lol well do this...alot of the "smaller" companies use the same engines unless it looks like a chainsaw engine then thats prollay what it is....49cc 4 stroker yes honda XR50 49cc 4 stroker 
alot of the parts are interchangable though from knock offs depending on how close the engine is....look into exhaust and carb mods 1st then go for stiffer clutches etc...i know my boy has a Blata liquid cooled 62cc (bored) it has tons of mods and itll run about 55-65 mph with him on it. They can be fun but you will get bored of it REALLY quickly. see if you can take close up pix of it so we can see the engine maybe i can help ya out.

What you need is a chopper like the one I built. It has a 6.5 horse engine and will yank my heavy butt up to 50 mph.

haha i got sumthin kinda like ur chopper Krosati. i got an old rupp bonanza with a 5 hp tecumseh on it take me up to 45 on the streets. im thinkin about makin some ape hangers for it now that i got a welder and maybe extending the forks out. but regardiung the pics of the pocket bike it should be coming in the mail sumtime next week ill be sure to post some pics of it. thanks for the help.
p.s. u guys think it would be worth puttin a bigger sprocket on it cause i know itl lose acceleration and gain to end but this bikes are tiny n w/o acceleration off the line u think it will be lame?
