Where is the starter on a 2008 Shanghai Shenke 49cc scooter?

by Arthur Risker

My 2008 Shanghai Shenke 49cc scooter will not start, starter turns but does not engage. I don't even know where the starter is located on this 49cc scooter.


Can anyone give me some guidance on where to look and what to look for? Thanks!

Shenke scooter starter malfunction
by: Steve

I have a 2008 150cc Shenke scooter with a similar condition where the starter doesn't engage. I'm suspecting a burnt out starter solenoid... does this sound likely (has anyone had this problem)? The starter area makes a whirring sound, but the engine does not turn. If so, is anyone familiar with what's involved in replacing this... is it an easy DYI?

Thanks,
Steve

Very good scooter
by: Anonymous

I owned a Shanghai Shenke scooter for two years and loved it. Once I got it up to my standards it was all good. I rode that thing all over North Carolina and when I sold it, the new owner put extra work into it and now it's even better... it's at 10,000 miles or better now, still going strong.

Buried

All starters are buried right in front of your rear wheel, above and behind the crankcase.

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.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...
