A 50cc tuned or not can only produce 3.5 hp maybe 5 if its fuel injected and water cooled but noplace near 9. actually 9 is impressive even for a 150cc...
It is important to note that two stroke 50cc engines can produce upwards of 20 horsepower, with land speed record holding 50cc engines producing over 25. 50cc 4 strokes can likely (and affordably) produce slightly over 5 BHP, with proper mods. When I had data acquisition, I logged 5.3 hp. Although albeit downhill, with exhaust, filter, cdi, variator, etc. The same (very slight) hill can be seen in the video of my honda ruckus towing a car
my point was why replace a quility built engine by honda with one of those piece of shit gy6 chinese engine. You would be better of putting a 25hp briggs and straton or 150cc honda or yamaha engine on it.
TO each his own. Personally, My ruckus had the chanito big bore kit, exhaust, etc. on the stock engine, and was very reliable. I did not like the idea of a GY6, so I stayed stock. This was almost 2 years ago. The ruckus engine has only one problem: It costs to much to make it fast. I had spent over 800 making my stock engine faster, and only got up to 55 miles per hour. I could have spent a lot less, and gone a lot faster if I had gone GY6. Keep in mind, the GY6 was honda designed!
and you are absolutely right, stock for stock, the Honda ruckus engine trumps the Chinese GY6 in the reliability department. But it does fall short in the power department.
yeah gy6 is hondas design minus quality parts. There is nothing wrong with the design of a gy6. There is a major problem with how they make a gy6. They are junk.
Just buy a real engine if you want more power... or a bigger scooter.
the idea is to keep the sleek design of the ruckus with a faster speed. Everyone knows you can get a faster scooter with ugly plastics. Also we know that there are faster bikes out there, but we like to stay in the scooter scene with a Honda Ruckus.
But yes, they are mainly chinese built, with a Japanese made engines obtainable from salvage scoots. The japanese stoped producing these engines a long time ago, so any Japanese GY6 would have some years, and possibly miles on it. That's probably why they have decided to go with a new, chinese GY6. While the Japanese still make a few modernized GY6 variants, fewer parts are interchangeable, and Japan largely produces better, more sophisticated engins
I would have bought one if they made it in 2-stroke

thats an air cooled gy6.

Why don´t put a 2stroke engine on it.
We get 20HP from 70cc scooters here in Holland.
Just use a Minarelli of Piaggio engine. (watercooled, from a Runner or Aerox)
The only thing that keeps me from buying a Zoomer/Ruckus is the slow 4stroke...

Because it utilizes a CVT or Continuously Variable Transmission.

Kinda bad advertising here. Ruckus=50cc engine.
This is a Ruckus shell with a 150cc engine in it.
3x the displacement and making about 2x the power.

Wow, 9+ HP from 150 cc? How do you do it? My 39 year old shopping bike only makes 24 HP.

if he is getting 9+ hp it is a 150+cc

dude, does the word "tuning" mean anything for you?
You can tune a 50cc engine to produce more than 10 hp, you fool...
and it's NOT impressive to get 9 hp from a 150 cc, when a 125cc has 10-15 hp.
Gaute83 2 years ago
150? 125cc? That's 49cc at ~9HP.
