150cc Carter Buggy
Hello! Mike & Rachel here, Glad to be new members!
We just got a 150cc Carter Talon. (for our 10 yr old son! haha) Supposedly it sat for a year or two because the starter went out. (looks brand new!) We fixed that, replaced the accelorator cable, battery, electric choke... So much fun in the snow on Christmas day, spent a full day riding several kids New Years eve, and then (small) rock climbing & mud riding for hours another day. It runs great, in whatever gear its in, when the lever is pushed forward- but it doesnt go that fast. We were told that it has 3 forward gears & reverse, that we should be changing the gears, etc.. but it seems to only have one gear & be automatic, with reverse. It pulls better in reverse than forward- could it be stuck in a higher gear? Anyone here have a 2005 Talon? Also the parts Ive ordered so far havent matched up exactly to the original Carter parts for it. Any suggestions on parts that will replace theirs? We love this buggy! Any suggestions or input would be SO appreciated.

I dont think it has 3 forward gears. It has a forward gear and reverse. It has a CVT transmission which gives it low range through high range. Reverse will have more torq and low speed. How fast do you think it goes in forward?

foward &reverse only reverse is basicly 3 to 1 ratio foward is 1to1 ratio so it feels more
powerful in reverse you can change the weights in your varitor for move low end power or more top end in my gy6 based {150cc} i run 12g sliders & yellow {1500} clutch spring makes a lot of difference

Yeah, we now realize its the CVT transmission.
Its got a little power to it. I guess it goes 35-40 mph on the street. I think we'll be upgrading soon. We've gotten some very helpful information here. (Thanks yall!) Where do we find these parts? |
