My HT kit just arrived (yeah!). As I was looking at the engine I noticed that the sticker on the side of it says that it is 68.5cc. This has me concerned. I intentionally ordered the 49cc kit from Powerking to make sure that I could be completely legal.
Did I get the wrong engine, or is this still a 49cc engine?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason
 
Powerking sells 49cc and "80cc" engines (which are about 66-68cc). They might have shipped you the wrong one. Just take the label off. A few extra cc of displacement won't hurt anything.
 
The label fell off my 80cc (66cc) engine so if I ever get pulled over, I'll say it's 48cc.
 
Just Great!

I'll soon be an outlaw.

Who knows? Next I'll probably be tearing the tags off of my mattresses. Where will it end?

It can only lead to a life of crime. Riding a 69cc motorized bicycle is a "stepping stone" crime that will lead to a criminal lifestyle. I do not recommend jumping right into tearing tags off of mattresses after you complete your build. Maybe drive without wearing your seatbelt, or while talking on your cell phone before you jump right into the federal crimes like mattress tag removal!
 
Actually, I just noticed that I have the same problem. Ordered the black 49cc kit, but the label on the engine says 68.5cc. Looking on their website, however, it seems as if the intake pipe from the carb to the engine is slightly more rounded on the 49cc model, and it is certainly rounded on my bike's engine. I think the Chinese company might make one label and put it on both models-- how would Zoombicycles make the same mistake twice?
