I like the Everstart brand from Wal Fart. I think they sell one that fits the Buddy 125, not sure about the 50cc. Keep in mind about a core charge. Its at $18 dollars at the Wal for the Zuma battery. Not sure how that works mail order.

I recommend getting the highest amp hour rating you can find that will fit in the compartment. The stock 3 amp hour battery is pathetic.

I have this 8 amp hour battery in the Black Jack. Not saying it's the best, but it's much better than stock.

Also, consider doing the battery box mod to allow for a slightly taller battery.

Save your money and buy this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Bat ... Sw4CFY6C1B

1/3 the cost of the others. Fine battery. You have a kickstart anyway.
