The Truth About Fast 50cc Scooters
Scooters have been around for a long time, more than 50 years, and are a popular form of alternative transportation. They are great for getting you around town and to and from work. The main reason they are so popular is their great gas mileage. Many can get over 60 mpg and some even get up to 120 mpg.
There are many different types and sizes of scooters but the most popular size is the 50cc scooter. Motor scooters of that size only go about 30-35 mph but are capable of much higher speeds. Fast 50cc scooters are possible but it takes some modification. Restrictors are used on the fuel line or exhaust pipe to limit these size scooters down to legal speeds where they are used. That is about 33 mph. To get yours to go any faster you have to remove the resitrictor, or de-restrict your scooter. Some garages will do this or you can do it yourself. Just be aware that it is ilegal in many states and look up laws in your area first before trying it.
