Evening, I’m after some tips , my daughter is 16 and riding a 2021 symjet 14 50cc , it’s a fantastic moped for her in every way bar the performance, it takes around 30 seconds to get near 30mph, I don’t trust it pulling out of junctions as so gutless , cars understandably get frustrated stuck behind her so Ive bought a late 2005 air cooled NRG 50 mc3
I am not a scooter fan, I ride a Ducati but kids have to start somewhere lol
so this NRG is tired, I’m going to strip and rebuild the whole bike , I know I will attract comments such as “legally she can’t go over 30” or “wait til 17 and get a 125, she’s only just 16 so got nearly a year for that , so 50 is only option for now
I bought this NRG for £100 so don’t mind spending a few quid to get it decent, it does start but needs exhaust and some other minor repairs to get up to a rideable standard , do these rspond ok to tuning, I’ve heard variator, rollers , rejet etc but what are the easiest ways to get a little better acceleration, and 40mph plus would be good .
Cheers in advance
ps, I’m a mechanical engineer in the big diesel industry so no issue doing the work but my knowledge is not great on mopeds
