Depends on what you want and expect. If you will be satisfied with the slow off the line performance of the Spree and a top speed of 40 mph max with a 35 mph cruise then fine mod the Spree motor.

If you expect blinding acceleration and a 60 or more mph top end, then go Dio.

If you want something in between then consider swapping in a much more plentiful and cheaper variated AF05 motor.

Greetings:

What Bear said.

A healthy, kitted SE/05 is good for an easy 45 and will run that speed all day.
The Dio swap and all the fixin's will result in a scooter that can routinely exceed 55. Stock Spree brakes and front tires shouldn't.
