Hello any tips on how to make a good elite that will go offroad and oh road?

Yeah, much longer suspension travel. Rear is easy, longer shock. The front means you have to fabricate a longer set up and that means stealing and making fit dirt bike front end.

not sure what to get it off of but you can find a small bike, moped or scooter that has a triple tree and cut hte sterring stem off and weld it onto the elite steering stem then you can get whatever forks will fit the triple with stiffer or lighter springs in them depending on what type of offroad use and front disk brake

its not gonna be a bolt on unless you order a dio triple tree from europe or asia, you can always search around for forks that will fit

Put these pit bike forks on the front.

On top of that you end up with a disc brake.

The se50 has a really light front end, not good for low traction turning. I would use a bike with more front end load if you want to do serious riding.

just get a dirt bike if you want to go off road....

Honsa does make a good dirtbike...

Why offroad a scooter anyways? A bent frame and forks will quickly result.
