150cc cheap scooter

1. The downside of smaller wheels is that they don t roll over obstructions in the road as well. Just think of a pothole in the road. If it s a large hole and a small wheel. the wheel could fall into it! Even if it s a raised obstruction like a tree branch or a curb. a larger wheel will roll over it with less effort than a small wheel. That s one reason why off-road trucks often have monster wheels. When you re driving over rocks a big wheel makes life easier. Similarly. if you re riding over roads filled with potholes (for example New York City!). you ll value larger wheels.

2. Not only will you save money on the purchase. but you will also save at the gas pump. This moped scooter pumps out around 80 to 100 miles per gallon. Compare that to 25 mpg for the average small to mid-sized car. Now you can still get to your destinations. but you ll have a lot more cash on hand to spend on yourself. rather than your commute.

3. But what if you are located outside of California, we have a few suggestions for you. You can try contacting local motorcycle (or better still, scooter) repair shops. If they are not very enthusiastic about working on a Chinese scooter, no worry! Have them contact our tech support department directly. We will make sure they will have the easy access to our spare parts and the technical support they need. Remember, we are the only company who actually carries all common parts in stock.

   150cc engine and transmission as used in many Chinese scooters

   You might also get some help from a lawn mower repair shop. They are used to working on small engines and the engine in a scooter isn’t all that different from the engine in a lawn mower. You can also try snowmobile and ATV repair shops.

   CVT (transmission) belt. Price ~ $40. Belt life anywhere from 2500 to 10,000 miles

   It’s not a bad idea to keep a few spares (such as a spare spark plug and CVT belt) on hand, just in case you need them (and eventually, you will). It’s a good idea to remove the CVT cover on your new scooter and read the number on the belt BEFORE you need to change it. Belt sizes vary, even on the same nominal scooter “model” and by the time it fails, the size markings may have worn off! The belt size is usually three numbers such as “835-20-30″. This would mean the belt is 835mm long, 20mm wide and has a cross section with a 30?? bevel angle.

   The best way to avoid needing repairs is regular maintenance, which means changing the oil regularly, changing the fuel filter and spark plug at the proper intervals, checking the CVT belt and air filter, checking the tires and going around the scooter at least once a month and making sure that all the bolts are tight (especially the bolts holding the muffler on). Use the recommended grade of gas (usually higher than 90 octane for most Chinese scooters) and add fuel stabilizer if the scooter isn’t going to be driven for a while.

   Though you won’t find individual repair manuals for every different Chinese scooter, they are all pretty similar and many use the same engines and transmission parts.. There are a couple of books which may help. The Haynes guide is probably the best general reference for the repair of “generic” (i.e. Chinese) scooters. The “Complete Idiot’s Guide to Motor Scooters” is pretty basic and really doesn’t give much detailed information, though it’s not a bad introduction to scooters if you really know nothing at all about them.

4. Gas
   A spark
   Cylinder compression
   If your scooter won’t start it due to one of the above not being present. Before you start troubleshooting, make sure there is gas in the tank by actually looking into it. Don’t just trust the gas gauge!

   Most scooters have four things that need to be done before they can be started with the electric starter:

   The ignition has to be turned on
   The kill switch (usually near the right grip) has to be in the “on” position
   The rear (left) brake lever has to be squeezed.
   The starter button must be pressed.
   Some scooters may have other interlocks on the front brake or the center stand. Check your owner’s manual to make sure that you are doing all you need to?? complete the electrical circuit which enables it to start.

   If the scooter doesn’t turn over when you’ve done all the required operations, there’s an electrical problem with the battery. Make sure the battery is charged. If it is, make sure the fuse hasn’t blown. If it hasn’t, check to see if you are getting voltage to the starter motor terminals. If you are, the starter motor is likely defective. Many scooters have a kick start (see your manual). If the battery is OK and the starter motor doesn’t work, try kick starting it. It’s usually not too hard. My scooter usually starts OK on the 2nd or 3rd kick.

   If the scooter does turn over but still doesn’t start you have to check for a spark and make sure gas is getting to the engine. To check for a spark, remove the spark plug from the cylinder, hold the tip of the plug against the cylinder head and crank the engine. You should see a spark across the gap. If you don’t, there’s a problem with the ignition. Could be a faulty coil or electronic ignition module which will have to be replaced, or it could just be a lose wire.
