Good deal? or prepare to be ripped off?

[Burt Munro]

Not getting my hopes up too high that this will turn into a great deal (if it sounds too good to be true it probably is?)



Guy lives about 30 miles from me and I'm picking it up Saturday so at least I got that end covered. Seller will only take cash so I need a sales receipt.  

Anybody seen these things and know of any frequent problem issues...

I haven't seen a pocket bike yet that wasn't a piece of junk.

You get what you pay for...  The high end polani (I think that's the name anyway) are imported and are about $2500 each.  They'll blow you away.

The rest of the knock-off junk is just that...  junk.

[Burt Munro]

We are talking $153 here :P

Besides, it's for my um, my ah, my 7 yr old grandson, yeah that's right.  My grandson!

Who I'm sure will graciously allow me to take it to the track!

You can get bikes like that at Pep Boys for $179.  I'd do that, rather than trust a stranger.

Yeah Tim you're right!  Guess I could check with Jeremy to see if Lowe's stocks parts for it! ;D

I've got a beat up silver one I'll sell you for $50. No questions please. ;D

[Burt Munro]

Did you find it in the woods at Road America? ;D

All black and totally stock, minus some risers for the rear, some billett pegs, and carbon fiber reeds.  8)

There a number of issues with these bikes.  I got mine last year at this time, and it runs great.  The motors on the bikes are strong, as I have ridden mine alot, and never a problem from the motor.  I am on my second rear tire, and I think that one is going to go soon.  Its cool when cords start to show on the sides of the tires.  You will have to be patient with them, as they will break every second or you will keep adjusting things all day long.  Everything around the motor will break or have to be adjusted.  However, once its been 'tuned', I never have any issues with my bike.  I would recommed the half fairing bikes, as they have always seemed to be more reliable.  Their motor mounts won't break and they are easier to work on.  I personally think the half fairing bike turns alot better, and they are smoother. If you want more info, give me your number and I'll hit you up.  Good luck
