Giovanni make the lowest quality pocket bikes available. They use the lowest quality parts, including plastic pullstart, clutches, air filters, frames, pegs, exhaust etc etc.

But the bikes itself are only half the problem. The delivery & service is the other half.

Often bikes come badly damaged or with missing or defective parts. If you need a replacement part from shipping damage or "warranty" you will have to pay a "Shipping & Handling" fee to get the replacement part. This fee can sometimes be twice as much as the part really costs. It will also often take 2 - 4 weeks to get the part you need. If you need something critical like a clutch or carb, then you will be without a bike for a long long time.

Your best bet is to find a reputable dealer in your area that stocks parts and can provide you with service.
