used gas scooters for 100 dollars
This is my Taotao ATM 150 a Evo scooter made in China it now has two thousand eight hundred and eight kilometers on it that's about seventeen hundred and forty miles and I want to be giving you a walk around my thoughts and opinions pros and cons specs the upgrades I've put into it and the financials and whether it's economical as I said the bike now has about 2,800 kilometers on
it and it's six months old I got it in January it's now June the scooter has a 150 cc gy6 engine 1 5 7 q MJ it's about 9 horsepower the CVT drive belt is a the dimensions are 835 2030 battery compartment is on the floorboard stock battery is a dong gene ytx 7a vs 12 volt with 85 cold cranking amps and this is 6 ain't battery the stock tires are Chinese
made by hung Dao and the dimensions are 136 TR 13 both front and back 13 inch tires I track my fuel really closely and I'm getting about 70 miles per gallon and I'm a 250-pound rider that's riding in the city and also in the foothills in the mountains 70 miles per gallon max speed on a flat surface is 53 miles per hour if you're going downhill you'll probably hit around 60 if you're
going uphill you can expect about 34 miles per hour out of it 250 pound rider so here's the ignition that's the on position the on position your your instrument cluster lights will light up and your running lights will light up I'll fire it up so you can hear the engine as you can see it's pretty quiet it's got a glove box and there's enough room to keep some papers like your insurance registration some change
for a parking meter if you need it I've got a tire pressure gauge in there too but there's not much room for anything else really it's not very deep it's it's maybe two-three inches deep picking up four papers it's got two rear shocks one on each side they're pretty comfy tailpipe stator the orange is the ignition coil that's an upgrade actually the orange mirrors the handlebar brake handle dim bright switch turn signal horn it's
got a hazard light button here's the instrument cluster the speedometer odometer fuel gauge and it's got a tachometer I'll show you that in a second here's the tachometer I've got my Garmin GPS unit mounted on there with a ram mount suction cup that's an upgrade and it's attached to an optic solar charger which keeps the GPS unit charged over here we've got the starter button and the kill switch down here we've got a clip
that you can use to hold a grocery bag or something you're toting around that won't fit under your seat or in your top box in your trunk front brake is a disc brake it's got twin headlights the thermometer is an add-on it's getting hot today now I'll show you what it looks like under the seat in the bucket and I'll show you what I can fit in here I have my toolkit that takes
up the bulk of the space I've got a lot of tools and I've got my first aid kit rain pants rain jacket rain pants pair of work gloves rag and Ziploc and I've got my trusty rhodegear digital air pressure gauge all that fits under the seat also under the seat you've got the fuel tank in the gas cap you have your air box so here's what the inside of this thing looks like you've
got the gas tank back here filler neck here's the the float top of the float over here you have the air box in the air filter here's the fuel petcock fuel lines vacuum lines get the CVT down here transmission this is the air intake to the carburetor and to the exhaust manifold over on the side starter motor it's a little bit tricky to get out but here's the idle speed adjustment screw under
the airbox below the airbox you've got the ignition coil that goes to the spark plug right there the orange over on this side this is the CDI box that's upgraded to a naraku non-restricted okay so I showed this to paraglider MX and he had some recommendations we consulted and he suggested to move the fuel filter to higher ground so basically I'm going to follow his suggestion and route it under this part of
the frame here back around and then tie it off to this bar right here in the back you have a rack and the trunk does not come with a bike this is a best empty box that I bought separately for 90 bucks here's what it looks like from the back a word of caution if you choose to use this setup for the GPS with a ram mount and suction cup you got
to have a tether on it it will pop off if you hit a bump or a manhole and it will fall in your lap or off the bike if you don't have a tether another word of caution and this took me four hours and a lot of questions on the forum to figure this out but if you if your bike won't start try the kill switch first this happened to me and it was really embarrassing after I found out what...
