Breathe New Life intoYour 50cc Scooter - Business
People wrongly assume that displacement is the ultimate criterion for any motorized scooter. Within any specific range of displacements, there is an immense scale of differing qualities and performances in terms of the scooter parts used, that influences the ride quality that the vehicles are capable of delivering. For example, there is a significant difference between the performance of a Baja, and a higher quality variant of the same class-- the Yamaha Zuma 50 2T.
While the Baja, like most entry level 50cc scooters, feels rather flimsy and undernourished for a seasoned driver, the Yamaha Zuma 50 2T seems to have impressed even enthusiasts. With a light and powerful two stroke engine and a solid chassis, the Zumais a winner all through. So, what is it the Baja lacks that the Zuma makes up for? It is certainly not the mere size of the engine-- it is the quality of the scooter parts.
This is why amateur enthusiasts and professionals alike will insist on high performance scooter parts for any rider that wishes to enhance his scooting experience, in terms of comfort, speed, or even style. After all, the timeless, sharp and glossy finish of the Yamaha Zumais only one of the many factors that make it a prime contender in the 50cc segment.
Most riders are attracted to the smaller segments due to the durability and affordability of the scooters, and the excellent mileage. While the Baja may be otherwise forgettable, it did offer an on-paper value of a 100 mpg. This value, alas, was only theoretical, and actual mileages varied from 70-80 mpg. But with the right tweaks and aftermarket replacements, a decent figure of 90 mpg was actually quite feasible. This is the difference great scooter parts can make, even in 50cc scooters.
Two stroke engines work significantly better in the 50cc segment, if you're looking for a swift, responsive ride. Four strokes are often too heavy for these capacities, and tend to fare a bit sloppier when travelling up hill. A few advantages a four stroke would have would be that compared to two strokes', they are less susceptible to overheating due to the fuel to air ratio being too lean or rich. Four strokes are also much more reliable and will take a lot more abuse. It is advisable, however, to use reliable parts in both these engines, when looking at aftermarket retooling or repairs. Engine life and health are greatly improved with the right parts.
Tires, suspensions and chassis are only some of the concerns you must undertake to enhance the comfort and experience of riding a 50cc scooter. The suspensions must feel crisp and taut, the chassis sturdy-- lightweight, but not flimsy; the tires should be a compatible size and should maximise road grip and stability. Being a two-wheeler, it is essential to ensure safety, especially in entry level segments.
High quality scooter parts not only increase the life and quality of your scooter, but positively alter your riding experience. Parts sourced from good manufacturers in your 50cc scooter go a long way in ensuring a safe, economical and pleasant ride that you might just like getting used to.
