Here is a chart of the stock sizes and weights for all the common types of motor scooters.
Note: Both “Roller Weight” and “Weight Roller” are widely used for the same stuff. In the article below or other articles throughout our website, you may see both names.
The best weight or the roller weights varies depending on the of tuning, the weight of the driver, and of course the preference of the driver. People may do several experiments with different weights of roller weights to find out the one that works best for their needs, either for acceleration or maximum speed.
“What’s the correct weight that I shall choose?” is the most asked question. However, since everyone has different riding style, everyone can have different preference.
For example, if rider A chooses a weight to enjoy a powerful acceleration, rider B might think it too aggressive and rather to have a smoother start-up. It’s kind of personal when choosing weights, so there isn’t one correct answer for all.

Even so, you can still follow this simple rule to choose the weight for your scooter:
Lighter to accelerate, Heavier to higher top-end.
That is, if you choose a weight lighter than the stock one, you can have more initial acceleration; and if you choose a heavier one, you can have higher top-end speed than the original setting. If you are new to the world of scooter tuning, we will recommend you start from the weights close to the stock weights, either lighter or heavier. Once you tried one and felt the difference, you can then start from there.
We also offer Roller Weight kits that let you experiment with various different weights.
