CF Moto 150i e-charm acceleration vibration
 
When I accelerate from a stand still, the scooter vibrates very bad, once it gets moving it accelerates very smoothly. I have a top end speed of ~65 mph. I have had this problem since the scooter was new and it now has 3,000 miles. I assumed it was a bad clutch, but someone mentioned replacing the rollers. I understand how a warped clutch outer housing could cause the problem, but I don't know enough about how the rollers work to know if this could be the problem. Could anyone give me some advise and/or explain what type clutch or roller issues I should be considering?
Thanks

If your rollers get flat spots on them, they dont seem to work as well.
Myself, I'd get new rollers, they are cheap, a new belt, they are cheap, and once your under the covers, blow out your clutch with a good air nozzle, you'll be amazed all the dust that comes out of it, well it did on mine anyway.
Good luck.

Someone told me to give it more throttle at take off. I try it, and the vibration is much less. All along I thought the more I the throttle at take off, the smoother it would be. How do I know what size rollers to buy?
Thanks

I am currently on the road, without access to parts, so I tore the drive apart and checked the rollers, they looked in great shape, I also used some fine sand paper on the clutch shoes and the clutch outer housing. The scooter seems much smoother on initial acceration. I had sanded the clutch before and it only helped for a half dozen rides. I will let you know how I make out. Thanks

I simply always used the numbers on the tag thats fastened to the frame of my scooters,, when I seek parts at the various part houses.
But I also try and use one of our sponsers if possible.
