So I just got my first scooter, it's a 2009 Kymco Agility 50. As I'm sure many people before me have noticed, 50cc scooters terribly lack speed. I have a lot of rarely-used roads in my city, which is why the scooter is good for commuting to the university I attend.
Now the thing is, I'm looking to get some more speed out of my scooter. WOT speed is 32-33mph (and no, I don't constantly ride at WOT). Would it be possible to change out some parts to achieve WOT speed of around 45mph? I would like to use the scooter to commute to work as well but I need to travel on a road with a limit of 35mph, and let's just say people here are a little less than friendly to those who travel under the speed limit. And should a hazard arise on the road, having a little extra speed to dart out of the way could not possibly hurt. I would also like to be able to get to the walmart where I live, which requires going on a road with a speed limit of 40mph.
Quick background on my scooter
-Purchased new
-250+ km on it (still not broken in, it is considered broken in at 1000km)
-No modifications have been made to it
-It has not been derestricted
I already know of a few things such as a less restrictive exhaust and a free flow air filter, but if someone could assist me by telling me which is the best to buy and, most importantly, where to buy from, that would be great.
I'm a light person, I weigh about 130lbs, so what do you guys think is best to try to push the WOT speed up to 45mph? Please NO big bore kits, I'm not sure on the legality of BBKs but I'd rather not take the risk of voiding the insurance and causing trouble with Johnny Law. I live in Pennsylvania and the law on 50cc scooters is basically anything under 50cc (My kymco is 49.5) doesn't require a license, so I need to keep it as a 49.5cc. I've been browsing around this forum since I got my scooter and I really like the personalized scooters and all the interesting topics, and I hope to continue to stay here. Thanks.
