Super budget 50cc scoot! (50mph for under $300??)

[CrankingWithCG]

Been needing to scratch my itch for another build for a while.  So, on a whim.  Bought 2 bikes over christmas.  Neither running.  Super clean red Peace Sports 50 for 50 bucks, and a really janky beat up Dykon Fugati (50cc VIP style bike) for 75 bucks.  Was originally wanting  the peace sports to wheelie cause I thought the VIP would be too long and bulky.  I have my 155cc VIP and that bike feels decently sized to wheelie.  12 inch tires, long compared to a 50, kinda unruly except youre on the back wheel going straight at a decent speed.  What bike i didny keep was getting stripped for parts for my sister to fix our passed aunts 50.  I wanted to give the VIP a chance though.  New carb, airbox and new gas......figures I fall in love with it even as I was about to tear it apart 😂.

Kick start, electric start, headlights, tail lights, and horn all work.  Runs almost perfect and is genuinely almost more fun than my 150 sometimes.  Im sorta over the "loathing slow bikes" phase the more I ride with the mini bike group.  She got all new plastics today, way better shape than the old ones, aired up the tires, honestly for 75 bucks it has no right to be as good as it is but I love it.  Does between 35-39, cruises between 25 and 30.  It wheelies surprisingly good for a stock 50, just cant hold top end power well to carry a decent speed wheelie.....that changes soon 😂

Ordered a setup from partsforscooters.  Trying to go a little cheap since its gonna be a beater/stunt ped.  Universal 47mm bore kit, carb jets, rollers, new belt, and a 1500rpm center spring.  Gonna try working on my tuning more.  Stock carb, airbox (maybe), stock exhaust for quietness, stock variator, stock head for a lil more compression.  No cam or anything yet.  Hopefully i can get the cvt dialled with that 72 kit.  50 is probably a stretch but ill be happy with anything at or over 45.  Cruise speed like 35-40. 


Last 2 bore kits i installed were SMM kits.  First a 50mm.  Bike started slowing down bad after about 2 months and trying to retune.  Latest was a 47mm (they changed and kept the price the same??).  Piston had a chip so we ended up having to use a beat up 50mm i had laying around.  SMM isnt horrible, but id rather buy from a better supplier this time around and do more with less.  Just need her to rip enough for good wheelies and response up till about 30ish.

75 for the bike, 160 for the kit....id say were in pretty good shape so far!

Before the new panels, first test ride:

Welp....i got a sore ass for new years 😂

Was doing a little wheelie session with my buddy on our XR50. These Chinese 50s have such horrible and inconsistent throttle response, you can pin the throttle trying to save a wheelie and itll bog down for 2 seconds theeeen pick up.

Of course.....except today. Popped up at 5mph, thing immediately ripped into full power and threw me off. Went onto my ass, still pinned and the bike kinda dragged me for a bit. Still vertical, it finally ripped away from me and slid another 5 feet in a 12 o clock wheelie before finally rolling.

Gave me an excuse to repaint and remount the panels. Shattered the tail light and literally everything broke off. New pics with the new paint coming tomorrow. Not wheeling it too much anymore until the 72 kit gets in to give it better throttle response 😂

Whelp, not for sure yet, but the 50 may be going bye bye boys. I can make a fair bit, and have a few offers on marketplace. The big bore kit didnt work out, took a bit and still never got shipped. Figured i could either buy a new bike ive never owned go gain a new experience or put the money into my 155 and Typhoon (yes, i got the Typhoon back) 😂

In tuning news, it looped on me cause the slipping belt made throttle response horrible and it randomly caught. Had a too wide, too short belt in it. Threw in a used Gates 669, and my god it woke it up. High ass rpms right away now. No more falling on its face, itll hold a wheelie on power and throttle response is sooo much better

Heres the new paint!  Its got subtle blue and copperish sparkle, cant even see it till you put light on it

Sad tales boys. Got an offer i cant refuse on the 50. Rode it across town thru snow and 18 degree chill, but i came away with a 345 dollar profit for basically just a weekend worth of work. Eventually when i have a reason to keep around a qmb (already have 2 bikes needing finished) ill do a proper build on one. For now, gonna go ahead and buy stuff for the Typhoon and 155. Ngl, i miss it. The new belt made it genuinely quick for a 50
