it's probably possible, but not recommended. from what i've heard when i tried beefing up my 50cc,.. when you upgrade one part, other parts might run poorly or break because of the added strain

Probably the most cost effective way to upgrade a 50 to a 150 is to sell the 50 and use the proceeds to help pay for a good used 150 Buddy.

I thought about this briefly but then I realized I'd have to switch out the front fork assembly as well to get the bigger front brake. Figured it'd be way easier to just take all my panels and accessories and swap them onto a 150 if I ever really felt the need to upgrade to a 150.
