Can someone please explain the difference and the mechanics in bike and scooter

[Louieprun]

motors ex30 cc and a 50cc? i recently purchased a gas powered scateboard with a 30 cc motor, and upon further research it seems that the 50 cc ones run faster, yet my board was more expensive, obviuosly its a lot nicer than the other board, but i want to know if their is a great difference, or if it will run about the same, etc... please anybody with more experience please lend light to thisa subject in which i am still an amateur, and fairly ignorant, but i am trying to learn thnks apreciate it.

The ccs is the displacement of the engine. It's a way to rate engines by size, even though they might look like different sizes.

The engine has a cylinder with a piston in it that goes up and down. The piston goes up, then the intake valve opens and the piston comes down, drawing in an amount of fuel-air mixture. The volume of that amount is the displacement of the bike, measured in ccs in most of the world.

50cc obviously is bigger than 30cc, but there are a lot of other considerations, like how stressed the motor is, how it was designed to run, etc. The 30cc engine might have higher compression or other gizmos on it that the 50 doesn't have. It might run a lot smoother. It could be geared higher so it's meant to rev up faster. Lots of variables.

And there's only so much power you can probably use on a gas-powered skateboard anyway.
