Lifespan of a 33cc scooter?

its a small 33cc chinese sit down mo-ped, i mix it 20-1 and i am well aware how to break it in properly, i also replaced all the bolts with 8 grade and lock washers, the only thing i have ever seen go wrong with these mopeds is the motor mounts and bolts breaking, so if i mix it right and dont over rev it, and take it easy how long will the little 2 stroker run? its the same engine as a weed trimer and our weed trimer has been runing for 10+ years now, also the gearbox? it seems solid and i plan to change the transmition fluid every 3 months or so(the web site recomends every year) its this exact scooter here, http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00svyQkiLHhEbPM/Gas-Scooter-JX-GS001-.jpg



im 230lbs and its rated for 220lbs max but still pulls me around, so what is there to go wrong with it? i would think not to much, maybe flat tires or worn out chain, air filters and transmition fluid, the tranny gears could ware out and so could the clutch, anyways how long should it run? thanks guys,Lifespan of a 33cc scooter?
I am surprised a moped has a clutch to burn up unless it centrifugal.



2 strokers run for a long time as long as you mix it right every time. The plugs get fouled. The don't like to run at lower RPMs......2 strokes like to run at higher RPM's, but on a 33cc bike I can't imagine going must lower than redline.



Your question sounds more like a testimonial or something. If you like it then keep on ridin it. It's probably a lot of fun.Lifespan of a 33cc scooter?
You seem to be knowledgable about this, but I have to say a 33cc is usually only good for about one riding season, mostly due to it's tiny engine. They just wear out. If you want to keep it running longer, try a more robust mix--say 15/1. Good luck!
