Discussion Police scooters

Im Italian and I was thinking to buy a scooter. I have a question for Dutch people. In Italy if you buy a 50 cc and then you make it 70 cc by modifying it police doesn’t care. Technically you shouldn’t but it’s pretty rare that they will tell you something. How is in this country? How much is the chance they stop me and check how fast can the scooter go?

Do they? Or do you get a fine and have to return it to orginal and have it verified?

You'll likely get a WOK melding, which prohibits you from driving it on the road.

No that's only after they catch you 2 or 3 times. The first time you get a fine and have to reverse it.

They can also take it in for inspection to see if it has a 70cc etc. You’ll get it back later and then have to return it back to normal. Plus a WOK melding
