50cc Scooter Questions

[MrYettah]

Hey there,

I'm about to be getting a new scooter soon and was looking for recommendations and if also some thoughts on what I've been looking at.

Currently, I'm interested in one of the Taotao 50 Racer scooters, one for looks and two because I don't see many people doing mods with it though I know you can big bore it and get a better carb, jet it properly etc.. But I was thinking of eventually doing a 150gy6 swap like I'd done in the past for my old Honda Ruckus, sadly not in the family anymore.

In the end I'm hoping to be able to put two springs on the back end, with a 150cc gy6 and a larger rear tire to match the front, bigger carb, air filter, jet it right and tune it to Denver altitude to make it run smooth.. Thoughts?

Also really interested in hearing other ideas, I don't plan on doing all this at once and if I did get a racer 50 I might just big bore it if that's the only way I can go.. Thanks in advance!
