"if I had been going the speedlimit, I would have been fine" you also have a right to be on the road as much as anyone else does. so if the speed limit is 40, and with the 49-50cc bikes that's about the top limits the engine can do. then you're doing the speed limit... now I know on a hill you'd slow down to around 35 or so.... that's still well within the speed limits being you can legally travel 5 miles above or below the limit.... hell I have a taotao vetas 50 and pending on wind conditions, 45 is my top speed, and if the wind is with me I bury the speedometer needle well past 50mph. so it's the person's fault for hitting you, not yours, you were going the speed limit and they were speeding/not paying attention to the road. would be no different than if you were riding a motorcycle and you were casually going just under the posted limit, and they hit you. you had the right of way
These are sold locally at a dealer for around 1500 with a 200cc engine . I really feel like i need one because i have to attend 2 colleges withing 30 mile radius and work .WOuld you reccomend this bike?
When I say a major build on the motor I mean extensive. I have replaced the stock final drive gears with a 2.88 gear set. The clutch with a performance clutch (clutch plates, 1500rpm torque spring, 2000rpm clutch springs), full race variator with 8 gram roller's instead of the 8.5 gram stock rollers, kevlar belt, performance exhaust, 44mm stroker crank, 50mm piston and cylinder, ported and polished big valve head, A9 camshaft, 18mm stock carb (95 main jet), racing gold cdi, performance coil, and iridium spark plug. I need a good fabricator to cut the frame bar and move it back 1 inch and up 1 inch. Then I can put my 24mm carb (100-130 jet), hoca intake manifold, and pod filter on it.
Fong Dang , well the one good thing is that you made a video showing people that it can be done. Everybody is interested in the 50cc sport bikes but they aren't sure about what to expect from them so thanks for the video!
I have used up to 100mm jet and am sure it is starving for air. I can kinda fit a piece of 38mm i.d tubing in there but still starving for air. So need someone competent to cut, reshape, and weld in new frame bar.
I would try ebay or digging online. My shop was the only placed that serviced mine when I had it. My shop did make it seem that getting parts was a long drawn out process.
@@fongdang1655 you have no fucking idea. I mean corona is going on now and shit but I've been waiting since about august of LAST FUCKING YEAR for just plastics and fuckin foot pegs to come in. I don't even know when anymore.
I have a 2015 df50sst. I have done a major build on the motor and would like to ask who fabricated the 150cc into yours? My problem is that the rear frame bar where the rear shock connects makes me use the stock carb, intake, and air box instead of the new 24mm carb, intake, and air filter. I have for it. The reason being I have not figured out how to get an aftermarket air filter of any type on it yet. That frame bar is 1 inch too close and, or 1 inch too low to fit any aftermarket air filter I can find to fit the stock carb. I have tried gutting the stock air box, and sticking a pod style air filter on to the snorkle inlet of gutted air box with no filter element but stock outer air box. I've tried all the available jet sizes from scrappydogscooter.com with each configuration and decided the 95 jet works the best, but not on a stock air box, gutted air box with pod on snorkle inlet. I've found that so far the best working air filter is totally open stock air box with the foam element trapped along edges so no dirt gets in works the best so far. But think I need to find a fabricator capable of moving the frame bar back 1 inch and up 1 inch then I know I'll be ok.
+Adam Simcox My shop did all of the custom work on mine for my first DF50SST. This time, after my accident, I ordered a new one and the work kept getting prolonged because they kept running into issues in which they needed more aftermarket parts to complete the process. I guess there is a new version of the 150 CC engine. I would consult with a shop that specializes in custom work on these bikes.
+Fong Dang you are correct their is a new version of that bike. Mine is technically a Baodiao BD50QT-26A or at least according to title and numbers on fairing. But I have looked up the BD50QT-26A number and it comes back to a scooter made by this manufacturer. It looks totally different from the df50sst I seem to be riding.
+Adam Simcox The scooter that comes up when I search BD50QT-26A is made by same company. But like I said is a total different design. Also when I went to register it 1 number was missing from title, so had to have police come verify vin #.
+Adam Simcox I have motor built and installed. I now have 128.7 miles on it. I ended up cutting the bar on frame I earlier mentioned, alingned the rear shock mount up in exact same position. and raised the rear bar 1 inch. I then stuffed a keihin pd24j carb and hoca intake in there. It took some looking and alot of buying the wrong air filters but I finally did get it right. Funny part is I had the rubber boot I needed laying in a bucket in the shed the whole time. the suspension seems to track correctly and I seem to get enough air. (finally)
it's probably a long shot, but could you post the vin? I'm looking to buy one of these from PRO and I want to register it as a moped. DMV needs a vin before they can tell me if its eligible.
at least your honest about the speed the stock speed, thanks for keeping it real bro!.how much does the 150 engine cost and were do you buy it, and were did you get your work done!.
I had to take it back to the shop. There is a wire that connects to the wheel area that needs to be all the way pushed in. Mine kept falling out and I ended up having to have the shop glue it in. They told me it was a common problem with the scooters. I hope that helps.
+straightedg4lif where can you order it from? I can't find any websites and I don't see anything on the actual Dong Fang website that gives you the option to order
+VikingsFan1998 Sorry for delay.... So you can buy the Dong Fang PRO SS 200 www.powerrideoutlet.com/pro-df-50ss-200cc-street-ninja-sports-bike.html........ But you will have to register it as a motorcycle since the base bike is 200CC. When I first bought my bike, I bought a 49 CC Dong Fang DF50 SST and rode it until I got hit from behind...... WHILE DRIVING...... I was basically driving too slow. After their insurance covered my damages, I paid an extra 1300 to get a custom 150CC engine put on mine. I kept it registered as a moped because the VIN information and purchase information states it was a 49CC. The option I chose was much more expensive, but I still have documentation stating it is technically a moped if I had legal issues. If you do the 200CC option, you will need to get a motorcycle license and license plate. I hope that helps.
hey man can you please either take some pictures of all the engine mounts or make a video looking at all the engine brackets.. I'm building a second bike and it will help me out on a custom frame
Yeah, definitely overpaid for the bike. They are selling them in Charlotte NC for about $1300, but I needed the convenience of having a shop that was local that I could have just come pick my bike up whenever I had issues. I paid more for the convenience of having someone local.
xllx_Godly_xllx oh okay well shit, I haven't had a license and I've been riding my 600 forever I got pulled over once and the cop just told me to go get a license he didn't give me a ticket
+2SHAYNEZ Be sure to post a video!! I am loving the fact that more and more people are posting their Dong Fang's. Let me see your Dong!!!! LOLOLOL. I had to do it!
+2SHAYNEZ Be sure that you tell them that you want your engine to be more horizontal verses sitting at an angle. the more horizontal the engine, the longer (extended) it will be. Thats why mine looked the way it is verses the 200CC one is more at an incline. There is alot more custom work that has to be done to the 50CC than just an engine swap so thats one of the reasons why it may be a little pricey.
+Fong Dang Also, I think its fucked up they are claiming it is a 200CC when it is really a 168CC. My shop confirmed that for me when I told them about the new 200CC one and they said its not really a 200CC.
Well I plan on doing the work myself. I'm thinking I can get away with just a few welds and be good.. On going to talk to Steve at power ride about if I need the wiring harness too.
That is a bad knock off of an older r6. Buy a R3 and get a real license. I wouldn't do 60 on that thing if you paid me to. The thing to keep in mind is that every time you get on it your trusting your life to a bike who's company couldn't even do their own R&D.
I agree with you. I really do not like riding the bike (scooter) and would much prefer a real motorcycle.........but I have no license right now. So I am forced to drive a scooter and prefer to drive this scooter vs a more traditional looking scooter. But I definitely feel what you are saying.
I don't know what state you are in but most states give a rolling permit for a year with a relatively easy written test. From there my recommendation is to buy a used ninja250. It's a proper motorcycle with proper handling and speeds. And it's around the same cost as one of these scooters on the used market.
jeremy fortunato it's actually based on the 08-2016 r6 not so old imo. Based on the diamond nose on the front and a lot of key features. I don't know this scooter but the older r6 came with a different nose. And the tail on the older r6 isn't as sharp. I have a newer r6 (2016 not 2017) and it looks pretty close for a scooter. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant idk.
My point was that although this is based visually on an R6, which I own, it's a scooter and far from a real motorcycle. In fact if you want a proper scooter that looks cool you can buy an Aprilia.
i have this same bike in blue, mines is 49cc tho stock. but i was wondering if i could do 2 things to it. 1) gear it up to about 3 to 4 gears maybe. but mine you this is a scooter were talking about. also 2) helmets. id like to have an inner trunk to place my helmet. how much will it cost me and is it possible for the trunk? and how many cc do i need to upgrade too, to add gears . any help would be vary much appreciated.
Honestly, I really cannot answer these questions. I simply told the shop I bought it from what i wanted, paid them my money, and they delivered my bike to me as a 150CC

Did u make it go any faster then what it does, and how much faster
I just picked one up used and it is missing the muffler and pipe. Any idea where to order a new one?
amazon gy6 parts
does anyone know what kind of headlight bulb this bike takes
So if the 50cc can go up to 45 why does the speedometer day 60? I’m getting confused on that.
Theoretically if you're going down a steep enough hill, you can get close to 60. I've definitely hit the 50 mark.
Where was the shop that did the 150 switch at
Where can i buy the exact bike at
Getting mine this month , found a shop that can do a big bore kit 🏍✨
aye when u had the 49 did u ever try the carb pin tune or no
Nothing is wrong with the bike. He just forgot to turn off the kill switch.
You spent $1,200 to put a 150cc engine on your bike. lmao! You got ripped off bad!
I know, but I did what I had to do. Money is not really an issue for me.
Fong Dang , well the one good thing is that you made a video showing people that it can be done. Everybody is interested in the 50cc sport bikes but they aren't sure about what to expect from them so thanks for the video!
+Fong Dang Does it still work?
you reakky didnt get ripped off engine is $400-450 the install not to bad
Hello! I have the same bike, but wanna upgrade the engine where could I buy a bigger engine??
On line its a gy6 engine upgrade to a 150cc around $350
Can you share a link where to get this bike!?!?
I didn't make video but did make a slideshow of mine. I tried to show where I cut the frame and the nitrous was installed.
Please tell me this bike is 50 cc or less

I bought it from a place called Ultra Power sports. I bought the bike first as is and later they modded the bike for me. Im in NC

Google Ultra Power Sports. They are in Raleigh and Pittsboro

anyway to make this bike bigger? its so small and im 6ft

They 60-70 mph
I did make a video now. Unfortunatly mine is mostly built. But I will continue to update as I can.
Did a shop that you physically went to do it or can you order it as a 150 and just pay extra?
