Best feeling ever, I’m 32 years old I’ll never forget when I got my very first brand new one when I was like 15, prior to that I always had used ones. Fast-forward to when COVID started I bought one brand new and it was like reliving that moment all over again lol. I have a few peds now and a lot of money invested into them they mostly sit, but I love it for the nostalgia.
That’s awesome! I always wanted one, then I bought a clapped out sport when I was 20, and now I’m 27 got back into it again. I’ve built 3 more this year. I don’t ride them a ton but I enjoy the hell out of riding them and building them!
awesome man, i just bought the red Super GSR46R that was on closeout. had a used GSR sport growing up and excited to relive the memories again on a brand new one. enjoy it brother!!
That’s awesome and I’m jealous! I hope you make a video of it. Buying a brand new one made me want to buy another new one, it’s so much easier than rebuilding a ragged out used one😂
As an aussie I always wanted a goped when I was in my teens but they were pretty much impossible to get here. Nice to see you have a 'holden' in the back as well!
wth that thing looks so fun! i've never ridden a gas powered scooter like that but it looks like such a great time! maybe not necessarily with maintenance. it's too bad they're gonna stop selling these new
They are super fun! Maintenance/modifying is half of the hobby. They’ll still sell the rolling chassis for these (provide your own engine) or you can buy the new 4 stroke GSR. GSR air tire peds are leaps and bounds more stable and faster than these hard tire sports but also larger and more complex
i guess i’m just scared of maintenance cuz i don’t have any experience in it yet 🤦♂️ but otherwise that’s sick. i just checked out their website and they have so many great options. i was surprised by them selling normal kick scooters for like $250 and that just seems a little too overpriced. is that the model where you can put your own engine? all the models look like so much fun
Dude that’s awesome! I’ve never had a GSR Sport but it’s on my list. For RC engines (23-36cc) I don’t really do anything for break in. It’s a weed wacker engine, just run it. I’ve had maybe 6 small bore engines so far and haven’t had an issue with any of them. Goped may have a break in procedure if you want to be really careful. The larger 46cc engines MUST be broken in according to the procedure in the manual.
@roycenimchuk8425 it's good for break in to run non synthetic 25-1 mix on small bore 23cc-29cc do a few idling heat cycles before adding a load. Run 5 minutes cool till cold run again at least 3-5 times then start riding it and slowly build speed each ride. The easier you are on break in then tuning for power the cylinder plating and ring will thank you
@roycenimchuk8425 yes you can many types of 2stroke oil as long as for air cooled engines. I used to run redline forever ago but switched to Klotz early 2000's and stayed ever since
Hey 👋🏽 I noticed you said...your not going to mix 25:1 .. ok.. the LH .motor was 2 piston rings .. the motor you have is an RC G230rc that's an race engine .. idk how you got that engine in there . They usually come on super sports ,super xpeds , and some xpeds .. The best oil to use is 927 Castrol oil gold and black bottle .. 25:1 you'll hit 35mph easy ..
You can still buy all the parts to piece together a "brand new" goped sport but goped isnt making anymore "turn key"/ "factory assembled" ones. The newer sports are overall much nicer than the older models and the gp290 engine has the perfect amount if power for a stock sport its much better than the old school g23lh or g2d.
Rebuilding my sport with g290rc. Does anyone know if the throttle is supposed to stop before hitting the grips? Carb is opening all the way and it’s a stock cable. Thanks
If the carb is opening all the way then it’s fine. You can also adjust the cable at the carb to take up any slack when it’s closed/in the idle position
Nah, the newer gopeds are way better (except the super xped the original was better). The newer mach12 wheels are far superior to the 3 spoke wheels that always cracked, the gp290 engine will run circles around a g23lh or g2d engine, the newer ones have nicer handle bars and throttle lever, better grips and the newer style frames are actually more reinforced and much stronger than the old style frames. The older ones are just more nostalgic.
Best thing ever have a bunch of em. Worked for them back in the day

Remarkable purchase

Yeah these cars are incredible, GM really fumbled by not marketing them better

I’m going to order a closeout GSR Sport soon. And I’m wondering how you went about breaking in the engine?

@@hondayamahafan Okay great! that's all i was wondering. By the way It has the same 29cc engine that your sport has.

@ can I use castor?

Bad case of the scooter sweats

No way you're hitting 35 on it with a stock spindle, no pipe, and no hp carb.
This is a GPL290. 29cc. It’s the stock engine

Having owned an old G23lh sport too, this one is way nicer
sounds like a weedwhacker and I love it
It basically is a weed wacker engine! Similar to RedMax power equipment engines

Yeah carb is opening full. Lever just stops 3/4 of the way but maybe that’s the way it should be.
Also trying to get rid of the handlebar pole play. Feels loose. Everything is stock besides the motor
40-1 is all bad for a rc motor
Newer goped stuff they cheaped out on some things the old ones are much better
Nah, the newer gopeds are way better (except the super xped the original was better).

I feel like the old ones better . My blade z you is not lifting it up like that 😂 plus my dec top metal .. that thing is light
