It depends. They run from about $650 for a stock 35cc model with no perks, to $1800+ for a fully modified(tuned exhaust pipe, high performance carb, velocity stack, air filter, etc) 55cc beast.

Mine is highly modified.. Can't buy it.. Am just talking about the model that she's riding.

PM me if you're interested.
 

55 CC ?

In Connecticut, any motor vehicle over 50 CC requires insurance and registration.
(Hence Mopeds are exempt from such requirements)

I assume you are from Oregon, are the Motor Vehicle laws different there ?

They're probably different, but not that much different...

They're only legal in a handful of states..

Here in Oregon, the legal limit is 35cc .. But the cops don't know anything.. :p They're pretty much classified as a bicycle. You have to follow the same rules as a bike, and stay in the bike lanes..

My scooter is uses a 50cc.. 4 stroke engine. ;) Honda, baby!:D Most "goped" type scooters use 2 stroke engines.

My girlfriends mom's boyfriend put a 135cc PowerBee engine on his scooter.. It's insane.. He can do over 80.

But like I said.. the cops are clueless... as long as you're wearing safety gear, and following the road rules.. they leave you alone. ;)

The 55cc is a kit for the 43cc Mitsubishi engine.. new cylinder, piston, rings..

And teh winna i5?
We weren't racing.. but I would win, my scooter has a much higher top speed than hers.. :p She'd win in a short dash tho, since the reason for the high top speed is the high gearing(or would it be low gearing? whatever..)

I hate those things. Like riced out cars and Harleys driving by window all day weren't annoying enough.

That's pretty fricken fast.

Unless you're doing 80+ down the freeway and passing everything on the road. :D
