has anyone ever attempted to stick a 150cc 2 stroke in a scooter frame? im sure you would have to make your own mounts and such, and probably your own body panels, but that would be one BA bike! and also...is it possible to convert a 4 stroke to a 2 stroke? i doubt it, i'd say their made completely different...ever since i got into scooters, these are the ideas thats been going through my head...i know many of you will shun me for this, because a 150 2 stroke isn't meant for a scoot, its meant for a motorcycle, but...i generally like the setup of a scoot better then a motorcycle thats why im asking. :scoot2: :wheelie: :angelgrin:

If this is a dirtbike or motorcycle engine I assume it has a manual gearbox. You'd need to fabricate a motor mount, swingarm setup, use a chain to drive the rear wheel, switch your controls around so you can have a clutch lever, and more. It's something that would probably take a great deal of time along with good welding and fabrication skills.
The other way would be to see if you could chop the CVT off of a scooter engine and graft it onto the new engine. Again, lots of time and skills involved here.
Short answer, there's no easy way to do it. The easiest way to get a big 2T in there is probably going to be to look into a Vespa or Stella.

Another thing not mentioned is that by making a small scooter go really fast then you run the risk of injury cause the brakes are usually small on the front so you can get brake fade. Also, the higher speeds put higher stresses on the small frame so it could break on you at 60 MPH causing you to visit the emergency room and/or the morgue.

I have noticed brake fade, and reduced stopping power.. Frame wise seems to be holding, but im watching it closely. May I also add your 10 inch rims arnt designed for these speeds. Im looking into heaver ones already as my rear has developed a slight wobble. Just knoticed this today drivlng it.
