If you're interested in getting a scooter for wheelies, stunts, and general wild riding, the Genuine Roughhouse is a GREAT option! With an updated clone of the Yamaha Zuma engine (but with tons of updates and made better) as well as the cvt of a 50cc GY6. This gives you tons of options for modification at a really affordable cost.
After stunting my roughhouse for a bit here are some things I have noticed that you should do if you plan to do wheelies etc:
1. Reinforce the seat hinge. Its made of plastic and is a weak point
2. The stock throttle setup is not great, i like the NCY quick throttle WAY more.

3. A street tire on the rear wheel will help tremendously. I use the Dunlop "ScootSmart" tires.
4. The stock grips will tear up your hands, so aftermarket grips are recommended.
5. A lower rear shock will also help tremendously, the stock shock makes the rear really high, making you have to lean back more for wheelies.

6. Tape the oil tank cap down, it is only held on by pressure and if you have a full tank while doing a wheelie, it will slowly back its way out and dump oil all over your engine
7. remove the center stand. It sits very low and when coming down from a 12 o clock wheelie it can hit the ground and be dangerous.

8. The rear brake lever is a weak point and will break from normal use. In 1 year i have purchased 3 rear brake levers and have never dropped the scooter. If you get a Naked Handlebar setup id highly recommend a 2 finger clutch lever, they can be used for the rear brake.
9. Pro Taper bars and the Stem Adapter are highly recommended. This allows you to have a more custom setup. I would also extend the throttle cable if you do this.
10. The rear "axle" bearing is a weak point. I replaced mine with one from ALL BALLS RACING and it has been performing great even after 3600 miles
11. You can wheelie a stock roughhouse, but it is recommended to make sure you have all the restrictors removed (exhaust, cvt, etc)
12. The cheapest, easiest way to make your roughhouse wheelie ready, is to lower your stock weights by 1 gram, and improve the flow of your air box with ONE or TWO (no more) holes drilled in the intake side. You may have to upjet to compensate.
Ill add more as I think of them or run into anything. Hope this helps anyone wanting to learn to wheelie on their Genuine Roughhouse
