Can you help me with my 49cc scooter?

by Nicholas Hernandez
(Jacksonville, Florida, USA)

I just changed my drive belt, since the last one got shredded inside the drive belt system. Now, the my scooter won't produce power when the tires are on the floor. The back tire will speed up nicely when the scooter is on the stand but it does not transmit power to the tires once the tires are both on the road.


Could I have done something wrong when I put it together? The scooter is about two and a half years old, but has no name brand. The engine was made by Honda, so I can only believe that the rest of the scooter was, as well. Thank you for any help you can provide.

there are bearings in the front belt pully and if they are not all in there exactly right it wont pull, you will need an air wrench to get it off! after you get them in right and put it back together it will run right

Sounds to me like there isn't any tension on the belt.When you lift it off the floor,the wheel is coming down and the belt is grabbing.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
