[david_bmx]

Ok i saw thease on ebay and i was wondering if they are a ok bike. If you have had one or have one please post any comment on it, i just want one to fool around on it on some pavement so i am not all for speed just fun :bigpimp:

[Kobe]

I got one, my starter broke, just got it replaced...


It's a fast little bike... I paid $350 with shipping for the bike...


I think its well worth the money... and now race city in calgary has a track every second tuesday for them :D

[youngbex]

ahaha the best toy ever..


Anyways i just got back from a cruise around Signal hill, it was sweeett....


Buyyy oneee

[spidermang]

ok, so I just bought one of those pocket bikes off of ebay and yes it is fun to rip around the neighbourhood provided there's no cops around, but I don't have anyone to ride with and that can get real lame real fast. anyone wanna hook up for a quick rip somewhere? I was thinking maybe chapparal or cranston or some other new community where the roads are built but the houses are not.

Anyone?... anyone?...

They have a nice bike path down there, but the people might get a little mad...

[youngbex]

you guys should put togeather a pocket bike gang:bigpimp:

[Phy]

^Hehehe

Terrorizing the neighborhood on wee little bikes

[-KiTtY- boo]

they already have a pocket bike gang in the NE...

[david_bmx]

so they are ok bikes can the actully do 0-40mph in 4 sec? or is that bull? i think i am going to get one to rip around, are the engine good or not so good? any on rebuild them? or have any of you woren 1 out, Real sorry for spelling, its not my falt :barf:

[Kobe]

Takes a lot longer then 4 seconds... If your 120lb's you will acclerate and go faster then if your 240lb's

What do you mean engine good or not so good???

I havn't had any problems with the engine so far...

[theken]

i cant get mine to start, i rode it once now it wont start again im confused

[Kobe]

yah, was tired haha

[youngbex]

after i oay off my bike, i might get a pocket bike:bigpimp:

[david_bmx]

i got to start saving up i am going to try and get on for 350 i really want one. are u allowed to drive them in parking lots? and what octain gas are u guys using ?

[schurchill39]

No your not allowed to drive them in parking lots... well you can until you get caught. They are not street legal its just like a go cart you cant drive those in the city. I do belive its a pre mixed gas and oil isnt it. In that case just regualr gas should work

[Kobe]

You need to use High Octane Gas.. 91 should work fine..

its a 25:1 Ratio

[youngbex]

ims ure the cops wont mind if your driving around in a parking lot, jsut as long as you arent being retarted

[eclipse00]

If you guys goto groundpilots.com theres a pocket bike forum there. Lots of good info and quite a few peeps to ride with.

[Chester]

hmm i think im gonna buy one of these. Kobe, who did you buy it off of on ebay.

[Chester]

whoa i was just looking at those giovanni bikes and they look pimp

[david_bmx]

Ya i dont no. i want one but they are a bit much for me now, i have other hobbys so i dont no and i am just a kid

[Kobe]

welll for the super bikes, the really nice super bikes they were $16300 and the ones just below that (that would be the slower ones Chester was talkin about) there goin for $1000 i think, didnt really pay attension cause they were only 49cc... then the little ones were goin for about $500

[lookingforwork]

And you are going to buy one or no? Someone on here should do a group buy on these!!!!!!

[GMDee]

For anyone who doesn't know, there's a place on elbow just before you hit anderson (going south on elbow) that sellls mini-bikes, quads, choppers etc. can't remember what its called though...

~Dangerous~

[-KiTtY- boo]

i want to buy one, but im still debatiing b/w buyin the bike or spending that money on my car... and so far it looks like my car is winning the votes

its not really worth it.. casue each one on its own is $500.... besides most of us have the 49c ones already... i want the 110c ones now

[lookingforwork]

Ya i know i thought it would be a better deal. doesn't seem like anyone on here wants to sell there 49cc....but ya just thought it was an idea...wouldn't that be the cheapest in calgary so far $375.00?

[Kobe]

got mine for 350.. shipped to my door...

I don't understand the juvenile attraction to these things. I know someone who got one, I took it for a rip, after about two minutes I was bored. Then the real funny thing to me is people who want to mod them? Its just a fad, and will fizzle out shortly. Do you think the shriners look cool in their mini cars, that is what you guys look like on your mini bikes, rediculous. There are just other things that seem like more fun................like real bikes.

I'm gunna take a while guess.....

Do you own a house?

If so, i can bet you are one of the people that just keep bitching and bitching if you see one near your house. becuase, your life sucks..

A pocket Bike is $350, while a real bike is $10,000 and I'm sure lots of people have the real thing aswell..

Why would we mod them? Man who wouldn't want an extra 2HP from all the NOZZZZ stickers, come on...


Its a fucken toy.... OO well, it rips fast.. you need to just relax man...

[Moe Man]

yo man does anyone no a place that fixes these things, i lost some of my barings and i need a place that can fix it

[lookingforwork]

I can sell these now...cool...but i bought one for myself and i have to sit on the back fairing just to feel have decent on the bike.
