Hey, i want to make my 50cc faster, it currently goes 50mph. its a spair 50 and got money to waste Wink.

is there a way of making a ped faster?, i mean, if i get sports things on like clutches and vairators, it will make it faster, but will it burn my engine out?.

Maximum velocity will be reached when teamed up with our friend gravity. AKA, if you want your ped to go fast, drop it off a cliff.

You're presumably already riding without a valid license or insurance, so just get a bigger bike now.

put a 125 engine in it, cheaper than tuning your 50 and just as illegal.

Money to waste is right. Just because your mate managed to turn a 100%+ profit on one deal doesn't mean he (or you ) could do it again and again. If the bike is a going concern sell it for whatever you get, if it isn't break it and sellit for spares. You'll make more money like that without the mess and hassle and you won't have the plod knocking on your door when the person you sold it to wraps it round a car and then claims he never knew it had an oversized engine because 'the seller told me it was standard'.

What rogerborg was trying to say is as soon as you mod that peds engine so it produces above like 8hp or what ever it is...it makes it completley illegal and there for makes your licence and insurace void your probly better saving you money and getting a bigger bike.. like ive got a dt125x fully derestricted so i cant really complain but im planning on doing my full test very soon so i can get somthing like a drz400sm or somthing Thumbs Up Very Happy

Mmm, actually, on reading the statutes, it appears that a moped is defined as not exceeding 50cc and not exceeding 50kph design speed.

So it looks like you can pimp the tits off of standard ped and still have it classed as a moped as long as you don't increase the capacity. So you're probably not riding without a license. Plod may disagree, and as we've seen, they do occasionally run Operation Pedboi Smackdown to catch you out.

Of course, if you don't disclose material facts to your insurer - like your ped now goes 2/3 faster than standard - then they'll be coming after you to recover their costs when you plough into a bus queue of nuns, orphans and kittens.

Your risk, your call.

really...

how can a clutch be sporty?!?!


Centrifugal clutch on a ped so a "sporty" one will have harder springs in it so it doesn't engage (dis-engage?) until higher up the rev range.

So you sit there revving loads until it actually moves off. Sounds like a fail plan to me.

Every time you want to set off you have to rag it.

Best thing you can get for them yeah. Like it does 0-60 in about 3 seconds, and tops out at over 110mph braap.

Who you trying to kid, kid?
You DONT have valid licence for it, you dont have valid insurance for it. Its NOt the bike described on the log-book or the insurance cert, becouse its been modified away from the declared specification.
And if you 'only' wanted to make money on the thing, you wouldn't be willing to chuck mega-wonga at it, would you?

Some-one crack out the Ieda super-mop, we have an outbrake of bovine ecrementia needs mopping up over here!

lol the shit people will buy cos my ped is faster than yours, god some kids are clueless.

I'm surprised 4 of those so-called electric super charger has been sold already............typical

Save up and get a proper bike! And no you won't make a profit at all, only 5% of those people that sell actually make a profit.

And are you really gonna waste more than 300 quid tuning the shit? Your mate probably hasn't actually done this anyway and is just saying. All my mates at the time were like this, not one had a clue what they were talking about!
