awesome man, i just bought the red Super GSR46R that was on closeout. had a used GSR sport growing up and excited to relive the memories again on a brand new one. enjoy it brother!!
That’s awesome and I’m jealous! I hope you make a video of it. Buying a brand new one made me want to buy another new one, it’s so much easier than rebuilding a ragged out used one😂
Best feeling ever, I’m 32 years old I’ll never forget when I got my very first brand new one when I was like 15, prior to that I always had used ones. Fast-forward to when COVID started I bought one brand new and it was like reliving that moment all over again lol. I have a few peds now and a lot of money invested into them they mostly sit, but I love it for the nostalgia.
That’s awesome! I always wanted one, then I bought a clapped out sport when I was 20, and now I’m 27 got back into it again. I’ve built 3 more this year. I don’t ride them a ton but I enjoy the hell out of riding them and building them!
As an aussie I always wanted a goped when I was in my teens but they were pretty much impossible to get here. Nice to see you have a 'holden' in the back as well!
wth that thing looks so fun! i've never ridden a gas powered scooter like that but it looks like such a great time! maybe not necessarily with maintenance. it's too bad they're gonna stop selling these new
They are super fun! Maintenance/modifying is half of the hobby. They’ll still sell the rolling chassis for these (provide your own engine) or you can buy the new 4 stroke GSR. GSR air tire peds are leaps and bounds more stable and faster than these hard tire sports but also larger and more complex
i guess i’m just scared of maintenance cuz i don’t have any experience in it yet 🤦♂️ but otherwise that’s sick. i just checked out their website and they have so many great options. i was surprised by them selling normal kick scooters for like $250 and that just seems a little too overpriced. is that the model where you can put your own engine? all the models look like so much fun
You can still buy all the parts to piece together a "brand new" goped sport but goped isnt making anymore "turn key"/ "factory assembled" ones. The newer sports are overall much nicer than the older models and the gp290 engine has the perfect amount if power for a stock sport its much better than the old school g23lh or g2d.
Hey 👋🏽 I noticed you said...your not going to mix 25:1 .. ok.. the LH .motor was 2 piston rings .. the motor you have is an RC G230rc that's an race engine .. idk how you got that engine in there . They usually come on super sports ,super xpeds , and some xpeds .. The best oil to use is 927 Castrol oil gold and black bottle .. 25:1 you'll hit 35mph easy ..
Rebuilding my sport with g290rc. Does anyone know if the throttle is supposed to stop before hitting the grips? Carb is opening all the way and it’s a stock cable. Thanks
If the carb is opening all the way then it’s fine. You can also adjust the cable at the carb to take up any slack when it’s closed/in the idle position
Nah, the newer gopeds are way better (except the super xped the original was better). The newer mach12 wheels are far superior to the 3 spoke wheels that always cracked, the gp290 engine will run circles around a g23lh or g2d engine, the newer ones have nicer handle bars and throttle lever, better grips and the newer style frames are actually more reinforced and much stronger than the old style frames. The older ones are just more nostalgic.

Yeah these cars are incredible, GM really fumbled by not marketing them better
Remarkable purchase

Having owned an old G23lh sport too, this one is way nicer

No way you're hitting 35 on it with a stock spindle, no pipe, and no hp carb.
This is a GPL290. 29cc. It’s the stock engine
Bad case of the scooter sweats

Yeah carb is opening full. Lever just stops 3/4 of the way but maybe that’s the way it should be.
Also trying to get rid of the handlebar pole play. Feels loose. Everything is stock besides the motor
sounds like a weedwhacker and I love it
It basically is a weed wacker engine! Similar to RedMax power equipment engines
Newer goped stuff they cheaped out on some things the old ones are much better
