Chinese peds

recently brought one of those baotian chinese peds off ebay, thought id make it into a project, anyone got an opinion on these? and any ideas for what to do to it?

also any shops that sell decent tuning parts for them?

Re: chink peds

"Chink" eh... how nice of you.
You deserve to have been robbed for your money by the manufacturers.
Shame

 

cheers

haha yeh i know they get slagged off a hell of a lot, but i thought because of that id try and do them justice and make a nice one!

they arent too terrible, build quality is good and theyre not bad runners, but obviously nothing compared to a decent ped.

this put aside im still interested in modding one up

Re: chink peds

merely a nickname for it, no racist intentions or anything like that.

and if your going to say something try and back it up?
as ive said

no they arent sports peds
no they arent fast
no they arent popular

but thats what im trying to prove, that despite that they can still be made into alright little peds.

cheers admin for editing topic, i was going to but couldnt
and sorry if i insulted anyone, was not mean in a racial way

no suggestions then?
i knew it would be hard to do as they are 4stroke but surely it could be done?

 

well you could have the head gasfloed and larger valves machined in, get the barrel bored out to it's limit and get a piston to match.

best scoots for this are agility 50s. get a full tuning kit for £150

 

im not looking to match a 2stroke, im just wanting to get a little more out of it in all areas, and to do it all myself so i can take pride in my work.

if its a no hope then ill just keep it stock, but i think im gonna just go ahead and try and do as much as possible.

thanks for the help

funnily enough i was going to put that up for debate,
although id much rather mod the 4stroke engine
just out of curiosity do you know anyone with a piaggio 2stroke engine for sale :rofl:

Slayeh^

 

if ya need any parts for it ask me as ive got one in bits and have all the piaggio 2t parts to fit a piaggio engine with.
i sugest you get shot tho as they realy are shit and moast proberbly kill you

 

I'd advise against this project altogether (sorry!)

Fasteners all over it will be junk. Frame will be flexy and the welding on it probably pretty poo. Plastics will be most probably be brittle. Tyre choice will be narrow. Electrics as above.

If your intentions are to make a bit of a sleeper, I'd try and get hold of a honda, Not the best looking scoots but japanese are a bit more advanced than the chinese equivalents, And spares should be easily available.

 

yep i agree, unreliable, crap build quality, hard to find parts...

 

thanks minor, i cant say im not a little put off!

i know the engine is a 139qmb based on the honda engine, dont know if that helps?

im still looking into it, found a couple of sites that sell specific parts for these peds, 80cc cylinder, head, piston and camshaft for 94 quid haha.

they could be the same motor design as the kmco or the sym.
