Scooter Racer BWS RC50QT-6X (blue) 4-stroke volume 49.5 cc. cm.

What is the difference between a scooter and a motorcycle? One of the qualities is lightness. The scooter is easier to maintain, more maneuverable on the road, and does not require registration (however, this can be argued if you do not plan to ride only in your own yard). The owner of such a vehicle will name a couple more parameters.

Another plus is the price. If you don’t stop at the super-promoted model, you can conclude that a scooter is cheaper than a bike. But you won’t go as far on it as on a good motorcycle. If you still make your choice not in favor of a bike, we recommend paying attention to the Racer scooter. The company is young, but this does not mean that its vehicles are of poor quality. But we’ll try to figure out what they are by looking at the technical parameters of several models, as well as reviews from users who have already purchased such a scooter.

About company

Racer is one of the trademarks of the large Chinese concern Jiangsu Sinski Sonik Motor Technology Co. Ltd, which produces motorcycles. The company is relatively young - the date of creation is considered to be 1989. Initially, the brand was considered one of the areas of the main concern, but in 2006 a separate division was allocated for it. Scooters are far from the only type of product of the new plant. The Racer label also produces motorcycles, bicycles and, of course, accessories (helmets, jackets, etc.). Having its own plant allows the company to produce over 100 thousand units of vehicles per year.

The company's products appeared in Russia a couple of years after separation from the main concern. At first it was children's bicycles, then - all other equipment. Any model of the Racer rc50qt scooter, meeting all world standards of quality and motorcycle fashion, is distinguished by its own unique design. Another advantage is that the Chinese plant produces not only finished cars, but also original components. Over the 10 years of its existence, the plant’s equipment has become widespread.

Lupus and Corvus models. What common?

These models are also comparable to each other because they have common characteristics, pros and cons. They share a common design that sets them apart from the rest. Of particular note are the foot recesses at the front. Thanks to this, you can comfortably stretch your legs, which is especially useful over long distances. But this design does not provide adequate protection from dirt and wind. The Stealth Tactic scooter also has a similar design.

The Racer Lupus scooter, like the Corvus, has a significant drawback: frequent destruction of the plastic lining. This is due to the design: the driver's seat is mounted directly on the plastic. The models are aimed at drivers of average height. Their floor level is too high. Therefore, if you sit on the seat, it is difficult to reach the ground with your feet.

Another nuance is the weakened front telescopic fork. It also has a large angle of inclination. Therefore, there are frequent cases of feathers being bent when falling into a hole.

general description

Let's start by looking at the main characteristics that the regular Racer 50 scooter has.

• Any vehicle starts with an engine. The number 50 in the names of most scooters indicates the engine capacity in cubic meters. cm. You can’t squeeze out more power with such a motor, but does the scooter need it?
• An electric starter allows you to start the engine by pressing a button on the dashboard. But you can run it in another way. The difference between scooters of this brand is that you can start them even if the battery is dead. Instead of the usual starter for such vehicles, the Chinese installed a kick starter. If the battery is dead, the engine starts with the pedal, like on a motorcycle.

• The presence of an automatic transmission on a scooter will hardly surprise anyone, and the variator, which is also supplied on it, will allow you to accelerate smoothly, without jerking, and maintain speed well.
• The volume of the fuel tank on the Racer reaches five to seven liters. But with a fuel consumption of 2 liters per 100 km, you can travel more than 200 km at one filling station.
• The Chinese put drum brakes on both wheels. This variety does not break down from dust and dirt and is suitable for driving even in rural areas. Models with engine capacity greater than 50 cc. cm basically get a disc brake on the front axle, which gives smoother braking compared to the drum type. The presence of such brakes indicates a more serious class of the model.
• Other features of such a scooter are standard for this class: rear-view mirrors on the sides of the dashboard, a trunk with a key under the saddle. And unlike its older brother, the motorcycle, the scooter has a relatively light weight.

Now let's look at several models in more detail.

Technical characteristics of Racer Enduro 150

After your first ride on the Racer Enduro 150, you can’t help but feel like you’ve already ridden this motorcycle before. Probably the fact is that it is very similar to many other Chinese bikes in the same class. But is that bad? A classic steel frame with a short wheelbase, a bit of plastic body kit, a 1-cylinder 2-valve air-cooled engine , a carburetor (Japanese, by the way!), gearbox-5 , spoked wheels - that’s all, in general. The Racer Enduro 150 engine produces 11.2 hp. at around 8500 rpm , simultaneously generating a lot of vibrations, and at the bottom it pulls weakly, but already from 3000 rpm good dynamics appear. The maximum speed is 95 kilometers per hour . Braking is handled by simple disc brakes front and rear, which are quite effective considering the weight of the motorcycle. But the motorcycle got the simplest suspension: a telescopic fork at the front and a classic monoshock absorber at the rear.

Apparently, when designing the Racer Enduro RC150 GY, Chinese engineers thought as follows - this is an off-road motorcycle, and it should be as light as possible to make it easier to handle. If so, then they achieved their goal - the Enduro Racer 150 weighs only 99 kg , and subjectively it does not seem heavy at all. True, in pursuit of weight reduction, the Chinese deprived the bike of its normal power reserve. The gas tank holds only 6 liters of gasoline, which, of course, is enough for driving, but still, off-road, the engine’s appetite increases sharply. However, on asphalt it fits 2.5-3 liters of AI-92 per hundred kilometers.

Model Meteor

And the first representative will be the Racer Meteor scooter. All of the above fully applies to this model. We can also add that this class is distinguished by its striking appearance, good safety (as far as possible on a scooter) and, with a relatively low dead weight, can lift a load of up to 150 kg. It should be noted that this class comes with drum brakes and a heavy-duty shock absorber at the rear.

Let's look at the basic data using the example of the Racer Rc50qt-3 Meteor model. Note that these are the factory settings:

• The 4-stroke engine (the company’s own development) installed on this scooter has a volume of 49.5 cc. cm and develops a power of 3.9 liters. With.
• The maximum speed is kept silent by the developers. But, according to official information, this scooter will be able to reach more than 50 km/h, which is the “ceiling” for most of these vehicles.
• Own weight – 78 kg.
• Fuel tank volume – 4.3 l; consumption – 2 liters per 100 km.
• A question that interests many owners is the oil filter. In this model it is located in the engine.
• We also note a regular 12 V battery rated at 3 ampere hours.
• Wheels - 13 inches.
• Note that this model comes in 6 colors, versus the usual 4. However, there is no white or black option.

In general, according to information from official circles, Meteor is being made slightly lighter. Whether such a unit is needed - the buyer must decide for himself. Note that the described model can sometimes be seen on sale under the name Racer 3 scooter.

Stells

This scooter also has an identical 4-stroke engine, but the rest of the parameters will be more powerful. The model is considered more serious, so the brakes are different.

It is worth noting that the weight of this model will be larger – 103 kg.

• A disc brake is installed on the front axle and a drum brake on the rear; both axles have reinforced shock absorbers.
• The battery lasts 7 hours.
• Tank – 6 liters with a consumption of 2.2 liters per 100 km.
• The remaining parameters are unchanged.

This is what the Racer Stells scooter looks like. It should be noted that sometimes the unit may have a different engine, but its volume is indicated by numbers in the model name. Very often it is mentioned in reviews that 50 cubes is not enough for comfortable movement. Therefore, the next model we will consider will have three times the engine capacity.

Comparison of Stells and Taurus models

These two models have the largest dimensions and are suitable for tall drivers. Of these, Stells has a lower maximum load compared to Taurus. Therefore, if you are planning trips with adult passengers, it is better to give preference to the latter. Both scooters have good ground clearance.

Due to their large dimensions, these machines have a lot of weight (109 kg for Stells and 111 kg for Taurus). A 50cc engine cannot quickly pull that much weight. Naturally, the dynamics leave much to be desired. Driving on tight, deep banked turns can also be difficult due to the heavy weight. Scooters can slide in front.

Dragon 150

The main difference between the model we will consider is engine size. Thanks to this, it is classified as a large machine, which is classified as the Racer 150 scooter. The engine in this unit is also 4 stroke, but its volume is 149.5 cubic meters. cm.

• A larger engine can reach higher speeds. The developers indicate 85 km/h. The declared power is 8.7 liters. With.
• As in the lower series, the battery here has a 7 ampere-hour capacity.
• The tank volume was 7 liters. Fuel consumption has also almost doubled – 3.4 liters per 100 km.
• The brakes are disc and drum, front and rear, respectively.
• The main highlight of this model is the shockproof headlights. Other parameters include two reinforced shock absorbers at the rear and one at the front. There is a spacious trunk under the saddle and space for a nice large trunk. This is one of the few models with LED optics.

This scooter also has large 16-inch wheels, versus 13 inches on models with a smaller engine capacity.

Pros and cons of Racer Enduro 150

Advantages

• Ease of operation . The Racer Enduro 150 steers not just easily, but very easily.
• Light weight . It also makes a positive contribution to handling.
• Confident traction in most of the rev range, except at the very bottom and at the very top.
• Vigorous dynamics.
• Excellent ability to overcome light off-road conditions .

Flaws

• Parasitic vibrations at high speeds.
• Small fuel tank volume.
• Prickly and quite fragile plastic , which most often is not able to survive a fall.
• Primitive suspensions without full adjustments.
• Poor quality steering wheel metal . If you fall, the steering wheel can easily be bent.

Flame 125

This model is not the flagship version, but will be of interest to those who think that 50 cubes is not enough for comfortable movement. The scooter has a 125cc 4-stroke engine. cm. Power is 7.6 liters. s., declared speed – 85 km/h.

• LED optics and two reinforced rear shock absorbers are the same as those of the Dragon flagship.
• Disc brakes are located at the front, drum brakes at the rear.
• Weight is 93 kg, wheels are 12 inches.
• The battery is rated at 7 ampere hours.

What do Racer scooter models have in common?

All models have a number of characteristics that are the same for all. These include:

• four-stroke air-cooled engine;
• automatic transmission with V-belt variator;
• starting is carried out using an electric and kick starter;
• electromechanical instrument panel;
• telescopic front fork (only Racer Meteor has a lever front fork);

• rear drum brake, front disc brake (except for Meteor, which has two drum brakes);
• cast aluminum wheels (on Meteor - stamped from steel).

In addition to the same characteristics, the models differ in design, dynamic features and wheel diameter.

Dashboard

Before moving on to the reviews, it is worth noting the information content of the dashboard that each Racer scooter receives from the developers. In addition to the starter button, the panel contains the following components:

• signal button;
• watch;
• battery charge indicator;
• fuel sensor;
• speedometer.

With the small size of the dashboard on such a vehicle, all the most necessary data is present.

Reviews

Let's see what people who have already bought a Racer scooter say. Reviews are very different. There is a lot of talk about bad (thin) plastic. It is not recommended to constantly drive at maximum speed, but this can be said about any engine. When driving in city mode, the car can handle 60 km/h. Some write that they squeezed out even 75.

Many people mention the price, and, compared to Japanese models, it is 4-5 times lower. The reviews about the 50cc engine are a little unclear. On the one hand, the scooter drives quite normally in the city cycle, on the other hand, it crawls like a turtle. To ride alone, you need to choose a unit with a motor of at least 70, and if there are two of you, then this figure should exceed 100. At the same time, it is worth remembering that this is China. And although the company is young, you should not forget about it. The developers themselves claim that these scooters are assembled according to all European quality standards and are not much inferior to models produced, for example, in Spain. There are interesting opinions about the renovation. While it is easier to find original spare parts for a Racer scooter, original parts for a Japanese scooter are expensive, and in the end we also install China.

And a little more about refueling. Experts recommend refueling in the garage, and not directly at the station, because of the tricky neck on Chinese scooters, where fuel must be poured in a thin stream.

Reviews from owners of Racer Enduro 150

A clear vehicle for driving through forests and fields, light, peppy, and rides confidently even on wet ground. Among the jambs are the gaps between the plastic elements, and the assembly as a whole, it feels like the moto was assembled on the knee and by eye. The original chain stretched into meat a couple of thousand km away, I installed a new one and forgot about it. The carb was replaced under warranty. Otherwise everything is fine, I only drive off-road, I change the oil by the hour. Arseny, Moscow region, Racer Enduro 150 '2015.

I didn’t expect anything special from an entry-level endurik, but in the end I got what I thought. Although the Racer 150 Enduro can probably be called a cross bike rather than an enduro bike, the moped is really not for travel, but for fun. In general, I like everything, not without minor problems, but for such a price it’s ok. Igor, Tyumen, Racer Enduro 150 '2016.

I drive a Hornet 600, I took the racer for the dacha and off-road. I bought it second-hand at half price with a mileage of 5,000 km and broken plastic, but with fresh new tires and a tuned piston for 170 cc. It's a funny toy, it's a smart mover, it's fun to ride. True, you can’t drive it much in winter, there’s not enough power - it buries itself in the snow, but in the warm season it drives calmly even through deep mud. There were no serious damage. Stanislav, Moscow, Racer Enduro 150 '2017.
