Hey,
I know this thread is old, but I'm just breaking in my first build - an 80 cc happy time with a drum brake on the front hub and coaster brake in back - and I've been smelling burning rubber too.
Did you ever find out what it was? Did it ever stop ?
Curious,

Both of my 80cc's smelled pretty gnarly the first few times they heated up thoroughly. I would say the smell was present for maybe a week, after that it gradually went away.
I figure it was just the smell of china burning off
