What can I do to make a Yamaha C-3 scooter tourqier?

[Wiley50]

OK, I love the bike and plan to camp full time with one. You can accessorize it with about 20 different trailer hitches.

I want to build a lightweight kitchen/wardrobe trailer. (aluminum frame and STARBOARD top structure. I plan a Lid that opens to my 2 burner propane stove with room for utinsels and silverware on each side, a aluminum bracket on the back with a little bitty 1250 watt generator and in front, a swing up counter with locking compartment underneath(deadbolt) with my battery charger inside, but if you push on either side inside, it slides out revealing , one one side, my medications, including lots of class 2 painkillers (morphine, fentanyl, valium (NO I"M NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO TAKE THEM AND RIDE. I'm having special adjustable reclining backrest with lumbar support. That will help a lot, but when I'm home for the day, I'm gonna be hurting bad, for about 5 minutes)that I have to guard with my life so there will be a Glock 40 cal in the other secret compartment. mounted on carrier in front of trailer (safest place I can think of) will be two propane grill tanks, one in use, one spare and a 5 gallon gas can. Two doors open on each side, below the front of thee stove is 3 shelves (food and spices on top, cookware on #2 and toaster oven and Mr Coffee on the bottom. The other side doors also have 3 shelves with clothing and other supplies.

I also have a 12 ft aluminum fishing boat and my 15 horse 4-stroke Honda or my old 6 horse evenrude two stroke. Also on an ultralite trailer (bare bones) someday. I'm leaving my 28 ft sailboat in TN. Not worth hauling to CA. Have trust fund coming due most any time to a few years, so I'm going to be there with a deal in hand on a much bigger and nicer sailboat, when I get my money I'm just going to hang around the Delta, mostly. Tour the federal parks out west with my lifetime U.S. Park Service Golden access card good for free camping and use of all facilities in any Federal Park. May head down to Slab City one winter if the place is safe.

So, the bike has a 1 year warranty and a 49.5cc sohc 3-valve engine, Auto trans and a finasl drive V-belt. That V-belt slipping I anticipate as my first problem. Perhaps weekly belt dressing to keep it sticky.

And when that tiny engine blows, I'll find some mechanic who loves hot rodding oddball vehicles.
If I have to have a part machined, replacing the V-belt with sprockets and chain or having to re-route the frame a little, I'm putting at least a 150cc engine in that baby.

Any other ideas that are not smart assed?

1. Sorry, but at 49cc I can't think of anything to make strong enough to tow even

a tiny trailer. It's not designed to carry more than a rider and a bag of groceries.

Maybe one of the mega scooters? Like Kimko or Silverwing?

2. regardless - I love my C3. I spend more time on it than on the Harley

not more miles, obviously, but more time.

3. Have you derestricted it yet?

Conventional wisdom states that all scooters have an annoying ring in the transmission that can be removed, if you know what you're doing. Most places pop it out before they're sold, though, and I don't know anything about the C3 except that they look cool.

I have two mopeds, one a nifty Hyosung 2-stroke and the other a piece of shit Taiwanese 4-stroke that I hate and want to "repair" with a crowbar. The 2-stroke hauls me and my girlfriend faster than the 4-stroke hauls just me--until the long legs of the 4 take over above 30 mph on steep hills (which is totally useless since the speed limit for these bikes is never above 35 in any state). But the Hyo blew a CDI and it seems I'll never have the $90 I need for a new one.

The one saving grace of the 4-stroke is that it also happens to have a 150cc version, with which it shares all mounts, the transmission, and most other parts, so it has the potential for a 300% performance increase relatively easily. But it's a turd and I hate it. It's such a piece of shit that I kicked the starter out of the transmission case. The electric start still works great whenever I don't actually need to use the bike. When I do, it won't start.
