how can you boost a motorized bike?

[john]

Im planning on buying one of those motor kits for bicycles and I really like modding and the creative aspect and id really like to boost it(make it go faster lol)
i understand turbocharging it would put too much pressure on it...unless i can make my own mini turbo...what are some ways i can boost it tho? or some other mods i can put on it like exaughst? thank you!

Um, this sounds like a very fun, bad idea. You'll want free flowing intake and exhaust for certain, plus precision machining with almost zero tollerance for higher RPMs. I think you might consider other fuel types besides pump gas. Two stroke is louder but stronger than four stroke. Take and engine class and bring your bike in as a project. You'll soup it up then blow it up, Awesome!

Check out the video on the internet I found a few years ago. It's good for ideas. Search for 'camaro vs nitro scooter'. It's really a Trans-am, but the scooter's engine setup is what you'll be interested in. It's kinda put together in a FnF way for humor and throws out some specs in the beginning. Nitrous... ooh. haha!
