- this problem might be a worn variator-belt/rollers - the Vespa technology requires a variator-belt service every 10'000miles - contrary to the belief that the carburetor causes such trouble it is a common issue with Vespa engines that people are not doing the replacement of the variator belt in due time...

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to an e-bike category. The bike carries a lot of weight in batteries. It would be rude to ask what you weight, but it could seriously affect performance especially uphill. The bike has 4 x 12 volt batteries making it run on 48 volts. The standard batteries are rated at 8 amps. To get more pulling power, you can get an uprated 12 amp battery for more power and longer range. The manual states the batteries have a life of about 400-500 charges. I think this is optimistic.

moved you out of computers, it is not. no eBike stated, maker nor model, wow, must we work blind too.? sure in a text box blind. no question stated, only some vague words. you do know it's battery powered, right and if not kept charged it will not GO. and if charged too little , range is less. ! and all batteries have short lives, per this. and the range will decrease as you drive further, to far. the battery maker even has chart to learn this. as you stress any battery like this , the total range reduces. Just like your CELL phone same thing.

- you can do this by yourself only if you have good mechanical skills as you have to dismantle the whole dashboard/handlebar! - better you ask your vespa-shop to do it on your next service... (a LR43 button cell is needed) http://scooterbbs.net/board/DCForumID11/5766.html

No, you will have no problems at all. In fact if you ride in very wet conditions your oil will perform better than normal 2 stroke oil. But seriously though, unless you are getting the marine oil at a very good price, you could just as well use a regular good quality 2 stroke oil, it is a few cents cheaper on the normal market. Please rate this reply.

To work on an ET2 engine, there in no need to remove the body parts on a 2005 ET2 Vespa 50cc, as most maintenance tasks it can be performed without disassembling the body parts.

moved you vespa, no Shanghia here. you wired it wrong, and not only that fuses left out of cicuits. fuel + wires burning is never safe to mix so find real help in a real shop. for scooters.

Press the lid down as you try to unlock it. The jacket is probably causing the lock to bind. Please add 'make model (what it is)' to all questions. I moved from the Seat category, they are a Spanish car manufacturer. You may be talking about a mobility scooter, but Vespa has a place in my heart from the late 1960s.

A weak spark could cause this as when the throttle is opened the cylinder pressure rises sharply, the atmosphere inside becomes very dense and a much higher voltage is needed to make a spark. If it is fuel starvation then partially applying the cold start, choke or strangler should alleviate the problem somewhat; signalling you missed something when checking the fuel system.

Buy a haynes or clymer manual soon

It may be a plug for recharging the battery with a trickle charger.

check under the seat where the luggage compartment storage is

That is great price for the 2008.......The money You will save, by buying the 2008 will easily cover any problems that may arise......Vespas have a very high resale value.....I recommend an authorized Vespa dealer to perform any and all sevices to maintain the resale value.........

starter solenoid position has moved, this can happen when tightening nuts,

The brake lever also activates the brake light, their may be a break or short in that wire ( easiest check) and second guess would be the wire which activates the starter,

- first: get some starter spray and spray some in the air inlet at the air filter - then IMMEDIATELY start it. may need several trials. - second: push the Vespa in neutral some meters until you reach a certain speed and then switch from neutral to the first or second gear - then push further with some speed until it fires up the engine. you can do it best on a flat road or even better downhill....

The float pushes a needle that then stops the fuel flow make sure its not the needle thats sticking or what ever pushes on the needle is not sticking ! But if you are sure it is the float that is sticking a fine sand paper (320 ) can be used around the sides of the float to smooth down any rough bits .

Obtain the shop manual, follow the steps. Be very careful when working with fuel.
