        Have you found anything to derestrict the scooter?

        The Aerox has a physical restrictor in the form of a washer in the front pulley which stop the two sides closing together and increasing the radius of the pulley. If you remove this washer (plenty of guides on the internet) the variator can close up, form a larger pulley and have better gearing for speed when the engine output is at higher revs.

        There’s potentially also restriction in the exhaust – if you’re not willing to chop and weld it yourself then you should look for a used “tuning” exhaust as a shop will charge more than a second hand part is worth to complete the work.

    Hi daniel, first and most thank for all the information given, very helpful.
    I just bought a honda nsc50r similar to the vision model. It is a 50cc 4t and it is CDI Restrited !!! A nightmare!!!! The CDI is a black box with 33 pins and i have expended sooooo much time trying to get a derestricted one online but there is nothing out there!!! I am quite desperate about it it is so unsafe 28mph!!!! I am hoping that you know some website where they sell this.

    Thanks a lot!!

    Ive hired a pcx 125 in Thailand and it never goes above 98kph uphill or downhill

    the power stops everytime until it goes below 98 or bounces around if the throttle is kept open – because there’s no variation in when this happens it seems like its been restricted in some way

    So I have a 2014 ice bear 50cc trike. I have replaced some parts with aftermarket in hopes of reaching a decent speed. So far it includes : air filter, rejetted carb, plug wire, and a racing cdi box. For some reason I STILL don’t gain any speed going down hill. Is there another restriction that can cause this besides the box? My next hope is the variator ring but I haven’t gained any speed. Just boosted acceleration

    I have Peugeot Django Sport 50cc 4T scooter and we try to find solution to
    unrestricted it.
    We didn’t find any restrictors from the variator etc.
    So CDI is restricted.
    Our django CDI box is 6pin + extra wiring for variator. Cdi have number QP5-45 D50-LK39 5A1
    Can you help us in this case, where to find unrestricted cdi or is it same with some other model?

    Thank you for posting a good article about the subject nevertheless I’m still stuck with my problem. Maybe someone fro you guys know the solution for my scooter. It is SYM Mio 50cc 2008 4 stroke carburetor I believe it has restricted cdi for sure I just can;t find replacement. Planet racing offers original restricted cdi and not any unrestricted. I know it is possible to take unrestricted chineese cdi and somehow swap the wireing but I have no idea which and how. I kindly thank you for any help in advance.

      But a new CDI unit off eBay. Look at your CDI and find one with the same connector and simply put it in. Make sure to keep the old CDI just incase the new one doesn’t work for some reason. Another thing you can do is up jet the carb. If you really want you could get a bore kit put on it as well

    So I really need to get it over 27ish MPH it is dangerous with nothing to give me on speed. Please help me with what to do “how to do it” I am pretty good with a spanner so what can I do? CDI, Variator, Carb?

    i have a taotao powermax 150, and i was made aware that it was only supposed to go about 55 to 60. however, my cdi box was modified to where the speed restrictor cable was cut, no other mods than that that ive seen after a year of riding it, and it now goes somewhere between 70 and 80. i can easily pass cars that are going at least 50, and recently ive gotten a bit more brave and found out that it can power wheelie about an inch. so i dont know if the cdi was restricted before, or if the world has lied to me about how fast 150s go lol

    i have a 2000 Suzuki UX50 Zillion and its restricted (it wont go past 47km/h)
    the aiurbox is not a restriction because there is a sport filter installed
    any tips on where could be a restriction on that bike?
