making a super pocket rocket bike faster

#1 Unread post by whitelines2 »

Hey everyone, i'm new here.

I might buy a super pocket rocket. If i get one i'd like to do some mods to it to make it faster. I'm just looking for some info about what kind of upgrades can be done to a pocket rocket. It'd be a 49cc 2 stroke. Any ideas? Also any suggestion about a decent cheap model to start with? Thanks.

Short of taking the engine out and putting in a new one I don't think you're going to get any super substantial gains.

I've seen a pocketbike with a gsx-r600 motor in it though.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I know some 50's can be converted to 80's with a new piston, cylinder and head. But not sure about yours.
