We hit the local abandoned car auction and saw that these six Chinese mopeds were starting at just $10. A few bids later, Ike brought home 6 abandoned mopeds for $18. In today's episode, we try to get as many broken mopeds running again for as cheap as possible.

Tech tip: Most of these scooters, you need to hold the back brake lever in while pushing the "start" button in order for the starter to kick in.

actually 99.999999 % os scotoer are like that. even zuma. so i dont get the "most of THESE scooters". THESE ???

@emersonb5764 Год назад

You could very likely sell that pistol magazine for what you paid for the scooters. Everyone else calls those scooters. A moped tends to look more like a bicycle and has pedals like a bicycle. A moped would be manually pedaled in addition to applying throttle to accelerate up to speed or go up hills and then the engine keeps you cruising.

@BeamBinge Год назад

Pedals are mostly a legal requirement. Those things are plenty powerful enough to drive unassisted.

@gorgosanma Год назад

They might get all what they paid for just selling that lol

@metalface8515 Год назад

Mopeds have pedals but can start any way needed, and pedaling doesn't really benefit them unless they are incredibly underpowered. (Source: I have a few incl. a Tomos LX) It makes them technically bikes-with-engines, but a scooter is a moped, as far as a lot of laws are concerned. ("Something under 50cc with top speed of 35mph--most of the time")

@fiftyracer192 Год назад

A moped in most places defines a bike with a engine of 50cc and a max speed of 30mph. The law hasn't required pedals since the 70s in most places. And the common meaning of the word has changed, words can change over time.

@andrewgee241 Год назад

True that actual mopeds had pedals but many state laws never changed to reflect the market shift from mopeds to scooters. In Virginia scooters with 50cc engines are referred to in state law as mopeds.

@middlesiderrider Год назад

I got into Chinese scooters three years ago and I've built and sold a couple dozen in that time. The cheapest I've ever bought was $12.50(got two for $25). Most of them are sold as "blown up" or needing an engine, but 99% of the time the main problem is tight valves. And bad fuel lines. Also, the Jonway is a 50, Charles' looks like a 150+(considered a motorcycle not a scooter), and I'm not sure on Ike's, but it looks like it has more pep than a 50

@timkottman6694 Год назад

Charles is for sure a gy6 150cc, and it’s the short case as well. The 150cc engines are top mount(typically) and the 50cc qmb139 is always bottom mount.

@mopedmessiah Год назад

Charles and Ike are 150 for sure. John has a 50

@CZ350tuner Год назад

A scooter can have an engine capacity ranging from 50cc to 650cc, It is the fact that the engine & transmission are mounted as part of rear suspension arm, in a well frame, that classifies a bike as a scooter. If the engine is midframe mounted, with a Carden shaft or drive chain to the rear wheel, in a well frame, it is classified as a step through motorcycle (Honda Cub,, Super Cub, etc.). If the step through motorcycle has body panelling, covering it,, then it is classified as an enclosed motorcycle (Triumph Tina, CZ 175-501, etc.).

@machinist5828 Год назад

Here in South Carolina we call those mopeds "licker sickles". Those are what the drunks ride when they have lost their drivers license because of DWI's. The curse of the highway as you run up on them so quickly. Also you get stuck behind them in opposing traffic. Often not maintained with no lights at night. Great for buzzing around a trailer park or crack house complex. Have fun guys! Cheers Terry

I owned a scooter just like Ike's back in high school. Had the same streamline shape, chrome, and wide sweeping handle bars. It had a 125cc engine. it was my first vehicle. Bought it used for $150 and rode it for three years. I put over 5000 miles on that scooter. I modified it for power and looks. Bigger carb jets and a sick under glow RGB body light kit. The top speed was 60 mph. I sold it when I bought a full size motorcycle. Kinda wish I kept it with gas reaching $7.00 a gallon in Socal. The scooter got 70 MPG. That's a whole lot of smiles per gallon.

@scottcol23 Год назад

Ive been messing with cheap Chinese scooters for years and I can 100% tell you that blue CDI is garbage. They are sold as "performance" but all they do is leave you stranded. The best CDI you can get is from a Yamaha Zuma 50. In fact all the zuma parts are considerable upgrades over anything you will find on these. But honestly any stock CDI is better than those blue boxes. Also you can get more speed out of these by removing the little plastic bushing that hides behind the variator (CVT clutch). Just remove the belt cover and remove the bolt holding the variator on the engine. Only half will come off. then slip the belt off and you will find a little platic ring that prevents the CVT from fully opening, which restricts the speed by limiting its travel. You should get over 40mph after removing it. I love the content! been watching for over 6 years!

@lancewashington3910 Год назад

Im really loving this scooter content i really hate how ppl give them crap they are to much fun

@musicauthority3516 Год назад

One thing for sure there's way more than sixty eight $ worth of parts there. the previous owners sure had those scooters cobbled together. Charles has an uphill battle with that birds nest of wiring. John has a siren on his thanks to Ike. (an idea) it would interesting to take the running gear from one of those scooters. and build a frame to fit the running gear in. and make a cool mini bike out of it. just an idea.

@areomyst Год назад

I had a whole lot of fun watching you all get the scoots going again! I used to work on Chinese scooters all the time, and it was funny watching you discover the "typical" things - household wire nuts, metal pez dispensers, construction screws in the airbox, etc. It was even more fun seeing the successful repairs and hearing the friendly shop talk! I wonder if you'd like to continue the fun - I'm in central NC and I have an inertia chassis dynamometer. Wanna bring the scoots out for a dyno day?

@sirrotten6963 Год назад

been watching you guys for a while now and enjoying it very much keep up the good work, what you guys got a hold of in this episode are called scooters, a moped is a very specific vehicle, it has to have pedals has to be under 50cc, and I believe the tires have to be at least 17 in. the thing was the under 50cc and limited to 35 mph has to do with having a motorcycle license. :-)

@07TriggerHappy Год назад

Mopeds can have 14 or 16in tires, but otherwise yes. Speed is also dependent on the state you’re in. Ohio can’t be above 20mph.

@zBrainlezz Год назад

Yes, various states have different maximum speed laws for these things... 17MPH is the slowest I've heard of, 30MPH is the quickest. Also, can confirm, at least in California, it has to have pedals to be legally considered a moped.

@Tacritania Год назад

It varies a lot around the world too. Up here in Scandinavia, it's 49cc max and limited to 45kph (28mph) but you can get the license as a 16yo for very little money. The moped/scooter definition is hazy here, everything is called a moped in this class whether it looks like a scooter or a superbike, manual/cvt etc etc.

So crazy! Ohio moped laws require they have pedals and be registered, with plates etc. Seems like other states may be a little more lax on this.

@chrishorst6993 Год назад

Yes Mopeds have petals and don’t need a motorcycle license. Scooters no petals

@zBrainlezz Год назад

Moped laws in California are similar. Source: used to live in NorCal. Main legal difference between mopeds and full-on motorcycles, in that regard, is that mopeds in California have a lifetime registration, so no need for renewal or a new registration sticker every year.

Moped & 50cc speed restrictions globally: 22 MPH = Holland 25 MPH = Some US states 30 MPH = UK, EU & some US states The 30 MPH 50cc speed restriction was caused by the Puch versus Kreidler "Moped Speed War" of the 1970''s These Austrian 50cc motorcycle manufacturers competed against each other to produce the world's fastest 16er 50cc moped, creating bikes with top speeds that today's 50cc scooter riding kids can only BS about achieving. Puch came out with the 72 MPH Grand Prix. Kreidler came out with the 80 MPH Florette. Numerous governments looked on in horror, then passed killjoy legislation to restrict 16er mopeds to 30 MPH.

@zBrainlezz Год назад

Very interesting, I didn't know this before. I have a Kreidler 50cc from 1979... Unfortunately it's been sitting around for a while due to a horrendous rod knock, and the necessary replacement parts are extremely expensive, so I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to ride it again. :( Oh, and also, I believe a few US states have 20MPH speed laws for those things, and at one time a few even had 17MPH restrictions (not sure if those are still so stringent).
