Yup..you win. All the Pro's here that build them to race and have been building the GY6 50 engine for years..cannot beat that. 7,200 rpm at 50+ mph is good..I can't even come close. But..if your Speedo shows it..it has to be right. Did you get a vid of your Speedo readings on your cell phone cam? We would like to see the results. Way to go and congrats!! If that was only 7,200 then redline at 8,000 should get you close to 55? Or in that ballpark anyway..:tup:

A bad tire? Not sure what you mean. Like it was flat? Confused.That should not make it go fast. Or are you saying it would take 8,300 rpm if the tire was soft? Sum it up if ya would and tell us what you did to hit 50+ mph with a stock 50cc Scooter. We would like to do that too ya know, so no secrets allowed?:shrug:

But on a tiny engine like ours...it would take exactly 100 Scooter engines to equal 305 cubic inches.(same as the 5.0L engine) For more power you need ..more rpms..more displacement...Nitrous Oxide..Nitromethane based fuel.. All of which will grenade your engine. A 24mm carb and 150 intake are overkill and will not do it...the engine simply CANNOT draw in that much air/fuel. Therefore I would opt for the 'Road Runner' cartoons ACME Jet Pack..
