    I have a tuk-tuk with a Lifan 150CC,I've been clocked at 45mph on a straightaway in 5th gear@10,500 rpm..And I carry alot of weight since it is enclosed.
    I'm in the process of putting Nitrous on it,I'll let you know how that goes,so far I only ahve purge.
    I have an album full of pic's with engine pic's in it.
    Mine was imported direct from Lifan China,and they are one of the biggest companies over there...The motor has held up in the few month's I have had it great.I wouldn't trust anything they welded or bolted together though...I'm still going through tightening and replacing bolt's on it..
    I've been looking at the 200cc to see if I can swap the cylinder or something to up mine since they look to be the same engine/spec's..
    I knew it was similar to honda,are they the same mounting wise also??I would like to keep a 5 speed trans though..
    Here some pic's/video so you know what a Tuk-Tuk is and get an idea of the weight that I pull with the 150cc
