Bro, this is Adam! I just got back into gopeds again and was curious if there were any new methods to installing these tires and happened to find your video. I remember you and I doing the soapy water method way back in the day. Super cool to see you still have a goped.
The applecore spindle is a neat idea/concept but in the real world(especially the shred ped ones) they dont work too well. They are extremely heavy which robs power and will disintegrated your tires super fast(youll be lucky to get more than 1 hour runtime out of a new tire). Also they cause alot of drag so if your using a stock/mild engine performance will be significantly lost. The only good thing is that they hook up great if your running a high output engine(basically no tire slip) and if your not running a beadlock in the back the spindle does help keep the tire from walking around at speed but not as good as a beadlock. All in all i would definitely say that they aren't worth th $80+ they want for them new, just stick with blackmagic or knurled spindles.
So when I reset my rear wheel on my sport today and got it set up on a milk crate to cold start and warm up. Well 5 mins into light throttle revs to warm it I look below the rear wheel and there is a huge pile of tire dust unearth it. When I looked at the rear wheel/spindle it looked fine but I know something is having lots of friction.. what could it be my man? Any ideas?
Since it is a friction driven scooter it is pretty normal for your to accumulate tire dust on your Goped! The spindle makes direct contact with the rubber tire.
Boa noite amigo tudo bem... eu peguei um goped 29cc recentemente, mas aqui no Brasil não tem muitos ...teria uma forma de quando eu estiver andando e quando eu parar ele o motor continuar ligado ??? Ou só substituindo o motor de um outro modelo ??? É muito ruim desse jeito você está andando e quando para o motor desliga .
Sim, eles vendem um kit de embreagem de scooter centrífuga ADA de 54 mm neste site. www.ddmracing.com/ada-54mm-centrifugal-go-ped-scooter-clutch-kit por cerca de US $ 70, isso deve permitir que você mantenha o motor funcionando em marcha lenta. Espero que isto ajude! Com frete internacional pode ser um pouco mais obrigado!
Ok so just outta curiosity…is there any differences between the newer style frames vs an Xped frame cause I seen on an Xped frame you need extensions in order to run a .750 spindle
You should be fine running .750 spindle on a new tire on an xped frame. I don't think there is any difference between the two frames when it comes to dimensions.
