Sym dd50
Hey there guys is the sym dd50 any good. I have had no luck w/the other 2 scooter purchases, but found a sym dd50 locally, as in 5 miles away. I thought that I've see on the hawian forums that they use the dd50 motors in some of there scoots. I was wondering what kind of restrictions there are. It a 2008. Thanks in advance for any input.

Got it
OK folks I got the dd50 is a 07 w/800 miles. What are the restrictions? I checked the variator & there is nothing I pulled the carb & I saw nothing. Is it the exhaust & Air box. To be honest I am a little disappointed with it. It rides quite well & the front brake rocks, but it tops out at 30-32 & looses speed like my elite e on a hill. I thought that these things were suppose to be pretty nice out of the box. It's defiantly no Honda. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My friend has a dd50. I think the brakes are awesome (disc vs. brake, its pretty much no contest). The chassis actually feels nice to me, more heavy and solid than the elite. On the same token, the heaviness feels wierd. It doesn't seem as nimble or tossable as an elite. I prefer elites.
For someone who wants a newer bike with less issues, or if your the type that wondered "Is this thing safe at 50mph?" than it's a nice choice.
If you're like me, and are comfortable flicking your moped around like a toy, and riding on tiny tires as fast as they will take you, keep looking for a nice elite.

You can install a 90/90 of 310 on an elite S if you wanted to which would be the same for the DD50808BMW wrote:My friend has a dd50.

Yep she doesn't know about the sccoter yet. She thinks it's for a co worker. Her b day is next week. She seems to handle the elite s pretty well although it's a deristricted one with an r1. I'm hoping the taller gear ratio will keep it from wheel standing off the line. I have that issue with both of my elite s's & frankenspree. Off hand does anyone know the
