    can get a fully running aerox 100 for 130 and my aerox 50 engine is fucked(cranks gone) :/ so if i bought the 100 would it be a straight swap onto my frame?just remove the rad an pipes. and use the 100 loom too ? for the cost of new crank ect i might aswell get the 100

    thank you :p

    I think its something along those lines but i dont know why you would want to do it if you fixed your aerox 50 engine and tuned it then it would run faster than the 100 cc

    Problem is the 100cc is no faster than mildly modified 50cc.

    Its also not as tunable.

    Personally i'd fix your own engine, source a replacement 50cc engine or sell your bike as spares/repair and just run the 100.

    Swapping a 100 into a 50 will just devalue it when you come to sell.

    I agree with the comments, 100cc engines are good commuters. They have the edge on even a 50cc runner, especially up hills, but the moment you start to tune the 50, it starts to out-pace the 100. When I tuned the pug 100 into a 120 with the bolt-ons, it was poor for the money spent, but did have some low down and mid range grunt. The crank is considerably larger and heavier than a 50, so once it gets spinning, there is quite a lot of stored energy/torque.
