Orite. Just reaching my 16th now and wondering what ped to go for. Im not to botherd about age. Im just wanting somthing watercooled that i can play with. Not botherd about them working either. Just wondering which peds are watercooled and which aint. I know the piaggio zip sp's are Aerox's are but not to sure on any others. Reason for wanting a water cooled is ive got alot of experience in minimotos i know your thinking them lil rubbish things but these are the proper italian ones costing around 4000 now. http://www.dmr2t.com . Anyways with them the water cooleds always took more and they have basicly the same kind of engines as the peds apart from the rollers ect. I think... (correct me if im wrong) Ive got the use of our dyno and it takes up to 125cc. I also have the use of the workshop and i know these engines very well know so scooter engines shouldnt be too hard to pick up. Anyways hope some1 can point me in the right direction on which bikes are what i want. Thanks Wilko
How much would i be looking at for one of them?? There aint seemed to be none of them on ebay for ages. Wilko

Thanks mate I know what im looking for now. If anyone needs to use a dyno in hull we have one that takes up to 125. http://www.dmr2t.com/dynapro.php Ring Ian on the contact page for info. Thanks Wilko
Are they the same engine but water cooled barrel and air cooled barrel?? Just wondered wether it would be possible to make a piaggio zip into a water cooled. Mount a radiator under the front faring. Cut some wholes in also to cool the rad. Barrel ect?? Thanks Wilko
ye its just a case of changing the cylinder fitting a rad and cutting out the area for the watewrpump... OR just run an electric pump (better option)
get yourself a nice zip sp, polini 70s cast iron a nice sensible carb and a exchaust to match although 172's are just as iilegal as a derestricted 50 or a 70 but you have less chance of being caught on a 70's
yer spose, zips are good, fast too but whatever you do dont get a yamaha jog. thats the first and only 50 i had and it was pants lol endless problems with it.
Since when is a derestricted 50 illegal lolololol ? Well ok when your 16 it is but when your 17 your more than welcome to derestrict it.
yeah he's aprouching his 16th, so a derestriced 50 is iilegal as it goes over 31mph when registered as a moped :blush:.
