Default Giovanni pocket bikes?

Was wondering if anyone has ridden any giovanni pocket bikes?
What do you think? Are they overall good bikes?
Any opinions/reviews from someone who owns and rides one would be appreciated
thanks!

Took mine out today for the first time and it was a pretty nice ride. A bit of tweaking and itll be a sweet little bike.

Oh and you definitely cant beat the price , especially for a starter bike. Thats also something to remember tho, they are very cheap and so fairly cheaply made... you definitely need to go over everything with a wrench before and after the first ride, just to make sure its all nice and tight.

It also comes down to how well you take care of it... do a good job with keeping it well maintained and it will last you a while.

Another plus is that they are more or less copies of cags so performance parts are fairly easy to come by. Also, if you crash the thing or blow it up (cause its the first right?..) you wont be losing like $5-600, only like $100.. makes it a bit easier heh.
