Answer 1

Look up Martin Racing Products if anyone can help you they can.

Answer 2

Remove the engine, and insert an engine from a larger piaggio product, would be my guess.

The keys to getting more power out of an engine, are make it bigger, make it breathe better, make the exhaust flow better.

You may be able to find a big bore kit to take it up to 70cc or more, and this is the obvious idea.

But if you still have a restriction in your air intake it may not make a whole lot more power.  So if you do buy a kit, ask how it is with stock airbox or if there is a higher capacity air flow box out there.

And finally exhaust.  Most two strokes will respond well to a more free flowing exhaust.

Plan on replacing a lot of metal with these of course.

Now you wouldn't be riding a restricted piaggio zip 50, now would you?  It may be illegal for you to desrestrict it, in that case.  The following website reference is to be used for information purposes only, not to DErestrict your legally restricted scooter. (wink, wink, nudge nudge, say no more,eh?)

The other is a link to someone on ebay selling a kit to upgrade the cylinder.  Yes, it says zip fifty in the applications, but not how big it makes the engine, after.

Or you can put a mallossi carburetor on it.

Answer 3

You have two choices.

1.  Throw lots of money at it.  After you spend lots of money, you will end with being able to do 45 or 50 miles per hour instead of 30 miles per hour.  The drive line components of this bike were only designed for 30 miles per hour, so you will be forever breaking down and throwing more money at it.

2.  Sell it.  Put the money from the sale towards something with a big enough motor to get the speed you desire.  This will be the cheapest option in the long run.
