We have installed on brand new USA spec. Tomos mopeds full 70cc kits, 15mm
carburetor, intake manifold, HP head and exhaust and have test rode them
after being fully broken in and hit an average of 50 to 55 mph no problem
at all. The acceleration is outstanding. We can achieve rev's of 8000 to
9500+ rpm. The machine and is just winding all the way out with the stock
ignition systems. We have noticed that Tomos has substituted many different
ignition systems on there mopeds. There have been several different Irska
sealed electronic ignition systems on current mopeds. We have achieved an
average of 40 mph+ with just a biturbo exhaust system and jet upgrade on a
stock moped and a 155 LB rider. We have good results with no limitation of
RPM's from the cdi units. There is no way to cut or modify the CDI module on
the USA spec. Tomos mopeds. We did hoverer remove a CDI limiter on a Tomos
TSR 50 scooter (made in Korea) which made a substantial gain in performance.
An electronic rev limiter on mopeds could enhance stock performance because
the moped could put out full power and acceleration up to its programmed rpm
unlike the restrictive exhaust which limits overall performance and the
restrictive exhaust also contributes to a sluggish first to second gear shift
on the Tomos mopeds. Performance enthusiasts would have to change the
ignition system to exceed the preprogrammed RPM limit but a stock moped would
perform better. We would be interested if members can post your
modifications, speed and country on any 1994 and up Tomos moped. Realistic
average speeds on a flat surface would be appreciated.
