I traded my Ebike for a TaoTao 2017 pony and after swapping the Carburetor from stock to a performance Carburetor with 19mm jet it went from 27mph to 37mph, waiting on my performance CDI in the mail hoping that makes a big difference in acceleration.
NO no no no Do not put a performance CDI on your bike or a performance spark plug coil Please heed my warning from years of experience. Those things will make your bike run much worse. It is all a scam. It throws off the timing of your motor not in a good way. Your bike will stall out on its own. Sometimes it won’t start you will lose speed. I appreciate your tenacity, but always avoid that talk to others about this as well. They will tell you the same thing.
I'm starting out with a 2018 tao tao. Really trying to clean up the appearance for sure. Get rid of some hoses and just little things like you did. Looks really clean. And of course I'm trying to get the big bore and an upgraded carburetor. Any tips would be very helpful and maybe a place to order them from that send you the correct parts would be good too
th-cam.com/video/Tu9AC3tVXGcb/w-d-xo.htmlcheck out this video I made it’ll guide you in the right direction for performance stuff 👌 more recent videos I’ve Made in the past few weeks help with painting and little upgrades after the big ones as well
Nice video love what you've done. I just received a yamati which is a version of your scooter for free motor seems ok but all electronics and carb are pretty much toast so I'm going through it all. It's been sitting for several years in storage only 1200 miles on it. Do you feel it's necessary to keep the shroud that surrounds the head in place ? I live in the Pacific NW it rarely gets hot here. I was thinking of building an air diverter under the bike. I might do the big bore 100cc on it but wasn't sure how good it is or if it will still be reliable any advice would be great thanks
Change the oil every 2000 miles, Fresh spark plugs every 500, Tighten up your nuts and bolts every two weeks, clean out your air filter, Lash your valves every 500 miles, give it fresh gear oil once a year, change the belt every 2000 miles, grease up your clutch bearings, keep good tire pressure in your tires, check up on your brake pads every 6 months, give it 93 octane gas, top of the line oils and grease Maintenance maintenance maintenance brother and she’ll last You can learn how to do these things from my Channel through the videos I’ve made to do it yourself and your bike will thank you
Performance CDI’s & coil packs make your bike run WORSE. From personal and close friend and professional experience I’ve never seen one actual work. It’s all a marketing gimmick and all they do is retard and advance your timing to make it run worse. I always tell people to NOT buy those two things. This bike here is now fully built (besides the stock crank) But it’s a getting an even bigger 52mm Domed piston & a 44mm stroker crank this season to absolutely Max it out to the furthest point possible. It hits a GOS verified 50mph even now with a 47mm piston/stock crank So I’m expecting 55-60 with my weight. Stay tuned for that
Thanks brother, she’s running better and much faster still to this day Rn since this video was made, you can watch more recent videos from this last season with this bike for updates on it 👌
This bike now goes a GPS verified 50mph ALOT brother. The top ends completely built 80cc cylinder, 69mm big valves, A9 camshaft, EGR delete, sealed valve cover. Intakes built, 20mm carburetor, 96 main fuel jet, straight air intake filter. Open aftermarket exhaust CVT Polini variator, 4.5g rollers, Gates powerlink belt, built clutch, 1500lb contra spring, 1500lb clutch springs, NCY clutch bell. Gears, 49/17 tall racing gears. NGK spark plug, valves lashed to .4 on intake/exhaust, stock CDI, stock spark plug cap, always 93 octane gas, Michelin S1 tires, RFY adjustable air shock, other aesthetic goodies. It’s basically fully built. That’s how lol A lot of modifications
I have done everything you did with mine and I'm still just a hair over stock speed. 100cc big bore, 20mm carb, stock coil and cdi, ngk plug, performance variator with stock rollers, 1500 rpm springs and a 17/49 final drive. What am I doing wrong herr?
@@danhunt4537 idek Definitely should be going much faster if you did all that Sounds like you need a straight air intake/performance exhaust for sure though If you have a stock exhaust & stock intake filter and fuel jets That’d be your problem right there You gotta give that BBK more fuel/air and the ability to push out that extra fuel/air for sure
Good stuff bro. Are you going to install anymore performance parts for the CVT? Ie Sliders, variator, ect? I installed the Glixal performance variator and I got some good amount of top end.

Hey just got a Tao evo 50cc huragan the big full size do you think a bore kit carb and cid box would get it faster I’m 160 lb. And can only get up to 28 mph maybe 18 up hill or would a 150 cc fit it
My Ruckus runs a Taotao quantum 150cc now block only with 11pole stator with a Roketa head we fully Ported out with an A9 cam 30mm oko carburetor with ncy big intake with a big gun exhaust and a polini 3g maxispeed clutch with upgraded secondary clutch but running a stock cdi if you check out our channel M.R.OriginalConceptGarage You'll see me hit 65mph on first attempt and I'm 245LBs
If you’re talking about changing the oil changing the spark plugs, lashing the valves Giving it fresh head gaskets, every season, putting premium gas only inside of the motor, letting it warm up every single time you write it all of the good stuff you can keep a motor going until the block gives out itself. Don’t personally have a direct answer because I am giving my bike the maintenance that it needs to last I don’t know exactly how long a bone stock motor would be with maintenance because you can always fix a piston. You can always fix valves as long as the block is intact, you’re good, but before any failure, I have no idea brother. It’ll be way longer if you maintain it if you don’t maintain it, it will not have a good life for very long at all
I like your scooter video I have a scooter 50cc but I have a 100cc big boy kid but it's not on yet right now is still a 50cc the 80cc big kit is better or a 100cc pick kit
Stock CDI, that’s what your referring too Nope, derestricted purple wire in the bottom left yanked out This bike is now fully built. This was pretty early on in this build you should watch the rest of the videos I have. I have also bought another 2 stroke bike that is 80% fully built and now a 3rd for more activities lol
@@davidhofinger4927 We just gone one of these cheap Tao Pony's and are looking to get more power and more speed out of it on the stock 50 cc jug. We upgraded the carb to allow rejetting. Is the CDI thing still required to help OR is that not required on these newer ones?
@@stephenlnoe blue CDI box is a scam It makes your bike run WORSE. I’ve seen it first hand and thousands of others agree. The running joke in the Scooter community is that new people, and usually put a blue CDI box on with an intake and expect power I have another video titled “ Guide to modifying a moped” You should check that out and I will tell you everything you need to do regarding what you’re asking
Damn bro, with no rear mudguard at all, you need to be careful if you go through a huge puddle or drive in a massive rainstorm. I know a little bit of water + pod filter only slightly reduces performance, but I'd be worried about driving through a large puddle and your rear wheel splashing up enough water directly into the pod filter to hydro lock the engine! Or at least cause it to sputter off and die. For comparison I have a stock 49cc with mudguard and pod filter and my bike's performance does suffer a little bit in the rain compared to when dry
Yeah it definitely does I’ve been in a heavy rainstorm before and it’s butter down and died exactly like that so I just avoid rain completely Least heavy rain
You were right, I ended up swapping back to the stock air box and found out that performance was not negatively impacted at all, I had more "consistent" acceleration, I had much better peace of mind about contaminants not getting into the bore, and I didn't even have to downjet! The biggest boon I got was getting a HUGE increase in MPG after the stock air box went back on. Apparently those crappy paper filter pod filters don't let a lot of air through but they also allow so much nasty junk into the engine. I'm an air box guy for life now
Would you be able to modify a 150cc for me the same way? If so, how much would you charge and where are you located? I’d love to do this to my bike! This is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!
Definitely wouldn’t take that advice or recommend that to anyone. Any experienced Gy6 builders will contest to those things, not trying to tear you down but take it from me and the thousands of others who have been bit. Performance CDI’s are trash
Hey bro I have a quick question when you put on the new airfilter what did you do with the tube that was connected with the original air filter? Mine is just hanging loose. Pushing air out. This is all new to me what can I do. Is there a video?
@@generalpaciani12 If you’re talking about the big black rubber hose that runs from your carburetor to the stock airbox that one right? If you’re talking about that one that connects from your airbox to your carburetor you take that off with the old stock airbox and directly connect your intake filter straight to the carburetor
Watch my video that I made not too long after this one titled “Guide to modify a moped” It will explain everything you are asking in descriptive detail that is easy to understand
Has it blown up yet? Or you still got the scoot?? Love the Chanel bro, I just got done building a 2013 taotao stunt scoot lol it’s rad as hell, pretty much fully done up with Glixal parts
@@davidhofinger4927 oh I know trust me I was just wanting to get some true opinions so far everyone has told me my 139qmb will blow up because I’ve done a bbk and upgrades to the motor, everyone says “they’re not meant to handle that” I was just wanting to get some true reviews on some of the parts I got on my scoot and honestly your channel done just that , keep the killer videos coming bro
To add some context: a 47mm BBK on a 139QMB is OK, because apparently the QMB was originally designed to work with a 47mm top end but the top end was cut down to 39mm to comply with many local moped CC regulations. Putting a 52mm top end kit and revving the bike at 9k RPMs for long periods of time in my opinion is recipe for the bottom-end bearings failing. From the OP's video it certainly sounds like he's keeping the cruising revs down to a reasonable level so I don't think there'd be an issue
Yes I did and results we’re definitely good, As of right now my top speed is 50 even 49.6 technically but close I enough lol it Consistently pulls 47 to 49 mph
This was A year and a half ago almost 2 years now, With a lot more things done to this bike after this video I now have hit 51 MPH GPS verified not according to the analog speedometer like this video which was off by at least 7 mph Don’t rely on the analog speedometer they are way off
Gunna get an engine temp gauge next just to be safe and some nos for hills 😜 and an exhaust just cuz have it run a little lean to make sure it don’t blow up
I have a 2017 Zummer 🛵 the right side handle grip broke off, I remove the left handle grip to put on the right side, how do I replace it's, It want grip it.....
I don’t have a video about that myself or I would share the link with you but you could follow this video this thoroughly explains how to do so it’s really easy th-cam.com/video/aY0TyrB5_6k/w-d-xo.html
Painters tape, Clean careful lines with the tape and black spray paint. I laid the tape down kept it on as I spray painted it and removed the tape when it was dry to create a turn signals & tail light to look like that
Hey buddy I had a question if you get a chance I bought two of them scooters recently same thing you have pony 50 something about California emissions too from superior Power Sports? I think they scammed me but I’m not sure. Yet ?Would you know why one of them runs regular and the other one is a Real piece of crap, it’s terrible maybe 20 miles an hour and the steering is crooked what’s up with all that bro.thank you sincerely Paul
These Chinese scooters are built how they please from factory all the time even though there are two identical bikes internally they might be different you could never rely on consistency with these Chinese scooters to be quite honest it’s not superior power sports because they come mostly assembled it’s China themselves. About the crooked steering that sounds like an assembly fault though
I understand that and I appreciate it the assembly you can only put the Bolt in one-proper way I did it I’ve been doing it right i’ve looked at several bikes the boat is in perfect it came crooked like the bars are bent or something I don’t know thank you for your response though I have a good day buddy
WE ZE 12v 6amp battery really any 12v 6am bigger battery will do doesn’t have to be specific but definitely keeps up with the higher demand and doesn’t hurt nothing 👍
That’s what this whole video about brother lol Yes most definitely. Aftermarket parts are a dime a dozen you can build an entire Taotao, to get it quick for about $600 all brand new parts. You should watch my channel. I have a video right after this where I explain a general guide on what you need to do to make them fast.
Those cromed out exhaust pipes are very weak, i drive deliveries daily about 50 to 150km and a have ripped those mount weldings off several times allready becouse of the forces that come from that bulky muffler bending the structure on every bump.
I’m already a step ahead of you brother not only did I reinforced two brackets But I also cut out the back of the muffler that attaches to the header and welded a thick steel plate, where the bolts bolt into, and there will never be any issues with this muffler, still going strong 💪 Check out my most recent short this bike is going to be much much much faster way bigger plans for this summer. I’m going to have to make it another. Fast Taotao Pony50 video title Once it is done, this is not going to do justice.
Those are not covers I simply painted them myself just like I did my tail light. All I did is I took one line of masking tape ran it down the center and spray painted it black to match the paint as well 👌
so you removed the back fender to "clean" it up a little .. and not care about all the shit and grime that will be flung up on your filter .. posible sucked into your engine .. well thats smart :D
$20 now 😂 There Half-price at Harbor freight now and it is a fantastic headlight. Absolutely lights up at night so much so that it’s illegal I can guarantee it but oh well lol
Doing that, I already painted a ton of it black since this video I only have to paint the right side of the engine black now you should watch the video I just uploaded for an up to date build
I put 100cc big bore in my 49 cc but it start up then i took up road then it turn off and it will not start up again i put lots of cash in it and it not running i put 150cc carb on it also
It’s very difficult to pinpoint what is wrong mechanically without seeing it in person there’s a step-by-step process to deduct what is wrong typically. Air, fuel and spark, Those three things make an engine run so those are the first three things you need to check and cover. If they all check out that’s what he started digging into deeper more difficult things I wish I could be of help but I can’t help you but I can help you by saying a 150cc carburetor is WAY to big for a BBK’d 50cc bike, I run a 20mm Glixal carb and that’s plenty enough, anything more and I’d be experiencing a lot better of bogging, carb down to a 20mm and swap out the main jet for more fuel past that point, I run a 20mm car with a 96 main jet and it runs great
@@davidhofinger4927 I put a 100cc big bore kit on my 49cc moped I put a pipe on it a filter upgrade at 1st I could start it up and drive it when cold start after i go down road it warms up then start driving fast slow fast slow it will not idle at all and after turns off will nit start back

You’ll learn to work on scooter if you buy a china 50. All they do is break. Spend more time wrenching then riding.
You could also put an upgraded coil pack & performance cdi on it & make it even faster.

Hey bro I have a quick question when you put on the new airfilter what did you do with the tube that was connected with the original air filter? Mine is just hanging loose. Pushing air out. This is all new to me what can I do. Is there a video?
Take that thing off
Just connect to your air filter the new one directly to the carburetor
@@davidhofinger4927 so I can leave the other hose free?
@@generalpaciani12 If you’re talking about the big black rubber hose that runs from your carburetor to the stock airbox that one right?
If you’re talking about that one that connects from your airbox to your carburetor you take that off with the old stock airbox and directly connect your intake filter straight to the carburetor
@@davidhofinger4927 yes sir that's the one thank you
4:18 where did you get the big bore kit? Or can you drop the link?
I bought it from my local shop but I know for sure it’s just a cheap $50 Chinese brand BBK, it’s still going strong to this day 💪
I have a 50 cc it does 30 but I need that 10 plus at least to stay at 40 what can I do ?
Watch my video that I made not too long after this one titled
“Guide to modify a moped”
It will explain everything you are asking in descriptive detail that is easy to understand
Has it blown up yet? Or you still got the scoot?? Love the Chanel bro, I just got done building a 2013 taotao stunt scoot lol it’s rad as hell, pretty much fully done up with Glixal parts
No it’s still running strong not close to blowing up I just took it on 120 mile road trip if you maintain your bike it will remain in one piece lol
@@davidhofinger4927 oh I know trust me I was just wanting to get some true opinions so far everyone has told me my 139qmb will blow up because I’ve done a bbk and upgrades to the motor, everyone says “they’re not meant to handle that” I was just wanting to get some true reviews on some of the parts I got on my scoot and honestly your channel done just that , keep the killer videos coming bro
To add some context: a 47mm BBK on a 139QMB is OK, because apparently the QMB was originally designed to work with a 47mm top end but the top end was cut down to 39mm to comply with many local moped CC regulations. Putting a 52mm top end kit and revving the bike at 9k RPMs for long periods of time in my opinion is recipe for the bottom-end bearings failing. From the OP's video it certainly sounds like he's keeping the cruising revs down to a reasonable level so I don't think there'd be an issue
You ever put gears in?? Did you make a video on it?? Also what’s your top speed to date??
Yes I did and results we’re definitely good, As of right now my top speed is 50 even 49.6 technically but close I enough lol it Consistently pulls 47 to 49 mph
What type of oil does this bike take?
I always use Valvoline Full Synthetic 4 stroke motorcycle oil at 10W-40
Works great and have used it for years along with buddies of mine
I crashed my scooter the other day. What type of paint do I need to paint my scooter?
Simple paint+primer rustoleum paint is what I always use on any re-paint and it comes out beautifully
Where are you from New Jersey
Nope, reside in Michigan man
What’s the top speed on her now I have basically all that done to mine other then the exhaust
This was A year and a half ago almost 2 years now, With a lot more things done to this bike after this video I now have hit 51 MPH
GPS verified not according to the analog speedometer like this video which was off by at least 7 mph
Don’t rely on the analog speedometer they are way off
Oh yeah for sure I’ve got mine to 45
Gunna get an engine temp gauge next just to be safe and some nos for hills 😜 and an exhaust just cuz have it run a little lean to make sure it don’t blow up
Links to the parts plz
I have a 2017 Zummer 🛵 the right side handle grip broke off, I remove the left handle grip to put on the right side, how do I replace it's, It want grip it.....
I don’t have a video about that myself or I would share the link with you but you could follow this video this thoroughly explains how to do so it’s really easy th-cam.com/video/aY0TyrB5_6k/w-d-xo.html
What type of battery did you get to replace stock battery?
I use the 12 V 6 AMP battery, It’s twice the size as the stock one is you can see it in my LED headlight video previously if you want photo context
@@davidhofinger4927 thank you for the info man
You got a link to the gates belt
How did you make the body look like that??
Painters tape, Clean careful lines with the tape and black spray paint.
I laid the tape down kept it on as I spray painted it and removed the tape when it was dry to create a turn signals & tail light to look like that
Hey buddy I had a question if you get a chance I bought two of them scooters recently same thing you have pony 50 something about California emissions too from superior Power Sports? I think they scammed me but I’m not sure. Yet ?Would you know why one of them runs regular and the other one is a Real piece of crap, it’s terrible maybe 20 miles an hour and the steering is crooked what’s up with all that bro.thank you sincerely Paul
These Chinese scooters are built how they please from factory all the time even though there are two identical bikes internally they might be different you could never rely on consistency with these Chinese scooters to be quite honest it’s not superior power sports because they come mostly assembled it’s China themselves. About the crooked steering that sounds like an assembly fault though
I understand that and I appreciate it the assembly you can only put the Bolt in one-proper way I did it I’ve been doing it right i’ve looked at several bikes the boat is in perfect it came crooked like the bars are bent or something I don’t know thank you for your response though I have a good day buddy
U got a link for belt
Hey David what is the name of the Battey you use
WE ZE 12v 6amp battery really any 12v 6am bigger battery will do doesn’t have to be specific but definitely keeps up with the higher demand and doesn’t hurt nothing 👍
@@davidhofinger4927 thanks man my taotao pony build just started. thanks for all of your help
could two people ride on this
Two people can and have, many times
Just tell her to hold on tight 👌
I have a Question is it possible to modify the speed of the TaoTao moped ?
That’s what this whole video about brother lol
Yes most definitely.
Aftermarket parts are a dime a dozen you can build an entire Taotao, to get it quick for about $600 all brand new parts.
You should watch my channel. I have a video right after this where I explain a general guide on what you need to do to make them fast.
@@davidhofinger4927 Thank you Sir
What is your man jet I can’t get mine right
96 main jet
Those cromed out exhaust pipes are very weak, i drive deliveries daily about 50 to 150km and a have ripped those mount weldings off several times allready becouse of the forces that come from that bulky muffler bending the structure on every bump.
Solution has been custom bracket mounted on muffler to back fender screw hole on the engine block
I’m already a step ahead of you brother not only did I reinforced two brackets But I also cut out the back of the muffler that attaches to the header and welded a thick steel plate, where the bolts bolt into, and there will never be any issues with this muffler, still going strong 💪
Check out my most recent short this bike is going to be much much much faster way bigger plans for this summer. I’m going to have to make it another. Fast Taotao Pony50 video title Once it is done, this is not going to do justice.
Do I order these parts on Amazon????? Someone please help
Can you link me those blinker covers, the front knes
Those are not covers I simply painted them myself just like I did my tail light. All I did is I took one line of masking tape ran it down the center and spray painted it black to match the paint as well 👌
How could I get mine to go that fast
I made a video on exactly how to do that step-by-step th-cam.com/video/Tu9AC3tVXGc/w-d-xo.html
When it rains I cannot ride cause water go right in pod
Yup. Me too bud lol I will tape a piece of cardboard in between the wheel and the filter if it’s raining if I need to get somewhere
Wait sooo you can't ride this in the rain???? I just bought one
Howd u do those headlights

Will Ruckus engine parts work on a QMB139
Just the transmission things like the variator the clutch,a clutch is a clutch a variator is a variator but engine parts will not work on that no
I need a good aftermarket carb for my tao what you got
Responded to your other comment, 20mm Glixal CVK carb works beautifully for these 80cc BBK’d tao’s
I need lil help
With all the mods did you have to register it?
Why pay extra money when it’s still a “50”cc bike 🤷♂️ nope lol
@@davidhofinger4927 you the real MVP!
so you removed the back fender to "clean" it up a little .. and not care about all the shit and grime that will be flung up on your filter .. posible sucked into your engine .. well thats smart :D
40$ for some LEDs😬
$20 now 😂
There Half-price at Harbor freight now and it is a fantastic headlight. Absolutely lights up at night so much so that it’s illegal I can guarantee it but oh well lol
The plastics painted?
Yessir, springs, block, plastics almost everything
You paint it black everything then
Doing that, I already painted a ton of it black since this video I only have to paint the right side of the engine black now you should watch the video I just uploaded for an up to date build
How much can you sell it for
With everything done to it now, it’s my much more built than this videos time, 14-1,500 but have no interest in ever doing so it’ll always be my baby
@@davidhofinger4927 alr cool i have the same moped, where did you get your exhaust from and what’s it called
Your def going down hill
Definitely not but thanks for the lovely information 👌
Do you mean his mph? Or his general life ?
I put 100cc big bore in my 49 cc but it start up then i took up road then it turn off and it will not start up again i put lots of cash in it and it not running i put 150cc carb on it also
It’s very difficult to pinpoint what is wrong mechanically without seeing it in person there’s a step-by-step process to deduct what is wrong typically. Air, fuel and spark, Those three things make an engine run so those are the first three things you need to check and cover. If they all check out that’s what he started digging into deeper more difficult things I wish I could be of help but I can’t help you but I can help you by saying a 150cc carburetor is WAY to big for a BBK’d 50cc bike, I run a 20mm Glixal carb and that’s plenty enough, anything more and I’d be experiencing a lot better of bogging, carb down to a 20mm and swap out the main jet for more fuel past that point, I run a 20mm car with a 96 main jet and it runs great
@@davidhofinger4927 I put a 100cc big bore kit on my 49cc moped I put a pipe on it a filter upgrade at 1st I could start it up and drive it when cold start after i go down road it warms up then start driving fast slow fast slow it will not idle at all and after turns off will nit start back
@@davidhofinger4927 I put stator on it but still no fire
@@davidhofinger4927 I could up load a video my my youtube then maybe could you watch it just to see maybe whats wrong with it
@@davidhofinger4927 I posted a video
pssshhhhh weak
Good. Job
