A lot of side plastic and a fake exhaust?

Buy a used minarelli and forget about that thing? 5.5HP would look quite slow compared to what a relatively stock appearing Mina could do. $100 is a good price and you could toss in a replacement as cheap as a cylinder kit and gaskets or doing CVT maintenance I guess. You may wish you just bought a 2T after going through all the details of making a vertical shaft, single speed, 3200RPM max engine work. I'm all for customs, but go for at least 3X that HP if you're gonna put yourself through all of that.

Brilliant niz76! Oh, I didn't see the 3200rpm. Good catch 90GTVert. I just 5.5hp, which is double a stock gy6 clone 4T, $99. My brother and I have been thinking about stuffing an older Honda 350 vert in one. Figured we could just cut out the under storage and there would be plenty of plastic to hide it. Course then we always come back to 10" wheels which get kinda scary over 45mph (72kph). Maybe one of those silly tricycle scoots? Hmmmm.

Get a 44mm stroker crank, 50mm bore and you should put out about 10hp (using the 49cc case).

You could prob make some skirts and hide a 700-800cc riding mower engine under a trike scoot to have ~30HP and you could tow stuff.

I know how I am and if my brother showed up, with beer, of course, (I don't recall him ever drinking anything but) that 800cc would wind up a alcohol blown big block under a John Deere tractor.

Idk but have you seen craisin's disguise? Green scooter white boots! Baillie is really nice guy, I bet if you asked nice he'd give ya some good pointers scooterpimp, and might even let ya borrow the wig! jk much props to both you bros. I think Ben Franklin would be a better disguise/surprise negotiator on that one though. Hell around here my late uncle Ulysses Grant works really good. (yes he really is an uncle on my grandpa's side)
