warn your child about riding in traffic, bad weather and at night. Traffic poses the danger of the scooter getting hit by a car, the lack of natural light can affect how you see at night and bad weather can easily make you slip and fall.

Search the best attributes of an electric kid scooter and use this guideline. With the guideline and proper use, the electric kid scooter is a perfect present for your child.

Try to buy a scooter performance kit (carb, air box, exhaust pipe) that is tuned for your scooter. It will make things much easier. Lastly, add the big bore kit. This will give you more torque (pulling power) and better acceleration. It won't necessarily add top speed unless you make gearing changes too. For larger scooters, there aren't too many performance parts available here in the U.S. The easiest thing is to do a web search for "scooter performance parts" and see what you can find.

First remove all rubber and gaskets or they will be damaged. After a ~20 minute soaking I blow out the carb with compressed air. You have to get all the jets and the passageways clean. Be sure the jets are clear, especially the starter jet. Sometimes carb cleaner won't clear out these tiny jets. Use a guitar/piano wire, a strand of copper electircal wire, or a tiny drill bit pin vise. Be sure not to increase the size of the hole in the starter jet or you'll change the tuning. Carefully reassemble everything, checking for cracks in the rubber carb boots and the gaskets. Replace them if they are old and cracked. Be sure and remove all rubber and gasket material first or they could get ruined. Spray carb cleaner also works if you're dilligent.

Compression Check. If you just acquired your scooter, you should first do a full inspection before you try to get it running. If this is the case, I'd do a compression check first because it's easy to do. First, check the quantity and condition of the engine oil. Hook up or purchase a good battery. Leave out the spark plug and crank the scooter for ~5 seconds. This helps to circulate the oil. Let it set for ~15 seconds and then do it again. It's not a good idea to continuously crank the starter because it can overheat and wear out prematurely.

The highlights of moped motor scooter rentals-The money you spend on gas is less than half of what you'd spend on a rental car. The gas mileage for a moped or scooter is about 80 miles per gallon, offering the chance to see all the sights and sounds during your vacation on a budget. A moped does not require the driver to have a driver's license so moped motor scooter rentals are a great way to get a family together for a good time and some laughs.

Most of the time a speedometer will quit working because your speedometer cable is broken. Most of the time, the speedometer cable breaks 5-6 inches from its connection at the front wheel. It tends to break here because of the bend in the cable and the exposure to the elements (water and dirt) near the front wheel. The good news is that new speedometer cables are cheap and are not difficult to replace.

You might want to get a performance carb and/or a new exhaust pipe. You'll need to replace these two components (and probably the air box) at the same time to get the best performance increase. The engine is basically just an air pump. The more air you can move through the engine, the more power you get. Adding a bigger carb draws more air (and more fuel) into the engine. But you restrict the amount of added air if you don't change the air box.

Scooters are a common sight in many European countries as well as in Asia and are becoming more common in the United States. The scooter is unique in that it has a smaller engine than a motorcycle and this does affect how fast the scooter can go, but sometimes speed isn't everything. Gas efficiency, however, can be a big component on the popularity of the scooter.

The spark must occur at the right time. Just about all scooters made since around 1980 have an electronic ignition. These systems can rarely be set. In general, the spark occurs just before the piston reaches the top of it's stroke. There is a slight delay between the spark plug fire and the fuel-air mixture ignition. That's why the spark occurs a little early. Most ignition systems have an advance unit build in. As the engine speeds up, the time of the spark retards a little bit. This helps the engine fire the mixture at the proper time.

Electric Scooter For Sale - 7 Tips Before You Buy An Electric Scooter

By S.M. Vaidya

So you have found the best electric scooter for sale that suits your needs and personality and you are ready to make a purchase. Before you finally buy it there are some things that you must look for so that you don't end up with a bad quality piece.

There are so many websites that offering electric scooters for sale. You can find such stores by searching on the Internet search engines. Many manufacturers have their own websites that display a list of products with images. Here are some pointers on what to look for.

1) Always look for electric scooter images or photos (preferable more than one) from different angles. Some websites allow visitors to see photos of accessories too. Some have more than one photo of the same model for sale with different color schemes.

2) Always look for basic price of the electric scooter plus shipping charges and handling charges. Sometimes shipping charges are not mentioned on the website but many manufacturers charge extra during final sale of the electric scooter.

3) Read customer reviews before make a final decision. No matter how cool an electric scooter for sale look on the website, if it's performance is poor, you will suffer in the end. Honest customer reviews should be one of the major deciding factors.

4) Ask the company officials about servicing of the vehicle. If they happen to have service center near your home then it's a great thing.

5) Look for special discount coupons or promotional coupons. Many electric scooter for sale will have some amount of discount. Many companies use these marketing techniques to attract more customers. However discount coupons are not always advertised on the website. You will have to send an email to their customer care department and check out about the availability.

6) Make sure about guarantees and warranties before you buy. What happens if you receive a broken part when you get the scooter in your home? Who will pay for the damages occurred during shipping? Is there any free servicing for the vehicle? Answers to such kind of questions must be sorted out before you buy an electric scooter that is for sale.

7) Is there any discount for repeat customers? This is not an absolute necessity but you can try asking. If you like the electric scooter very much and decide to buy another one from them, will you get any discount? Again, many companies have this policy, which they do not advertise to public.

These were just a few things to look for when you find an electric scooter for sale. These will definitely save your money and future troubles.

While looking for an electric kid scooter, inquire about its attributes and what benefits they can provide when it comes to safety. If you want your child to have the best protection, buy an electric scooter that has two wheels on the rear end. This kind of scooter is best for children within any age after 5, since it is the least difficult to balance on. Moreover, look for a scooter with wheels that are big enough and not far apart. Scooters that are made otherwise turn out to be rickety and hard to use.

Doctors have found that skateboarding, cycling and riding scooters have injured many children. This is why it's usually not recommended for children aged under 5 to ride scooters. Children with ages ranging from 6 to 10 may use scooters but must have constant supervision. Children aged 10 and up may ride a scooter on their own, although it's always a good idea for them to learn safety guidelines. Various scooters exist for various age groups, so inquire which electric kid scooter is best for your child's age or if your child should get one at all.

X-Treme Scooters � The Good - Bad and the Ugly

By Matthew Smith

It is quite common for trends to come and go with each new generation. Fashion, music, slang and even a persons lifestyle, how they live their life is affected by these fads or trends. Toys and recreational past times are no exception. In the days of old, 5-10 years ago, everyone wanted an electric scooter or a gas scooter.

No one wants plain old electric scooters anymore, they don�t want just a gas powered scooter; the trend today is to get an X-Treme Scooter. An X-Treme Scooter is versatile, quick and can go the distance.

With growing popularity, X-Treme Scooters is filling that need.
1. X-Treme scooters are versatile: When you look for a scooter, whether it is a gas scooter or an electric scooter, you want to be able to fold it down fo easy storage. The foldable electric scooters are popular among college students, mariners, campers and most popular among those with an RV.
2. X-Treme Scooters are quick: All X-Treme Scooters are quick for their assigned task. It is important to note that the speed you get with your x-treme scooter is dependant on such variables as
a. The weight that the scooter is carrying.
b. The terrain that the scooter is going over.
c. The weather conditions � wind, rain ..etc.
d. Maintenance: The condition, and charge if electric, of the scooter � always check tire pressure, oil/grease chain. If gas scooter, clean air filter, wipe plug and make sure gas tank has no debris buildup.
3. How far can X-Treme Scooters Go? Well, that really depends on the type and model. But that is not all. For electric scooters, you need to go a little deeper than just the description.
a. Watts does not always equal power: When you see an electric scooter and it says 250,350,500 and some boast 750 up 1000 watt motors, how can you really be sure you�re getting what you paid for? Every electric scooter motor has a plate on it for identification. On the plate is the actual output rating for that motor. I have seen 500 watt scooters listed as 750 and 1000 watt. Be careful.
b. Voltage does not always equal power: If you have the wattage, you need the batteries to support the wattage. In the old days, everything was either an 8 volt or a single 12 volt system. Over the years, x-treme scooters have evolved into 24, 36 and 48 volt systems. Traditional electric scooters these days will have either 12 or 24 volt systems. When you see a 36 volt system, that will give you a minute increase in power, but the real advantage is distance and torque. The more voltage, the longer your scooter will run and the more weight your scooter will be able to cary.
c. The Controller Is Key: What is the controller? The controller is the �Brain� of your scooter. Think of the processor n a computer; the controller is the processor in your scooter and without this, the scooter will not work. Though you have no choice in what controller you get, you need to make sure that the controller will work with the motor and the battery setup of your scooter. Without compatibility between these systems, your scooter can blow fuses, surge the batteries, surge the motor, or even catch fire.

Most electric scooters and gas scooters these days are made in China. There are very few companies in the United States that make their own scooters. Go-ped is the leader of this group. X-Treme Scooters are gaining popularity and are currently used in X-Treme Sports; such as the X-Games. All around the country, you can find go-ped groups springing up and races are common.

Compression check. If you just acquired the scooter, you should first do a full inspection before you try to get it running. Please see this page on restoration. If this is the case, I'd do a compression check first because it's easy. First check the quantity and condition of the engine oil. Add oil as necessary. I wouldn't change it unless it's terribly dirty. The engine could be bad so you'd waste the oil change. Hook up or purchase a good battery. Leave out the spark plug and crank the scooter for ~5 seconds. This helps to circulate the oil. Let it set for ~15 seconds and do it again. It's not a good idea to continuously crank the starter because it can overheat and wear prematurely. Most scooters need a minimum of 100 psi in compression to run start and properly. Compression should be checked when the engine is warm, but that's kind of hard to do if the scooter is not running. So just hook up a compression gauge and open up the throttle all the way. Crank the scooter until the needle on the compression gague stops moving. This should take no more than 5 seconds. Very roughly, 100-125 psi is good, 125-150 psi is very good, and 150+ psi is great. If you don't have this level of compression then you have bad valves and/or bad piston rings. If you want, you can add a teaspoon or so of oil to the engine through the spark plug hole. Then try the compression test again. If compression is higher, then it's likely you have bad rings. The oil will seal the rings and give you better compression. If compression is the same, then you have bad/misadjusted valves.

Remove the fuel and vacuum lines from the petcock to the carb. Place a suitable container under the fuel line and draw air on the vacuum line to the petcock (if so equipped) and see how well the gas flows. The flow has to be more than a trickle. It should be steady and fairly substantial. If you get this flow, then you're ok. Run at least a pint of gas through to help flush the system. If you don't get a flow then it's likely your petcock is clogged. You have to remove it to disassemble and clean it. Carefully reinstall it on the gas tank or you could get a gas leak. Reassemble everything and try to start the scooter. It will take several seconds of cranking to get the gas to work its way from the gas tank to the carb. Hopefully it will start now! :>)

Gas Scooters

By Kevin Stith

Gas scooters have been around in European and Asian countries for quite some time; the Americans didn�t find them attractive, until recently. The American market opened its doors to gas scooters because of their many new styles and because they are being seen in many films. The rising price of gasoline is another reason for Americans� acceptance of gas scooters.

Gas scooters are more advantageous over cars and motorcycles in terms of efficiency and convenience. The gas tank of most gas scooters use only a fraction of the expense needed to keep a car tank full. Some gas scooters even have an extra storage compartment, thus making it suitable for running local errands. Gas scooters are not only fuel efficient, but also quite cheap. The most expensive gas scooter costs much less than motorcycles and economy cars. Not only that, the insurance requirement for gas scooters is less restrictive than the equivalent liability coverage for cars and motorcycles. The reason for this is that the gas scooter cannot go at high speeds, thus lowering the probability of an accident occurring.

Compared to a gas scooter, motorcycles prove to be difficult to operate for day-to-day activities like shopping and commuting to work. Cars have many monthly payments, in addition to licensing fees and mandatory insurance. Due to its size, a gas scooter makes parking easy. Car owners have to go in loops looking for a suitable parking space, while a gas scooter can be legally parked in city-sponsored bicycle racks or even be secured to chains to sturdy objects on the sidewalk.

Although gas scooters are found readily in the retail market, not all retailers carry all the available styles. They keep only the popular models that most people ask for. However, those who want a unique scooter model just have to search online. All that one has to do is to surf the Internet for the numerous online scooter stores and choose the model and style of gas scooter required.

Try to buy a scooter performance kit (carb, air box, exhaust pipe) that is tuned for your scooter. It will make things much easier. Lastly, add the big bore kit. This will give you more torque (pulling power) and better acceleration. It won't necessarily add top speed unless you make gearing changes too. For larger scooters, there aren't too many performance parts available here in the U.S. The easiest thing is to do a web search for "scooter performance parts" and see what you can find.

Scooter Safety...As with all moving vehicles, it's important to be smart about driving one. This includes proper documentation and licensing, and protective gear. Buy a helmet, protective jacket and pants and wear them. You may want to go ala easy rider with just a t-shirt, but you can get quite a road rash even at low speeds.

Scooter Starting Tips
It is definitely frustrating when you can't get your scooter or moped started. The first thing you'll need to do is to narrow down the problem. In order for your gas scooter to start, it really only needs 3 things:
1...Your scooter needs to spark at the correct time.
2...Your engine needs the proper fuel/air mixture and exhaust flow.
3...You need sufficient engine compression.

If you work outside, then you need a flat area of concrete. A level space for scooter tuning will mean that when you set down a tool, it won't roll away.

If your friend has such an area, ask if you can work there rather than at home.

Electric Mobility Scooters - Getting The Right One

By Francois Gauvreau

Often an essential tool for daily mobility, scooters come in a range of shapes and sizes. As they increase in popularity, they are becoming less expensive and more sophisticated to suit every need.. There is a vast range of electric mobility scooters available today and choosing the right one from the start will save you time and money.

Here are a few models to consider if you're thinking of investing in an electric mobility scooter:

� Foldable Mobility Scooters

� Three and Four-Wheel Electric Scooters

� Heavy-Duty Electric Scooters

� Scooters with headlights and baskets

� Scooters with oxygen holders

� Petite Scooters

� Two Seater Scooter

The most popular electric scooter brands include, Sunrise Medical; Merits; Pride Medical Products; Tuffcare; Shoprider; Golden Technologies; Ranger; Palmer Industries; Quickie; Roho; Winco; Gendron; Harmar Bruno; and Silver Star.

You'll need to assess your needs and purchase a model that will best suit your daily activities. Main things to consider will be size, weight, functionality, and battery capacity and comfort.

Three wheeled electric mobility scooters will typically be lighter in weight than a four wheel scooter. Four wheeled scooters may offer better balance, particularly when maneuvering around corners at speed.

Will you be using your scooter more indoors or outdoors?

If you plan to mainly use the electric scooter indoors, then a three-wheeled electric scooter is the better choice, offering better maneuverability - perfect for going around inside the house. As an added bonus, three-wheeled scooters are lighter, and are much easier to drive and maneuver around tight spaces.

Four-wheeled scooters are generally better suited for outdoor use. Four wheeled scooters are engineered to adapt to rough surfaces and weather extremes that are typical outside. There are also three-wheeled electric scooters designed for outdoor use, which will make it a more versatile machine you may want to consider.

Most electric mobility scooter manufacturers or distributors will have professionally trained staff on hand able to assess your needs and make sure you select the best electric mobility scooter for you. Make sure to take the time to speak to several before making this important decision. Always be sure to test drive your scooter to make sure it is the right shape, size and fit.

What are you waiting for? Make the Move to Mobility!

Whether you're getting on in age and just want to increase your mobility, or you are disabled and view owning an electric mobility as a means of improving your quality of life, an electric mobility scooter will be one of the best investments you have ever made. With electric mobility scooters getting faster, lighter, and more efficient, all you have to do is plug in and go.

Invest in an electric mobility scooter, hit the streets, and enjoy new found independence starting today!

So let's take a look at some safety ideas. Wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads. Children under the age of 12 should not ride motorized scooters. Avoid heavy traffic at all costs. Don't ride at night. If you have to ride at night, be sure you have a good headlight and a taillight as well as side reflectors. Wear sturdy shoes that have a good sole on them. If your helmet doesn't have a face shield, invest in a good pair of goggles are safety glasses. Avoid gravel or uneven roads. Know the local laws. Have insurance. Take a class on scooter safety. Many States provide these free of charge.

Given that most scooters only take a quart of oil - what is the cost of a quart? Even the very best synthetic oil is only $5 a quart. If you have a 125/180/200cc Yamaha, you will also need a ~$6 oil filer. That's only $10! Is that cheap or what? As for oil, use a top quality oil made for smaller engines. I use a top quality synthetic oil (Castrol or Mobil One for instance). Remember that changing your oil is WAY cheaper than replacing your engine.

Push Scooters Can Be Safe and Cool, Too

By Terry Price

Do you have a toddler for whom you would like to purchase a scooter? This article is about finding the right scooter for your little girl. A motorized scooter or a gas scooter may not be suitable, but there are several push types available. When it comes to picking out the right scooter for your little girl, you care about her safety, but you would like her to have fun and look cool as well. Of course, with safety in mind, make sure that they always wear helmets and kneepads. You will find, that depending on the scooter you choose, there are usually safety standards related to the design of that bike.

One very popular scooter is the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe 2. Suitable for ages 1 � to 5, it is safe and sturdy and is an award-winning kid-powered bike that has entertained children for decades and worth a serious look by any parent. Or, how about the 16-inch Girl's Schwinn Sting Ray, which is super cool for little angels and it is designed along the Orange County chopper-style lines. Complete with the chopper theme, it is reinforced on the frame as well as the chain guard, and it also sports a cool saddlebag to complete the look. It is not from the family of motorized scooters, but is great choice for a young girl.

If you would like to purchase something for a child ages three and up, have a look at the Radio Flyer Classic Red 10' bike. Sporting a classic red color, this is a great toy for a child ages three and up. It comes complete with chrome fenders and has a little silver bell that is great for any child. As it is very safe, it promotes a sense of independence. It has removable wheels, reflectors, and an adjustable seat. The wheels also have rubber tires just like a real motorized scooter. Regardless of what type of scooter you decide on for your child, remember to comparison shop and look closely at safety features.

How was the old gas? Did the gasoline smell old? If the scooter has been sitting over a year or so, the gasoline will turn into a varnish-like stuff. Then you'll have some serious cleaning to do. The gasoline will have evaporated for the most part, leaving a sludgy, molassas like substance in the gas tank, petcock, fuel lines, and the carb. All of these parts will have to be cleaned. This is especially a problem in the carburetor. Thoroughly flush out the gas tank and gas lines with new gas. I've had good luck using the old gas (in small quantities at a time) in my truck.

Mobility Scooter Batteries

By Jason Gluckman

Mobility scooters are powered by heavy-duty batteries. Various companies have come up with different kinds of batteries. The prices differ with the varying capacities. Distinct batteries power different models of mobility scooters.

A three-wheel scooter with a 143 lbs capacity is fitted with 2 batteries, 12V, 32 amp that power the vehicle with a maximum speed 4.25mph and cover 25 miles. The same pair of 12V, 32amp power a three-wheeled scooter of 205lbs, with a maximum speed of 5.75 mph and cover 25 miles. The pair can be used for all other models of three wheeled scooters, with different lbs.

A 166lbs full weight four- wheel scooter empowered with a pair of 12V, 32amp battery, runs to a speed of 5.0 mph and cover 25miles. A 355 lbs four- wheel scooter is fitted with a 12V, 100amp battery that enables the scooter to achieve a max speed of 10mph and can cover 25miles, when charged once. A 270lbs, full weight four- wheeled scooter with a capacity of 400lbs, is set with a pair of 12V 40amp battery.

The extra heavy duty scooters with a weight of 280 lbs and maximum capacity of 500lbs are empowered with a pair of 12V, 48 amp batteries, that power the vehicle to a speed of 7.0 mph and covers 25 miles. Whereas scooters with 270 lbs and 309 lbs full weight and a maximum capacity of 500 lbs, run on a pair of 12V 32 amp batteries, that powers both the scooters to attain a speed of 5.7 mph and cover 25 miles and more.

It is advisable to drivers to not pay much for a pair of batteries. They cost an average of $40 a piece. It is essential to make sure that the scooter is charged twice a week, especially in winter.

I have trouble getting my scooter on its centerstand. Like a lot of other things, there is a technique to this. Even a small person can put a large motorcycle on the centerstand with the proper technique. Here's what I do: Hold the scooter with your left hand on the left grip. Put your right (or left foot) on the centerstand to hold it down. Put your right hand under the seat area, where there should be a railing or a grip. This is the place where you'll lift the scooter a bit. Now in one motion, push down with your foot while you tug back with your left hand and up lift up with your right hand. If you do all of these movements at the same time with the proper motion, you'll have zero problems.

Any person who uses skateboards, bikes or motorcycles must always utilize protective wear such as knee and elbow pads and a helmet. The same should apply to a child using an electric kid scooter. Remember to coach your child to always use a helmet the moment you give him or her a scooter. This way, your child will get used to the idea of wearing protective wear.

If you have an electric choke, check it to make sure it works. Check the resistance between the wires - you should see around 10 ohms or less. Measure the length of the choke assembly. Remove the choke from the carb and plug the wires into a 12V source for 15 minutes. The choke body should be warm. Measure the length again - it should increase by around 1/8".

Does your gasoline smell old? If the scooter has been sitting for over a year or so, the gasoline will turn look more like varnish than gasoline. If so, you'll have some serious cleaning to do. The gasoline will have evaporated for the most part, leaving a sludgy, molasses like substance in the gas tank, petcock, fuel lines, and the carb. All of these parts will have to be cleaned. This is especially a problem in the carburetor. Thoroughly flush out the gas tank and gas lines with new gas.

Starting fluid. Assuming sufficient compression, Squirt in a bit of starting fluid and see if she'll fire. If so, great! That means that you have sufficient compression and the proper spark. You should get the scooter to run for a second or so on starting fluid. If so there's a good chance you can get it running. One caution here - don't run your engine for very long on starting fluid because it's hard on the engine.

Believe it or not, your Honda and Yamaha scoots do have a small transmission. It's hidden away in a small area near the rear wheel. Don't forget about the tranny oil! There is only about 200cc of oil here - a very small amount. Most scooters use standard high quality engine oil and some take gear oil. If your scooter takes engine oil, it should be changed fairly frequently. The gears put a lot of shear stress on the oil, reducing its effectiveness over time. It is definitely a pain to change this oil and add the new oil, but it must be done. If not, the oil will eventually turn to a thick dark, molasses like stuff. Your bearings and gears will be very unhappy, and they will eventually fail. I once bought a Elite 150 from a nice lady who didn't change the tranny oil. The tranny on this scooter sounded horrible when it was ridden. She was lucky it had not locked up the rear wheel when she was riding, which would have probably caused a big crash. I bought it for $20 because she didn't want to have the tranny fixed. When I took the transmission apart, it was really in bad shape. Several gears and a few of the bearings were destroyed. I got it going again, but the cost of labor and parts was over $200. All because $0.25 of oil had not been changed...

Remove The Carburetor & Clean It. There are a lot of tiny fuel and air passageways in the carburetor that must be kept clean it order for your scooter to run right. Carefully, take the carburetor apart. This can be relative easy (on a 50cc scooter). The carb has tiny passages that can get gummed up. Your scooter will not run correctly if the carburetor isn't completely clean, so take your time. I use a gallon container of carb dip (you can get a gallon at your local auto supply store).

Buy An Electric Scooter - A Few Things Before You Buy An Electric Scooter

By S.M. Vaidya

Scooters are one of the best ways to travel in large cities. There are many benefits of using a scooter over a car for traveling in a city. The very first advantage of using a scooter is it's compact size and lightweight for easy maneuvering in traffic jams. This is the reason that there are growing trends amongst young individuals to go for scooter as a primary mode of transportation as compared to cars.

If you are thinking of buying a scooter there are many options and models available from a variety of price ranges and colors. But the best option is to buy an electric scooter and save a lot of running cost (and save our environment too from pollution).

To buy an electric scooter it is better to first understand why in the first place do you want to buy it. How often are you going to use it? Are you going to replace it totally with your car or you will be only using it occasionally during weekends? Answering these simple questions will have a better picture in front of you regarding what exactly are you looking for when you buy an electric scooter.

When you buy an electric scooter also keep in mind that if you have a large family, your other family members should be in a position to use it as well. For example if kids decide to drive it occasionally a three or a four-wheeler scooter is the best options this is also true with senior citizen. A three or a four-wheeler scooter is the most stable one and is easy to learn, hence is a perfect solution for long term investment.

Another important aspect while buying an electric scooter is to check the Internet with reviews and images of a particular model you have in mind. Many websites offer such reviews and tips for buying an electric scooter. Such kind of reviews will give you a first hand information on the efficiency, performance, after sales service, and many more important things about any model of electric scooter immediately.

These were just a few pointers that can help you make a good buying decision for electric scooters.

Got spark? First check for spark. There are a few ways to do this. The easiest way is to remove the spark plug and put it back in the spark plug cap. Then ground it to the engine - you should be able to lay it against a non-painted portion of the engine. Make sure there is good metal-to-metal contact. In a semi darkened area, attempt to start the scooter. You should see a definite spark at the tip of the spark plug. It's hard to see in direct light. If the color of the spark is blue, that means it's a strong spark. A white color is less strong, and a yellow color is weak. Most scooter starting systems are a bit weak (compared to cars). Even a yellow spark should start your scooter just fine. Next, the spark must occur at the right time. Just about all scooters made since around 1980 have electonic ignition. These systems rarely can be set. This is good news. After working on maybe 50 scooters, I've never seen one go out of time. Scooters with points are another matter. You'll have to follow the timing procedure in the manual to get the timing correct. In general, the spark occurs just before the piston reaches the top of it's stroke. There is a slight delay between the spark plug fire and the fuel-air mixture ignition. That's why the spark occurs a little early. Most ignition systems have an advance unit build in, so that as the engine speeds up the time of the spark retards a little bit and helps the engine fire the mixture at the proper time.

Run at least a pint of gas through to help flush the system. If you don't get a flow then it's likely your petcock is clogged. You have to remove it before you can disassemble and clean it. Carefully reinstall it on the gas tank or you could get a gas leak. Reassemble everything and try to start the scooter. It will take several seconds of cranking to get the gas to work its way from the gas tank to the carburetor.

So let's take a look at some safety ideas. Wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads. Children under the age of 12 should not ride motorized scooters. Avoid heavy traffic at all costs. Don't ride at night. If you have to ride at night, be sure you have a good headlight and a taillight as well as side reflectors. Wear sturdy shoes that have a good sole on them. If your helmet doesn't have a face shield, invest in a good pair of goggles are safety glasses. Avoid gravel or uneven roads. Know the local laws. Have insurance. Take a class on scooter safety. Many States provide these free of charge.

What's With All The Voltage?

By Matthew Smith

Every day, customers either come in the store or call and ask about this scooter and that scooter. I ask everyone the same thing. What are you planning on using your scooter for? Some as transportation to work or school and more than most, the scooter is for their kids. But what scooter should you buy and what�s the big deal about voltage?

Electric scooters over the years have evolved tremendously. One thing that voltage plays a major role in is output power. The more voltage, the more output power that is available; but that is not the sole factor that determines power and that is not the only role that voltage plays in your electric scooters.

Lets start with the traditional 12 volt system. Now-a-days, the small kids electric scooters are single twelve volt systems. As you increase in wattage, that is how many watts of power that is generated by your electric scooter engine, the more juice that is required to power that engine more efficiently.

With the interest in faster electric scooters, the 24 volt system was introduced. The 24 volt system is traditionally a trickle-charge system where two 12 volt batteries are simultaneously connected and then the whole system runs the engine, as well as any other add-ons that you have on your electric powered scooter. If your scooter has the traditional headlight, brake light, turn signals and the such, then your battery setup is more than likely a trickle-charge system and these extra add-ons along with the motor require more juice than a simple 12 volt system would be able to support.

The traditional electric powered scooter that has all the extras will be either a 24 volt system or for the heavy duty and longer lasting electric scooters, you will get a much better setup with a 36 volt system.

The higher voltage systems provide more power to carry more weight farther. With a 24 v0lt system, your average electric powered scooter can travel for about ten to fifteen miles; if you�re lucky. The 36 volt systems have reached a maximum of twenty-five to even thirty miles on a single charge. There are some 48 volt systems out there that can travel up to thirty-five miles on a single charge, by those are few.

Simple comparison: Take a 24 volt 500 watt electric powered scooter and put a two-hundred pound rider on it and it will go an average of 12-18 miles, depending on the scooter. Take a 36 volt 500 watt electric powered scooter and put the same two-hundred pound rider on it and it will go an average of 16-24 miles on a single charge.

As you can see, voltage does make a difference when you are talking about the actual distance and the distance that your electric scooter will take you before needing more juice.

Gas prices in your area have probably recently hit the three, four or even five dollar per gallon ranges. Simply fueling up your car probably can run you fifty dollars or more, easily. If you're tired of tanking up your tank, it might be time to consider a gas powered scooter. These babies can easily satisfy your transportation needs and still be gentle on your pocketbook and the environment.

Remove the fuel and vacuum lines that run from the petcock to the carb. Place a suitable container under the fuel line and draw air on the vacuum line to the petcock (if so equipped) and see how well the gas flows. The flow has to be more than a trickle. It should be steady and fairly substantial. If you get this flow, then you're ok.

If you have an electric choke, check it to make sure it works. Check the resistance between the wires - you should see around 10 ohms or less. Measure the length of the choke assembly. Remove the choke from the carb and plug the wires into a 12V source for 15 minutes. The choke body should be warm. Measure the length again - it should increase by around 1/8".

The Vespa LX 50 is another motor scooter that should be considered. You can do everything on this scooter, from zipping around town to get errands done to riding peacefully in the countryside. From the same pedigree as the first Vespa prototype that was built by Piaggio, this scooter is considered as being 60 years in the making. You are offered the utmost in terms of style, comfort, and performance, and you will quickly see scooter riding in a whole new light. The brakes on this motor scooter are advanced, and with them you can use the brake on the bike in confidence, without worry of it tipping over. It features LX's advanced mixed-type braking system, the front with a 7.8" diameter disc and the back a 4.3" diameter drum. With the halogen headlamp on the front providing strong illumination even at night, you can drive your scooter anytime and see exactly where you are going.

In the last couple of years, a lot of scooters have turned up for sale on eBay and Craig's List... from Vietnam. There are millions of Italian scoots in SE Asia, and a pretty big business in restoration has grown up around Saigon. Some of them even look pretty spiffy! But, my gawd, the horror stories about these restorations! Home-made parts, kilos of Bondo-like filler, even dangerous things (cracked welds, bad brakes, undersized or parted cables, painted-over or hidden casting failures). WATCH OUT.

I have owned about 40 Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha scooters over the years. Given basic maintenance I've generally found them to be quite reliable. Scooter owners tend to be more hands off than motorcycle owners, which is fine as long as the maintenance still gets done. A well maintained scooter may go 50,000 miles or more before a major rebuild. A poorly maintained scooter won't even last 5000 miles.

Buy An Electric Scooter - A Few Things Before You Buy An Electric Scooter

By S.M. Vaidya

Scooters are one of the best ways to travel in large cities. There are many benefits of using a scooter over a car for traveling in a city. The very first advantage of using a scooter is it's compact size and lightweight for easy maneuvering in traffic jams. This is the reason that there are growing trends amongst young individuals to go for scooter as a primary mode of transportation as compared to cars.

If you are thinking of buying a scooter there are many options and models available from a variety of price ranges and colors. But the best option is to buy an electric scooter and save a lot of running cost (and save our environment too from pollution).

To buy an electric scooter it is better to first understand why in the first place do you want to buy it. How often are you going to use it? Are you going to replace it totally with your car or you will be only using it occasionally during weekends? Answering these simple questions will have a better picture in front of you regarding what exactly are you looking for when you buy an electric scooter.

When you buy an electric scooter also keep in mind that if you have a large family, your other family members should be in a position to use it as well. For example if kids decide to drive it occasionally a three or a four-wheeler scooter is the best options this is also true with senior citizen. A three or a four-wheeler scooter is the most stable one and is easy to learn, hence is a perfect solution for long term investment.

Another important aspect while buying an electric scooter is to check the Internet with reviews and images of a particular model you have in mind. Many websites offer such reviews and tips for buying an electric scooter. Such kind of reviews will give you a first hand information on the efficiency, performance, after sales service, and many more important things about any model of electric scooter immediately.

These were just a few pointers that can help you make a good buying decision for electric scooters.
