    Thinking of shoehorning something else into my girlfriends zip...
    Anything you can recomend? Needs to be 2t ;)
    I have a suzuki ug 110, nice pokey engine, but the mounts are completely differend and would interfere with the frame.
    Would a runner 125 fit? :O

    its not a straight swap tho mate looms are kinda tricky to do and the mounts need to be done properly, gilly engines are water cooled they also have disk brakes i wundt put a water cooled engine, keep it aircooled a typh engine wud be good especially the older typh engine as you can use the nice little zip wheels onit big wheel zips arent nice
