Larger wheel upgrade???

monroe · 07-10-2014, 01:10 AM

Hello everyone, got a question for the awesome people on this forum... I have a 2010 znen flyscooter il bello 150cc with a 10" wheel on the front and back. Can a 12" wheel fit on the front while using the stock OEM parts that are on the scooter now like the disc brake rotor, caliper, speedometer, and plastic stock front fender.

For an 12 inch wheel you need a long case engine assy. (Assuming you have an GY6 Clone)

Would the tire even fit through the forks and fender?? Most of the forks w/ fenders I've seen are pretty narrow...

i have a 10" x 3.50 on the scooter now and ive found 12" x 3.50 online and my scooter looks like it has enough space under the front fender but i dont know about using the stock parts off the 10" wheel and putting them on the 12" if that affects the performance

less acceleration better top end =less rpms

OKay, for the front end you need to have at least two inched of room currently from the top of your tire to the lowest point of the fender. if you do then you should be able to fit a 12 inch tire. But the question is way? It won't improve handling or milage and may screw up your speedo readings. Plus you have to change the front brake caliber and bracket.
