How do I make my moped faster?

Question

I have an Aprilia Mojito scooter. I already took the governor off, but it still only does about 40 mph. How can I make it go faster?

Answer 1

The cost of modifying these small engines aren't worth it.  Sell the bike, use the money from the sale towards something with a larger engine.

If you insist on throwing money at it.  Use your favorite Internet search site and search for Aprilia Mojito big bore kit.  This will increase your engine displacement from 50 CC to about 70 CC, depending on which kit you use.

This modification, along with other modifications will give the engine more power. Eventually, you will also need to change the final gear ratio to take advantage of the increased power.

Answer 2

the governor is on there for a reason, so you dont blow up your engine by keeping the rpm's down. you think your going slow now, keep rapping that little thing out and see how fast you'll be going with the rod hanging out the side of the block.

Answer 3

the easiest thing to do would be to regear the moped, because after you take the governor off, the engine will only withstand so many rpm's before something happens, probably a conecting rod.

personaly, i would but some performance parts that are designed for your engine, and use high-octane fuel and regear it so it has basicly same performance except the fact that you will have a higher top speed

Answer 4

Push it.

Answer 5

Sorry, but I don't think it's supposed to go any faster. Surely the parts are not prepared for higher speed. What if something happens?? Better safe than sorry.

Answer 6

bore and blue print the mill. start running a mix of aviation fuel. best suggestion is sell it to the neighbour hood bully, and use that money as a down payment on a real sled!! Harley Davidson.

Answer 7

You have a 3 cubic inch engine, what do youy expect? Model airplanes have bigger engines than this. Cut your losses, trade into a 250cc cycle.

Answer 8

look for a mechanic/machine shop who can re-bore your engine block to a larger piston. I did that my moped... my speed went from 50 to 65mph. But the engine can overheat.

Answer 9

put inside an airplane
