Right on right on right on..........!The ONLY subsitute for cubic inches...is more cubic inches. That old rule has stood for many years and still holds true today. Take any two engines, no matter the performance enhancements and the one with more displacement will produce the greatest power. Its actually a fact of physics that cannot be altered.
Please don't augue that the new generation, high output , turbocharged, injected and computer controlled, small displacement 4 bangers will out perform, say, a small block (350 CID) Chevy. Put the same power producing equipment on the little Chevy motor that you have on your 2 liter rice burner and the bigger displacement engine will win...every time. Let me reiterate...The only subsitute for cubic inches, is more cubic inches (or CCs)
Okay...I'll just sit here and wait for the storm to build.

The comparison to what you are talking about here would be like taking an engine out of a sport bike the runs 150mph and putting it in a 1/2 ton pickup truck......it wouldnt do much.I think the foot scooter motors smoke the bike motors for lunch. I know I hit 42 with my 49cc, and I dont even have to peddle off the line or at the top end. (dont have 'em)
Yes they will, and the 46cc (CY46 / GP 460) is also made in China and powers my stand-up foot scoot up to 52mph and it's a single speed. The fastest I've ever a motorized bicycle single speed up to is 45mph....quite a difference. The accelleration is like night and day...the little scoot will smoke the bike hands down...PERIOD.I think the foot scooter motors smoke the bike motors for lunch.

heh,The comparison to what you are talking about here would be like taking an engine out of a sport bike the runs 150mph and putting it in a 1/2 ton pickup truck......it wouldnt do much.
your motorized skateboard has small tires & wheels which are much easier to pull, you have much less weight overall and a little higher reving engine, but take that motor you have on your foot scooter and put it on a 26" mountain bike with a 36T final drive sprocket and then put it side by side with a good running 66cc china girl that will get around 40+mph with this setup and you will be very surprised with how much better the 66cc china girl will pull that bike compared to the 49cc engine on your foot scooter.
foot scooters with 49cc engines and 26" bicycles with tuned 66cc china girls are not apples to apples.
But on another note, I would love to have a board scooter like the one you have if it will do 40+mph I can see how that would be a lot of fun, and dont get me wrong here I have nothing against foot scooters at all, I plan to build one for myself in the future.
Happy safe riding all.......!
