Hi all,
This is my first post.
I ride a whizzer (i dont know the exact model) which i think is a replica of the 50s style. It has the white wall tires and a 150cc engine.
I know this is introduce yourself but I have a problem! I cant seem to get the belt tension just right so the clutch belt slips how its supposed to but the rear belt grabs. When I go up a steep hill, my speed reduces to less than half and a horrible screeching noise happens. Im forced to pedal this monstrocity of a bike just so it will (what I feel) continue to go.
I have adjusted the belt before so it takes me up a hill at 30-40 mph but then when im stopped at a light or stop sign, my clutch is much too tight and it stalls.
Iv played with both of the engine adjust bolts and have finally decided that I want one that is less of a tinkerer's toy and more of a serious vehicle reaching speeds of 40 mph and not having to worry about the belt slipping.
Sadly, my budget is another problem;especially with how important aesthetics are to me as well.
In conclusion, my question to you is:
Should i continue to tinker with the whizzer and be content with having to pedal after a stop or can someone recommend an old school looking 50cc moped (pref with picture) that can reach 40 mph WITHOUT PEDALS and is reliable all under a budget of about $1000 dollars?
Thanks in advance for any and all comments and suggestions!
