Very nice video. I really like how you showed everything...the compartments and little changes you made, for example removing the covers and such. Thanks for sharing your cool ride. I'm thinking about getting something like this, too.
The GY6 is a fan-forced air cool design. The engine will get plenty of cooling air without removing that front cover. They aren't at all like finned air cooled engines that depend on the vehicle moving to keep air flowing over them. You could leave a properly running GY6 idle for hours and it wouldn't overheat.
he has cut the shroud around the spark plug to make it easy access and "better cooling" the forced air cooling has been compromised on his. I would not suggest cutting or removing any of the cooling shroud. getting the plug in and out is easy as it is. I think and may be wrong but, the hole in the side of the plastic that has been cut is cancelling the forced air that would have been blown thru the fins of the cylinder and head at a stand still. Nice looking bike, I like it! If you do start to find you have overheating issues, I would get a new top piece for the one you cut to start the troubleshooting.
Now that it's been a bit over three years how is your scooter doing now? I always hear people knocking scooters from China so I'm interested in it's longevity. Have you done any adjustments like on the valve clearance etc? Would love to hear how it is going in the long run. Best regards and here's to safe and fun riding!
Hey buddy. I sold it after this video. I've heard of people's Chinese scooters going past 50,000 miles. You need to change the oil a little more frequent than what honda recommends for 150cc. The engine metal quality is not as well thus frequent changes prevent engine wear. I have done valve adjustments on a 50cc before and it was flippin easy, there are youtube videos for that too. Have no fear! I'm currently doing a tune up on a Aprillia Scarabeo 150cc watercooled that I picked up for a few hundred bucks!.. hopefully were both on the road soon! See ya
Actually, two strokes are twice as powerful as for strokes. And assuming that you keep them oiled they are quite durable because there are less parts that a four stroke motor. The problem with two-stroke motors is that they pollute too much so the USA
I just meant nit efficient for gas. I'd ride 2 stroke over a 4 stroke any day though.. next is another 2 stroke. I had a big bore 2 stroke vento, carb exhaust, hit freeways in Hawaii lol
+stealhty1 In California I pay $120 a year for insurance. It was originally $80 when I lived in a smaller city, but went up because I live in San Diego. The company I purchased it from online handled all of the registration information.
hypothetically, if you were going to drive one of these across the country, what would you do to it before you went? ive been riding chinese mopeds for years but when something breaks i usually have a shop replace it with shitty oem parts
Bring an extra cylinder head lol. I'd trust a watercooled engine over an air cooled engine. Look for a used honda watercooled. If your having a shop do it, that's money out the window. Honda 150 to 250 watercooled. You dont wanna break down in the middle of bumfuck Utah or something

Couldn't tell by the shaky camera work - what are your RPM's at 50mph? Do you have stock rollers or did you change them out for different weight rollers/sliders? Thanks!
Yeah I know :( well I'm not sure to what the rpms say, but I know the speedometer isn't accurate so I wouldn't trust the rpm gauge. Nonetheless I can't recall what they were at that speed.
Thanks for the video. This is technically a tao tao Lancer right? Could you buy any chance let us know how tall you are? I'm 6'5" and on the verge of ordering one of these but i can't find much info on it for people my height. Thanks!
Yep. That's the Lancer. I have its brother, the Evo ATM-150... identical in size. I'd think you'd fit but would be tight at 6'5". I'm 5'10" and have plenty of room.
@@KILLCOMBO I have fake plates on mine (novelty plates that look like the real thing). I guess I will get a license endorsement and whatever other BS the state requires when the pull me over (if ever) but since I ride mine like a 50cc on the back roads only, I didn't see the need to jump through their ridiculous hoops. I would've just gotten a 50cc but the body styles are too small and "kiddy" looking.
I believe they will let you use this during your motorcycle safety course. If so, you would have a huge advantage over the provided motorcycles, however its always a good idea to pass the course on a full size motorcycle if you plan on buying one in the future.
First, I realize this video is a few years old. I assume the reason you would want a 125cc or 150cc scooter over a 50cc is better acceleration and higher speed, correct?....yet nobody seems to mention what to expect as far as performance: best cruising RPM and how fast will they go. Also, it’s seems many people buy these less expensive, Chinese scooters then put upgraded transmissions or larger bore kits, to get better performance/more speed, yet nobody seems to discuss those either: which upgrades give you the best bang for the buck, which are recommended to do first, and how do they effect performance. Not trying to be a dick, I’m just disappointed to not find those answers, and I can’t be the only one interested in those things, as I feel performance is the most important consideration after all. Otherwise, everyone would just buy 50cc scooters.
You're best bang for the buck would be variator weights and springs which could allow rocket takeoff but may effect top end, theres info out there for gy6. 150cc stock does about 55mph, comfortable about 45. You could do a open air cone and upgrade your main jet for maybe 60mph, im sure theres info out there. or to go 70mph there is info on the net about bore kits for the 150cc gy6, install info and reliability. th-cam.com/video/4KRkrcS5twA/w-d-xo.html
I love this scooter, one thing u should do is go to home depot and get a $5 hack saw, cut off the middle kick stand rest, then the kickstand will tuck up under higher so that u can turn corners without grinding on the ground. GL
Im not trying to be rude but TaoTao scooters are horrible in terms of quality control, the issue with these is that one might be great and run forever and another one will have a severe defect that kills the engine forever within the first 500 miles. Thast why you see so many horror stories with people who had TaoTao scooters, I had 2 TaoTao scooters and both never lasted more than 800 miles before the motors blew up on both of them.
What do you keep your RPM idle at? When I start mine up it has a real hard idle then it gradually goes down eventually going dead. It only does this if its not warmed up. If I hop on and get going it no longer does it at any sittings for the day.
www.chinesescooterreference.com/pdf/dawgscootermanual.pdf I set my rpm when its warmed up, put it on the stand so the rear tire is off the ground. adjust the idle till the tire starts turning on its own...then dial it back till it stops find the sweet spot, ride it then check again make sure the wheel isnt spinninng under its own idle.. here is your manual, sounds like you need to adjust your valves startup problems usually indicate that. .004 intake .005 exhaust best idea to get this out of the way regardless
"2 stroke is half as efficient as 4 stroke"....... you kidding me right, buddy? 2 stroke is TWICE as efficient producing, in theory, twice the power of a 4 stroke. And as far as reliability goes, it's a myth that 2 strokes are not reliable.
not fuel efficient at all. 4 stroke gets almost twice the mileage. 2 strokes are not as reliable that is not a myth. I used to live in Hawaii and we built scooters my boy managed a scooter shop.
Do you really think the folks who engineered that scooter left the engine short of cooling air flow? It has a duct system with a spinning fan pushing air all over the hottest parts of the engine from the side. All around the cooling fins. Open that door under the seat as you suggest could interrupt the air to the engine cooling fan inlet on the side. Are you an aerodynamics engineer by trade? Seems like YOU found a big mistake on the building of this scooter to not even put vents on that plastic door if it need them? You should contact all the scooter manufactures with your scientific findings as most scooters are made that way. Ever engineer anything yourself? Or you just make video's? Did you even test this idea?? Be nice to share the before and after temperature readings you got, of say the engine oil with the door on and off see if it helps cool anything or makes no difference at all. oh right it just makes common sense, yeah engineer's spent years in college and just forgot to leave air vents in that door..... face palm.
Idk about the first 40 seconds in the video I’m calling bs I have the same moped 2013 lancer 150 my uncle has 2005-2006 Zuma 2 stroke and I work on my 3 times more then he does his 2 strokes are def reliable
locate the airbox as shown in the video, there is a hole you can spray starting fluid in the hole which should create the vacuum needed the get the fuel through the system to the carburator. you can get starting fluid at the auto parts store. spray it in or around the air box intake, it evaporates quickly so spray for about 5 seconds so ensure the scooter can breathe it in while you attemp to start it.
Nope that's by far the worst Chinese scooter yet the 2 best is the powermax 150cc and the Challenger 150cc they will blow that thing away in every way possible hands down.
True. They come with like 10 horsepower. The one in the video is like 7. Lancer is trash and heavier. Ive owned all 3 brand new. Challenger and Powermax will blow all stock 150cc away!!!
@@trapp7763 My 2019 Lancer is 10 horsepower and it's gorgeous. Nothing online does these scooters justice when seen in person. Big, plush and so comfy. These are the scooter version of a "cruiser bike." I absolutely LOVE mine.
you could put any sticker over the 150cc and they can't legally make you rip it off. They have to measure engine capacity or maybe find the 150cc stamp on the engine to give you a ticket but they can't disassemble your bike to find it. They need to prove it and that likely wont happen. Just say its a modified 50cc if you're pulled over for speeding above the 30mph limit for 50cc scooters. He will maybe tell you to register it since it exceeds limits or to take the modifications off and give you a warning.
LOL it showed on their it showed that it can reach up to 90 mph but I'm pretty sure he could only reach it up to 60 or 70 you have to do a lot of tuning I'm really going to try to put a turbo on my scooter so I can reach up to my potential much more quicker I have a TaoTao to but unlike him I have a TaoTao 50cc putting 100 cc bore kit on you then after a turbo but I'm doing other modifications as well too make it more like a car. Putting I'm putting hazard lights on it fog lights already put alarm system on there I have a shield on there a little racing tail LOL putting a lot of Neil like under it changing the cluster so I can reach up to 80 mph cuz you're only reach up to 5o this a 50cc buying a cruiser control for my bike does and buying a seat warmer for it's like a car has and find a compass stuff for it

Im not trying to be rude but TaoTao scooters are horrible in terms of quality control, the issue with these is that one might be great and run forever and another one will have a severe defect that kills the engine forever within the first 500 miles. Thast why you see so many horror stories with people who had TaoTao scooters, I had 2 TaoTao scooters and both never lasted more than 800 miles before the motors blew up on both of them.
Did u need motorcycle license to drive those on street
+Alejandro Murillo depends on the state's laws where you live. In California, you do need a license.
+Alejandro Murillo You can look at your state's laws by going to the DMV website and searching there for scooter/motorcycle license.
yeah if over 50cc most states you do. I never got plates though hehe

You're probably be fine until you get pulled over..
What would you say the weight limit is?
maybe 280
Esme L It states that the weight limit is 350
it's a great scooter, but the front panel will be shaky
What do you keep your RPM idle at? When I start mine up it has a real hard idle then it gradually goes down eventually going dead. It only does this if its not warmed up. If I hop on and get going it no longer does it at any sittings for the day.
www.chinesescooterreference.com/pdf/dawgscootermanual.pdf
I set my rpm when its warmed up, put it on the stand so the rear tire is off the ground. adjust the idle till the tire starts turning on its own...then dial it back till it stops find the sweet spot, ride it then check again make sure the wheel isnt spinninng under its own idle..
here is your manual, sounds like you need to adjust your valves startup problems usually indicate that. .004 intake .005 exhaust best idea to get this out of the way regardless
+KyleLikesThis Hmmmmm. That is the same settings for a Briggs & Stratton 16HP Vanguard V-Twin. lol
Can you register this as a 50cc people will get mess up on that ?
no cause the title says 150cc
where do you get a new belt
I dont think it will have a belt problem to be honest. I wouldn't worry about it. Probably a 150cc gy6 universal belt will work
You can get Gates drive belts for Gy6 scooter on Ebay for 14.95 each free shipping.
"2 stroke is half as efficient as 4 stroke"....... you kidding me right, buddy? 2 stroke is TWICE as efficient producing, in theory, twice the power of a 4 stroke. And as far as reliability goes, it's a myth that 2 strokes are not reliable.
not fuel efficient at all. 4 stroke gets almost twice the mileage. 2 strokes are not as reliable that is not a myth. I used to live in Hawaii and we built scooters my boy managed a scooter shop.
hi! I was wondering how much mpg this moped gets, if It can even fit a gallon haha
+Daniel F The fuel size is roughly 1.4 gallons. It gets roughly 80-90mpg.
What.s this prise
gotta say I love my tao tao Quantum touring or as it is also referred to as the titan150 much cooler and nicer scooter
agreed, looks nice!
To each his own. I prefer the Lancer.
Do you really think the folks who engineered that scooter left the engine short of cooling air flow? It has a duct system with a spinning fan pushing air all over the hottest parts of the engine from the side. All around the cooling fins. Open that door under the seat as you suggest could interrupt the air to the engine cooling fan inlet on the side. Are you an aerodynamics engineer by trade? Seems like YOU found a big mistake on the building of this scooter to not even put vents on that plastic door if it need them? You should contact all the scooter manufactures with your scientific findings as most scooters are made that way. Ever engineer anything yourself? Or you just make video's? Did you even test this idea?? Be nice to share the before and after temperature readings you got, of say the engine oil with the door on and off see if it helps cool anything or makes no difference at all. oh right it just makes common sense, yeah engineer's spent years in college and just forgot to leave air vents in that door..... face palm.
674km = 418 miles.
David Kendall thanks! hehe
Idk about the first 40 seconds in the video I’m calling bs I have the same moped 2013 lancer 150 my uncle has 2005-2006 Zuma 2 stroke and I work on my 3 times more then he does his 2 strokes are def reliable
whats the top speed?
55 ish
KyleLikesThis faster if you modify the exhaust, intake, jet, and maybe weights and a name brand drive belt
+Thomas Bentley I've gone 65 mph on the freeway with this same model. Stock, no modifications.
I DONT KNOW how to star the scooter I PUT the gas in it but don't star
locate the airbox as shown in the video, there is a hole you can spray starting fluid in the hole which should create the vacuum needed the get the fuel through the system to the carburator. you can get starting fluid at the auto parts store. spray it in or around the air box intake, it evaporates quickly so spray for about 5 seconds so ensure the scooter can breathe it in while you attemp to start it.
excellent!
I am 6 foot tall, will this work okay? Will probably have my 7 year old with me most of the times.
mgcauctions07 yeah you just sit your butt further back and ride it more like a sportbike, it will be fine
Sitting back will my 7 year old have enough room
mgcauctions07 yes you will have plenty of room to fit her as well if you need to
Thanks, thinkin about buying my wife one while at it....She is 5 foot 4, will she still be able to hold it up at a stop.
can you ride with a friend?
he mentioned it somewhere in the video that it was a really nice ride for both driver and passenger
But ull need insurance for 150... duhh... the whole point of scooters is cheap..
If we're buying ins, ill get much better for not much more...
I wish I knew you I would pay you 50 to help me pick a new one out :(
LOL welp I could help you I have one too but I have a 50cc fully modding it out I'm Typ O
India made scooters are also as reliable as japanese scooters, see my video
No it didn't look clean , without the trunk the scooter didn't look good ! in my eyes !
I also much prefer them with the trunk and stock mirrors. I accessorised my blue Lancer with chrome foot rests. Looks awesome.
Nope that's by far the worst Chinese scooter yet the 2 best is the powermax 150cc and the Challenger 150cc they will blow that thing away in every way possible hands down.
Wrong. Those scooter mentioned both only have one shock, no projection head lighting, and less features with the same engine.
True. They come with like 10 horsepower. The one in the video is like 7. Lancer is trash and heavier. Ive owned all 3 brand new. Challenger and Powermax will blow all stock 150cc away!!!
@@trapp7763 My 2019 Lancer is 10 horsepower and it's gorgeous. Nothing online does these scooters justice when seen in person. Big, plush and so comfy. These are the scooter version of a "cruiser bike." I absolutely LOVE mine.
These are great but if anyone were to get a 150 id get a pcx 150
If you can afford one get a honda scooter. My next one will probably be 250cc honda scooter with a proper wind screen
lmao why would someone need a motocycle liscense they look just like a 49cc
you could put any sticker over the 150cc and they can't legally make you rip it off. They have to measure engine capacity or maybe find the 150cc stamp on the engine to give you a ticket but they can't disassemble your bike to find it. They need to prove it and that likely wont happen. Just say its a modified 50cc if you're pulled over for speeding above the 30mph limit for 50cc scooters. He will maybe tell you to register it since it exceeds limits or to take the modifications off and give you a warning.
One problem with that. Insurance cards indicate the CC amount.
La grange! ;p
If u know how to use u tube🤣😁
whats the top speed?
LOL it showed on their it showed that it can reach up to 90 mph but I'm pretty sure he could only reach it up to 60 or 70 you have to do a lot of tuning I'm really going to try to put a turbo on my scooter so I can reach up to my potential much more quicker I have a TaoTao to but unlike him I have a TaoTao 50cc putting 100 cc bore kit on you then after a turbo but I'm doing other modifications as well too make it more like a car. Putting I'm putting hazard lights on it fog lights already put alarm system on there I have a shield on there a little racing tail LOL putting a lot of Neil like under it changing the cluster so I can reach up to 80 mph cuz you're only reach up to 5o this a 50cc buying a cruiser control for my bike does and buying a seat warmer for it's like a car has and find a compass stuff for it
