Ok so was bored researching into any info on the engine that comes factory with phatmoto lineup and came across a fairley well hidden page (well hidden to me anyways) it had a list of there retired or discontinued engines and well the lf-152f-3 was first on the list only difference was it had a q at the end so it was lf-1523-3q but its exactly same as whats on my bike minus gas tank and diff breatherbox.
Now maybe just maybe I dont know what Im talking about here, also maybe most of you guys already know this and its old news, also the q on the end could mean some other distinct version of the lifan 79cc to be honest I dont know all I know is what was written on that page
So with the psa (sorta) out of the way lets ponder a sec we know the motor is underpowered for what most of us want in a ride, and we also know its prob not a good idea to throw something much more powerful onto our girls for fear of breaking the frame and most likely some parts of our bodys as well, but I for one think it would be awesome to see them atleast offer 2 engines for us to choose at time of purchase, think about it, it dont make a lot of since to offer only one underpowered engine for both the rover and the all terain, AT with its slightly larger frame and larger rim and tires has to weigh more than the ROVER it has to and isnt it supposed to be made of a thicker aluminum than the ROVER, what say you guys.
