    Just goes to show you don't always need a 4x4 to make an entertaining off-road video, solid effort👍🏼

    That looked like a ton of fun, I used to race motocross back in the day, I couldn't imagine running around that terrain on those little scooters, lol.

    The tires are tubeless, but you can put tubes in them if you can find the right size. But that wheel looks pretty destroyed to me. Fortunately Chinese scooter wheels are almost all the same, so you should be able to find another one. Most likely the reason the wheel bent was because the tire was under inflated. Inflate the tires to about 45 psi. And slow down. Chinese scooters will not hold up very long riding like that. The biggest problem you are going to have is keeping dirt out of the CVT. The CVT cover has vents at both ends. The front has sort of a filter, but it was not designed for dirt riding. The rear vent is completely open. The idea is when the scooter is being ridden on the street, the fan sucks in air through the front vent with the filter, and it comes out the back. But at low speeds in the dirt, It doesn't work very well, and dirt and gravel can get in through the rear vent and totally destroy the belt and pulleys.

    This is bloody funny :-). Biggest problem here with these will always be the high centre of gravity on these scooters, that and the lack of rotational stability from the small wheels. Great to see how far you can make these things go though. Prepare for lots fried centrifugal clutches lol.

    • @Alex.G
      @Alex.G  6 лет назад

      Thanks, glad you liked it! 🙂 the reason were calling them scooters one second and moped the next is a technicality as the Australian government classes anything under 50cc as a 'moped' 🙄

    next time you want to go off road buy off road tires first, kids.
