New Bike X15 or X18 - Page 2 - PocketBikeForum.com

Admin · 08-05-2006, 10:02 PM

I don't have any bikes, although I've sold dozens and there's none that fit me other than the bigger bikes. I was considering buying one but haven't done it yet.

Good luck with the bike if you do get one, and please let us know their quality.

Yo,
I highly recommend the X15 (also known as the GS57 to some). The X18 and the X15 are the same bike, but the X18 is street legal in most states. I like the X15's styling better though. Anyway check this link, click on either video. The fat dude on the red bike is doing mass wheelies on the X15/ GS57 cause of its good torque. Those things launch off the line fast. My friend has one, and you can actually lean hard into a turn and they handle AWESOME. No speed woble or anything. But order from a good site, cause some sites send straight from manufacturer without even looking at them. The clutch is a common problem on the X18. Anyways, check the link:

they look good.

how much does it cost to register/insure? legal in canada?

SupraMan666 · 08-16-2006, 10:01 PM

I have no idea how much insurance is, but it's probably insane cause of the high risk of an accident, the fact it's small, etc. I don't know if they would be legal in Canada, cause I'm in Virginia.

Alright, well I'd pick the X18. I guess me and SupraMann666 have different views but personally, I like the X18 better (in basically all aspects). How could you resist that killer design. Both pocketbikes are about the same speed but as far as I know, the X18 is a few mph faster. I am Canadian and unfortunatley it's likely you won't be able to register it with the goverment or get a licence plate 4 it. I don't know how the X18 compares with the X15 in terms of torque but I'm guessing it's simular. My biggest problem is finding someone who ships to Canada. I haven't found anybody so far. Could you guys supply me with a few good links for places that ship to canada if you find any?

I've been looking for a X18 and I live in canada. I've come across alot of site that sell them but they don't ship to canada. I might just have to go and pick it up. oh ya and buyer beware, if you want a manual transmition. watch, alot of the ones in canada are automatic, read description closely

I've said this before about a million times. THE AUTOMATIC ONES AREN'T X18's! The automatic ones are the X22. The three MAIN bikes out now are the X15, X18, and the X22. The X22 is the same company and evrything. Different stickers don't mean jack shiggedy. However, yes the X22 is automatic, whilst the X15 and X18 are both a 4-speed.

Also, the X15 and the X18 are almost the same. The older X18 (the striped ones) have the same engine as the X15, but the newer X18 (silver and watev two tone) have switched engine manufacturer. But i think the X15 is now also using the new engine, as is the X22.

see theres a problem with the X18 and X15's and what not... you can't get them in canada

SupraMan666 · 10-05-2006, 10:17 PM

Giavanni sold the X12 in canada, but i believe they stopped for a while. The x12 is pretty sweet. semi-auto 4 speed clutchless, 110cc engine, and its a LOT lighter than the newer X bikes. It's almost fully race preped already, cept for the restrictive exhaust

Festivawes · 10-20-2006, 11:16 PM

i am also leaning towards the x-18/19

They are street legal in the states...you have to register them....anything under 50cc is concidered a regular bicycle, and you done need a license or registration, but i wouldn't be caught on a main road with one.

I personnaly had a friend who was 17 at the time that drove a 49cc chopper to work at wal-mart everyday and never got pulled over or hassled

that was his only transportation

If the gearing is weak you can always make the front gear larger for added acceleration
