Out for a night ride. Must improve the headlight somehow on the 50, shame it's AC powered. If your scoot has an H4 plug, maybe you can swap that candlelight for an LED light unit. They come with cooling fans or heatsinks and are way brighter.

Over here they are illegal over here now unless fitted as standard fitment. Will fail the annual inspection. Something to do with the light beam is distorted through the lens, and not the correct spread of light. A lot of people fitted them about five years ago.

I had a Silverstar H4 60/55W in my TaoTao for a bit. It was very bright. It was also very hot. It was OK for me, but if you sit still for a long time with it on it may start to melt the housing. I had to convert mine to fit H4. I also tried some 45W H4s that made less heat. They didn't light up the road like the Silverstar, but they were better than stock bulbs. Not sure if a higher watt bulb would be an issue for your inspections. 49ccscoot.proboards.com/post/100141/thread

I forgot how strict the MOT is. In my state 50cc's don't need to be inspected. Tax, tags, and insurance is all you need to be legal.

Just been to people's market in town with daughter and grand kids and also worked out my fuel consumption on the 70cc rat scooter on local runs. For 0.776 imperial gallons I am getting 91 mpg. Say Speedo is out by 10% that would be 81 mpg not bad me thinks

It's my birthday and I can eat what I want to. Do I have to be a sensible adult now at 66? Nope don't think I will, what would the kids do having no one to whinge at.

I suppose that headlight would be good for illuminating the seagulls, trying to pinch you're chips at night. At least they are easily fixed.
