Re: bought my first scooter.... and im feeling buyers remors
My spree feels fine at 40mph and I have knobbies on it. I put new EBC brake shoes front and rear and it stops like a champ. As long as the motor and trans do what you need them to, whether it be stock or swapped it will be whatever you make it2slow2go wrote:I hate to say this but I think you will regret it if plan on driving this moped around reliable and safely at 35-45 mph. The spree is smaller than the elite, the suspension isnt that good, the brakes would be worse at higher speeds, they just feel "squirrely" at higher speeds.
I had two sprees and decided to sell them and by a 94 or newer elite I am glad I did.
just something to think I think for practical purposes the elite would be 10000 times better but if you want a unique/fast scooter as a project or hobby scooter then do the swap.
