what is it? E-ton 90?
I recently bought what I was told was an E-ton 90 to teach the kids on. Since have bought a Yamaha 4-zinger 60 because the "90" seems a little big. Actually, it seems a lot big. Guy told me it was approximately a 1990, 90 cc E-ton. But he didnt know anything about it, bought it at an estate sale or soemthing. He said he shifted the plastics around and bolted them down to make them fit better, but they still look too small. I thought maybe the plastics came from a smaller E-ton? It does say E-ton on the plastics, but they dont come anywhere near extending over the rear tires, unless there should be additional flares or something on the back? No manufacturers name or model I can find anywhere. I coldn't even find any pictures to compare, but now that I think about it I'm going to try another place to look for comparison pics.
Never had one, but I am amazed at what this thing will do. WIth a 50lb kid on the front, 235 lb dad on the back, manual thottle adjustment almost all the way in, and in first gear, this thing feels incredibly strong. To the point where I question if it might be something bigger, like a 125? Where can I look for engine cc or manufacturer stuff? I did find a VIN on the front frame crossbar. This machine has a 3 speed semi-auto, reverse which works off a pull switch and heel shift. And it's a 4 stroke.
It doesn't look that great, the plastic was blueish-purple but some kid painted it black, which is starting to come off. But it starts, runs and drive just incredible, and once Iget the older kid up to speed, it should take a long time for them to outgrow it. Which is a concern about getting a tiny machine.

OK, so I finally found a picture online of an Eton 90, dont know what year it is but the platic looks very similar. There is actually supposed to be a big black plastic fender flare wrapping around th back of the rear fenders, which is why the plastic looks too short for my machine. I think there was some on the back of the front fenders too which have been cut off. Have to tell the kids to keep their feet away from the front tires. Should probably attach something there to keep the mud from flying straight at them.

The plastic was a cool bluish-purple before somebody painted it black, which is half worn off. Might try to remove the black paint.
It has a a series of green lights under the handlebars, 3-2-1-N-R. Reverse works by pulling up a **** right above the lights, then heel shifting the foot shifter. Plastic does say Eton under the paint.
Man this thing runs the nuts.
