Chinese Scooter

[KOTA]

This is what it looks like. I messed up on the very LAST step. I broke the bolt that mounts the front fender and speedo cable. So the fender is just sitting on the wheel. I swear they make bolts, in China, out of balsa wood......I changed as many as I could.....It's almost done! ........This thing runs sweet.



Edit 5/23: COMPLETELY FINISHED

Looks good Larry! We need some riding pics!

Nice ride Larry. I inherited my daughter's 2003 Honda Metro. I have to change the oil and the computer chip. You've just inspired me to get it done.

Do the Chinese ones come with a steel frame or did they copy Honda and make an aluminum front frame?

[KOTA]

It's all steel.

Well done Larry!

Will it be possible to upgrade the bolts, as shearing bolts at low torque settings can be a bit disconcerting, especially on a motor scooter.

Nonetheless, enjoy your new ride, you’ve earned it!

You should put KOTA over the Dong Fang

Good, it sounded like a really painful men's disease.

I'm ready for action shots.

I got Mark/Kram to buy this one for me in Utah. He took it all apart and shipped it to
me in four boxes. I put it back together and stuck a 110cc auto motor on it. I love mine.



Put together and changed some.


Glad you got yours going. Should be fun. I know mine is

Uncle Stretch... that scooter is amazing!

Was it originally a 50cc scoot?

[Uncle Stretch]

Yeah when they first brought them here they were 50cc and no shifting.
I picked up a new 110cc 4 speed automatic with and electric start for $200 and
I stuck that one on it when I put it back together. I have had a ball with mine.

I just love the styling, but I want to stay with under 50cc on anything I get so I won't have to get my motorcycle endorsement and insurance. I really need to get my motorized bike back together.

[Uncle Stretch]

Well that being the case , you need this one. Its Kota's with a 50cc motor.
