Goped Bigfoot

So I recently acquired this Goped Bigfoot. I bought it used with a few upgrades. It came with the stock G23LH motor, with a CY29CC Big Bore kit (35mm big bore/2mm stroker crank), Sikk Torque expansion pipe, Mad Dog brakes (drilled rotors, with mechanical calipers/pads), new handle bars/steering stem, new billet deck, 3rd bearing support, and lockout. I have found out that 2 mm stroker cranks are not good, 1mm are optimal, and stock are just about as good as the 1mm. So, I replaced the crank with a stock g230RC crank. It pulls HARD now, and tops out at 27.5 mph, which means the engine is spinning at 14,800 rpm. When I had the crank case apart, I noticed that the previous owner had done some porting in the transfer ports, so that was an interesting surprise. In the mail, I have new tires and a new spindle. The tires have a tread pattern similar to a Toyo R1R (http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.2720/.f). The spindle will be larger, thus having a higher top end, and less acceleration. I figure that since I pull wheelie's all the time, without meaning to, I have the extra power to pull a larger spindle. If I'm still able to reach the 3rd power band, and hit the max rpm, I'll be looking at a 33 mph top speed. On to the pictures!

That's what my dad calls a "souped up weed whacker." Looks like fun, it's even got a righty fork!

It's a ton of fun! My friend from FSAE had a leaf blower that he put a goped expansion pipe on

Nice bro!

It's currently broken. I shredded through the rear wheel, because it's plastic. I'm trying to find a used magnesium wheel, since they are $50 new. I look forward to riding this to the meets!

It just looks like it would be alot of fun!

It's a hell of a lot of fun It's powerful enough to throw a 230 pound dude off the back! If you don't put all of your weight on the front, it'll immediately pull a wheelie.

Just ordered a new magnesium rear wheel, with 4 new wheel studs, and a quart of Klotz Super Technique 2-stroke performance oil.

I want to see it with the sport tires! If they're anything like the ones for bikes, that is an immense amount of grip for that thing.

I'll hopefully ride it to the next meet! With all the new goodies!

Woot! Got my new wheel in today, mounted up the new tires, and went for a little ride!

How was your little ride??

It's making a little whistling noise. I can't tell if it's an air leak at the carb, or if it's just the new wheel bearing breaking in. More diagnosis will be needed tomorrow!

I rode about 10 miles today, around the streets of the ace deuce.

Heard something as a walked out of pioneer, but could not think was it was. Looked back and saw adam cruising around the drop off.

Bro I need to be in the goped game so bad!
