- Sold the Honda scooter ... bought a 2019 Lexmoto Aspire as I knew it was easy to swap in any pitbike engine, its now running a 110cc. Basically same as a lexmoto hunter.
Just a little video to introduce my thoughts on the bike and some riding.
That sounds so much better and this seems much better than buying a 125 cc.
Yeah it makes quite a nice sound compared to the buzzzzzz of the 50cc 😂
@@nitrorory yeah and the screaming when going up hills😂. I think I might do an engine swap instead of buying a whole new bike.
😂 I know the 50 is depressing going up hills. The advantage of a 125 bike is usually a thicker frame and better brakes to deal with that speed so consider that.
Could you please give me more details about the engine you Installed I also got lexmoto aspire but I don't know the engine exactly you installed o. Your lexmoto aspire
Any pitbike engine fits , the engines are used widely for anything Chinese like pit bikes quads etc. Search pitbike engines on eBay and you’ll see lots of them.
I've got a lexmoto hunter 50cc I picked up a pit bike with a 140cc racing engine put straight in mine doesn't charge battery because its only for off road so I charge my battery every couple of days I've added a easy way to charge battery instead of removing cover it does 68mph flat out different sprockets I'm fat so lightweight person would probably reach 70s got pit bike muffler on so sounds meaty lol
That must be really quick ! If you swapped the stator to one with 2 yellow wires it would charge the battery for you
@@nitrorory I've got another project just got a 170cc engine twin muffler bit of welding tomorrow and I'm putting the 140cc back in my pit bike for a project for next year may be lol
@@nitrorory 16 teeth sprocket on front and 35 teeth sprocket on the back can go longer in the gear's bit slower pulling off but top end keeps going its my 3rd engine had 2 worn out engines you bye second from kids that have ragged them around a field your gonna get rubbish 😉
@@paulwebster412 yeah I bought the 110 engine brand new and changed the oil every 300 miles to keep it mint
Sounds amazing !
It had quite a nice noise with the cone filter this one 👍🏻☺️
@@nitrorory makes me laugh to think it's probably quicker than my Sinnis Terrain ! lol
Do you have any idea how many teeth are on your front sprocket? The 125cc engine (GN125) we sourced, used a different sprocket pitch to the Lexmoto chain, so could not be used but the original Hunter sprocket fits on fine but I think it might benefit from being geared up slightly with some extra teeth.
I sold this bike a while ago but I think I changed it up to a 14t front sprocket.
@@nitrorory cheers!
@@gtd65 I think the original hunter sprocket is 11t ? So yes 14t was ideal for my 110cc. It would do about 55mph on the flat with great acceleration
Hi, just in the process of swapping my hunter to a 110 could you give me any information about the electronic control unit, do you leave it connected or bypass it? And did you use the original wiring loom? Thanks
Hi there, you don’t need to make any changes to the electronic control unit or wiring loom ☺️ Really simple 👍🏻
@@nitrorory that's great thank you, did you leave the lambda sensor plug disconnected?
@@jasminebluck5102 yes don’t need that any more
@@nitrorory okay great, is there any way you can make the gear selector indicator work on the dash by using the original switch??
@@jasminebluck5102 yes , did the 110 engine come with the little cable for it ? From the engine there’s one big multi plug and a small one … it’s the small one that shows the gear.
You can buy them online but make sure you get the right one for your gear pattern, whether it’s 1 N 2 3 4 or N 1 2 3 4
I’d like to do a 110 cc engine swap on my lexmoto hunter 50 I’ve seen that the aspire and hunter have the same engine so do you think that it’s possible to do a swap? Also if so where did you find urs ? Thanks!
Yip aspire and hunter are the same frame. Almost any pitbike engine should fit. Lots of places to buy , I used ooracing.com Adrian there gives good advice if you need it, good service.
You certainly hit some respectable speeds here, but I think you almost rear ended that white car at a junction.
Thus proving the need for break upgrades.
This ped was built to price, so I guess those brakes were optimum for a 30 mph set up.
Could try sintered pads, but I don't think that'll help as much as is required.
Can you say how much the conversion to 110cc cost you at the time?
To be fair I was closer to the white car than I should have been , the camera angle makes it look worse than it really was , but I did brake harder than I should have to. The brakes were pretty lame on that bike.
I actually am keeping much more of a distance from traffic these days so I think my riding has improved.
The 110 engine cost about £220 at the time I bought it and put it in myself.
@@nitrorory Thank you for the information.👍
I'm doing the 110 engine swap same as you from ooracing I'm guessing it's the 40w single phase with 2 yellow wires I need for the lights/indicators to work
Thanks
That’s right it’s the one with 2 yellow wires you need 👍🏻
Thanks man, that's the single phase I need glad I checked before ordering it haha
@@jamesbrooke9883 no problem , hope you enjoy the upgrade !
Thanks man I'm sure I will, just hope it's as simple as splitting the wires & attaching them to the same colours 🤣
@@jamesbrooke9883 it was for me, should be easy
Hi Roy nice video, btw I'm just completing a 110cc conversation for my daughter jasmine, just wanted to ask your engine you put in I presume had a DC stator in it ? Cheers Tim
Yes , you need single phase charging which has 2 yellow wires from it. If your stator only has one yellow wire you’d need to change it.
@@nitrororyI wish I understood electrics
Hi bud what is the new engine called and where can I get one cheers.
Hey I bought this zongshen from ooracing. It’s a good solid engine. You’ll need the single phase option with 2 yellow wires. www.ooracing.com/engine-110-2-valve-zongshen-manual-all-up-n-1-2-3-4-black.html
Any good sources of information that discuss the differences between the pit bike engine wiring and the Lexmoto wiring loom connections?
You need a pitbike engine with a stator that has 2 yellow wires to suit the lexmoto. A lot of pitbike engines come with just one yellow. If you get one with the wrong type of output you can change the stator to the 2 yellow type.
I just ordered an engine from ooracing with the right stator already fitted. Then I just pulled the connector block off the original engine and out the new engine wires into it
@@nitrorory so if you get the two yellow wire stator that's it good to go? I notice on the Hunter there's also a green connector from the engine going into the CDI? Where do you plug that in, as there's only one lead coming out of the pit bike engine?
@@gtd65 yep stator with 2 yellow wires is what you need. My engine stator had the green wire which connected to one on the bike , it’s separate to the rest of them which are on a multi connector
@@nitrorory I see the two yellow wire stator is out of stock at Ooracing. I'm still somewhat confused about where the CDI connection is made, as the original one was connected to the green block connecter (not the single green ground wire) coming out of the engine?
@@nitrorory I might be confusing the black box for the gear position wiring with the CDI.
My understanding now, is that the green block connector coming from the original wiring is not the CDI but something to do with the gear position display? The CDI is the rectangular box mounted on the frame, under the seat, near the battery?
So i have a white 50 aspire and looking at a 110 swap, how hard are they to swap also could you send me a link of the engine you used and if you got someone else to swap
It was easy to swap in. There’s only 2 bolts that hold the engine in , I did it myself. Had to put some connectors on the wiring from the engine and tube a carb to suit. I bought a kickstart only engine in the link , but I’d recommend getting an electric start. Just about any pitbike engine should fit. www.ooracing.com/engine-110-2-valve-zongshen-manual-all-up-n-1-2-3-4-black.html
@@nitrorory oh ok, would definitely look into it in the near future, looks like it can climb up to speed alot faster and hold it
Jay Pountney it’s a different bike. You can climb any hill no problem and not hold people up.
@@nitrorory yeah im sick of having 5 cars sitting behind me 😂😂 its quite funny tho I'll be going 34 on flat and then when it get to downhill I can go 55 and sit behind them
Lol I know I hate holding people up, it’s dangerous. Lots of hills where I am so 50cc just can’t handle it
What's it do flat out? I've just bought another ybr125
About 56mph indicated. The YBR would leave it for dead lol
@@nitrorory doubt it. I've NOT seen over about 56mph flat out superman style posture
@@ZafiraSteve hahaha is it a bit tired ? Would have thought the 125 would do 65 flat out
@@nitrorory I'd not be doing 65mph on these BMX tyres
Steven H lol I agree , I don’t do high speeds on my tiny crappy tyres either. Just cruise about town and enjoy it
i'm doing the same Rory , was the wiring any problem ?
I bought an engine with the correct stator already on it so it had 2 yellow wires in the harness. If you have one yellow one white you’d have to change the stator as it wouldn’t charge the battery.
Only had to put on different connector blocks to connect it up and that’s it.
@@nitrorory the engine i bought is supposed to have the 12v stator already on it ( still in the box it came in ) i may have a problem as it is a 150cc engine , the pit bike engines were going up in price towards the end of last year, shipping costs were sighted as the reason for the price increase , so i just bought the first one that they had in stock , if i go up on the front sprocket to an 18 tooth , it should stop it pulling away too quickly and may even make first gear usable , thanks for your response , i'll let you know how i get on
@@tablet647 wow a 150cc … that’s going to be one fast lexmoto! I don’t think you’d need the gearing as long as 18tooth , that’s a lot. I think stock is 11 tooth, I went to 14t if I remember properly so many 15 or 16 would be ideal for a 150cc. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun that’s for sure
@@nitrorory it will be fun after i get it registered , and manage to get someone to insure me , i will let you know how it turns out mate
@@nitrorory just been out and checked the engine ,,2 yellow wires from the stator , and a 15 tooth front sprocket , might just leave the sprocket as it is to run the bike in ( i am waiting for a knee replacement or it would have been done a long time ago ) thanks again for your response and advice
How has the fuel consumtion changed since the swap :)?
I never really worked out the mpg to be honest , it was still cheap to run with the 110cc but not as cheap as 50cc.
From what I read a 110cc should still do like 100mpg so still a cheap way to get around ☺️
Hi have you got a link to the parts or how you done it
I used this engine www.ooracing.com/engine-110-2-valve-zongshen-manual-all-up-n-1-2-3-4-black.html you will need to order it with single phase electrics so you get 2 yellow wires in the harness. Sorry I never made a video how I swapped it but it’s only 2 bolts holding the engine in , it’s really simple.
What is you top speed now
@@lukeholland7147 it did about 50mph but acceleration was so much better
@nitrorory I can do 50 on my stock bike blud (down hill) lol
Fun fact tho the ybr is actually made in China it’s a Chinese bike but with Yamahas badging and warranty to save costs so they can sell it cheaper it’s a shit bike as well tho slower than my aprilia rs50 aha
Have you used it much since you brought it?
Yip I’ve done about 600 miles on it since I got it in the spring. 👍🏻
@@nitrorory excellent I've got a lexmoto echo and I've had it for nearly 3 years now I've done 15000 miles on it. Sure lexmoto bikes are chinise but they are top of the range chinise👍
That’s a lot of miles , good to hear you’ve managed to do so many. Has it given you many problems ?
@@nitrorory I've only had a broken speedo cable and my back tire went sadly I think my front tires on its way out too. But overall I'm very pleased with my echo I got it when I was 16 and Ive done all the maintenance on it myself. I thought I was going to get a car after a year but then I looked into car prices and fuel economy and changed my mind because I work locally I don't need to travel long journeys the echo is my only mode of transport. To be honest with you I think I've got my moneys worth out of it on the fuel alone I'm nearly 20 now and I still love my echo and don't plan on buying a car anytime soon👍
Sounds like it’s been a good scooter ! 👍🏻
How much did this cost
The bike was used at about £800 and the 110 engine was £230 ish
@@nitrorory awesome
@@nitrorory what engine did you use
@@alfiebee it’s a zongshen 110
@@nitrorory did you do the swap yourself if so was it difficult
top speed?
It did about 58mph I think.
