Check out Planet Ruckus on YouTube/FB. Those are the dudes I ride with.
These stupid little scooters are fun as shit though (even though I have a clone lol), and they draw attention wherever you go. I literally can't go to the gas station that's two blocks away without being questioned by someone at a stop sign.
Other news, I just got done lowering my seat frame.
Borrowed angle grinder + $5 dremel (smooth out rough areas) > $85 aftermarket frame that won't fit.
I still have to put those two front legs in a vice to flatten them, drill holes for the bolts and I may even have to completely chop the rear mounts off since it doesn't look like it'll clear.
And I still haven't been able to put a single mile on since I threw in the BBK.... Two weeks ago. Hopefully my damn jets will be here today.

yes and the burnouts and donuts. Those things are awesome! I have a question tho and this may sound stupid but here goes:
I know those skoots dont have enough torque for you to do a burnout while the rider is sitting down, so are those guys that were doing burnouts that way modifying there skoots to give them the torque to do that or what? and same for the wheelie is he standing it up off of the throttle or is he pulling it up?

The stock 50s that come on Rucks (called a GET motor), are only good to about 65mph, and that's with an insane amount of modifications to them which just isn't worth it.
The most common engine swap is the GY6, a 150cc that can do 65mph in stock form, it's just a pain in the ass to wire up, but it's worth it.
Combine a GY6 with a big bore kit, and depending on the size, I've seen them run from 75-85 with a 160 kit, to over 90 with a 180 kit. All of those have trans mods as well: racing clutch/springs heavy duty variator, heavier roller weights in the variator, etc...
He pulls the front up due to the stretch, but I'd think that an unstretched GY6 Ruck with 2000RPM clutch springs would be a wheelie machine :lol:

You know you'll have to make it match your Integra, right?
^ I took that one on the 300mile ride in Nov. He comes out on Wednesdays occasionally.
