@chubbarbineX19 The Trail Ripper is more then just good but just like any mechanical device you do need to take care of it and perform regular maintenance from time to time. Being a mechanic that works with Trail Rippers and other Go-Ped models, I can say that most problem issues people get faced with could have been avoided if they simply took the time to read, understand, and follow the advice of the Operator's manual.
@Naturepheonix 40 and 50:1 mixture is WAY to lean for that high output engine and the carb. jets should not be moved more then a 1/2 turn in either direction. If you have to run a leaner fuel/oil mix then try 32:1 but much leaner then that. The combination of leaning the fuel/oil mix and carb. jet setting may have created a problem. Make sure you have not over oiled your air filter. It only takes a very light coating so you do not restrict air flow. Plugs will foul with a restricted air flow.
Thanks, now it runs swell. Although this thing can't start on it's own, you always need to hold the throttle a little after choking it to get it started. But it's performance is awesome, really worth the price. Though it could be a little cheaper. Slap on some onroad tires and you got yourself a sport bike :D Running 32:, Needle settings stock-a little more rich. Full synthetic oil too.
I am having problems too, only ran 3 tanks through it. Mineral Based on like the instructions said, ran 25:1 for the first gallon then switch to 40-50:1 this dam thing already ate 2 spark plugs =.= that's why I moved to 40-50:1, also the carb has major problems. I went back to factory setting (L: 1 and 1/4, H: 2 and 1/2) problem was it was bogging everywhere. Idle and full throttle. Leaned it out but it also bogged as if it was starving for fuel. I already turned it in small increments, no use.
I personally love my Sport model and use it most of the time even though its 20+ years old now, but if you want/need bigger wheels then I think the GSR Cruiser would be a good model for you. If you want more speed and power and don't mind the engine being louder then take a close look at a GSR46R.
Introduced to Go-Ped via Andrew Camarata's YT "Fixing a bunch of small engines" and rather like it. Had to check Go-Peds out via their website hence, here now. Yep, want one--any model but, where is it legal around where I live. Must check that out, first.
One is a mini bike the other is a stand on powered scooter so its just a matter of personal preference. Performance is about the same between them. I am a stand on powered scooter guy so if you asked me, you can guess what I would say.
I use to have a Sport model go-ped.. always gave me trouble.. mabye b.c I weighed about 300l.b.s LOL.. I had to change spindle seemed like every month.. Anyways I'm def. looking to get another go-ped ( I don't weigh anywhere near 300l,b.s anymore, more like 190). I'd be using it to get to work/get around.. since where I live we have about 200miles of bike paths and trails ( mostly paved).. Which model would be the best suit me? Also, I wouldnt mind showing it off time to time meaning the mph TY.
just got the interceptor. Should the rear wheel move freely like the front wheel? it hard to adjust the rear brake cause it either stuck to the chain or stuck to the disk.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT NOW??? Tell me how much to screw outwards for Idle screw, HSN and LSN for the INTERCEPTOR! I am also planning to go back to 30-40:1. Please PMWgoped, I know you guys can do BETTER THAN THIS!
you can get a used car some grandma had for 20 years that runs better than some cars out nowadays for 800$...why the fuck would u sell a edger mower and a metal frame for 1200? time to rethink the business model
I agree but I bought one myself lol! That was about 7 year ago, I still have it and there's rust spots even when stored indoors. I just checked their website and looks like it's out of production too or made-by-order which goes to show
You can buy goped from grandma for 200$. This is a wrong comparison. Car from garbage and new hi-tech goped. Do you know price for a new racing car? Oped designed not for public road.
Why are groms $4,000? Why are dirtbikes $4,000? Imagine not only not being able to afford a motorcycle, but not being able to afford a scooter that is 2/8 the cost.
