Hi Phillip
Welcome aboard
Pleased to meet you
What types of roads and use will the scoot have to handle?
A stock 4 stroke 50 can reach speeds of 30 to 40 mph. a stock 2 stroke 50 can achieve speeds of 45 to 50+mph
I always recomend a 2 stroke if its a 50cc scoot you want to ride
I have a stock 2 stroke the Aprilia sr 50 and a 95 cc 4 stroke bbk project scoot
The aprilia is still a quicker and faster scoot in stock form then the 4 stroke scoot with all of the added performance parts and tuning
My top speed with the 2t aprilia 63 mph, the 4t redstreak bbk scoot 55mph

Take care and ride safely
Yours Hank
