Will a 150cc moter fit into a 50cc frame and does it take a crazy amount of work to do it if so.

Some scoots were setup for either as I hear it, but I imagine that's kinda rare. The GY6 50 and 150 have their mounts in different spots, one top and one bottom, so it takes fabrication to make it work. I don't suggest that anyone swaps engines unless you are prepared to do some metal fab. Then you may also need to change out wiring components etc...

yeah 50ccs are about 98% bottom mounted the 150cc are 98% moutned towards the top, I've seen a a 50cc frame with a 150cc engine in the lad had some basic fab work done by his dad who was a welder. unless you can weld I doubt you'd be able to pull it off

those are for show or the track only not for the road, the bike doesnt do anything but go in a straight line well with that.

Besides, for that price, buy yourself a 150cc. If your thinking is to make a 150cc appear as a 50cc for legal purposses, it's still not technically legal without the motorcycle license if you get pulled over. Likely to get the scoot impounded.

That's true, Mines a sleeper, looks like a 50 cc but it's actually 90 cc.. Anything over 49 cc in Indiana is considered a motorcycle, MC endorsement, insurance and tags are required.. And for me I had to take my MSO to the Indiana DMV a pain in the as*. show them it was modified and show them the current displacement and have a title issued.. Only then could I get the Insurance and Plates.. It was a huge pain in the butt, better to buy a 150 and be done with it.. And if your impounded without a legal title for your scooter, Not a MSO a title, proof of insurance and tags. It's going to be very very hard to get it back if at all.. |

Keep an eye out in the build section. I'll be posting pics of my 150 swap. It is taking a lot of fab work. I removed the top mount from a 150 frame to use on the 49 frame as well as the shock mounts.
