Thumbs up New pocketbike, just need some help.

Hey guys, I just created an account a few minutes ago.

I have been saving up my money for a while now, for nothing in particular. So I thought I would get something that I would enjoy, eg. a pocket bike. I don't want to shell out the money for one of the fancy ones, with the big engines and electric starters, I'm just seaching for a barebone bike. After looking eBay for a while I came accross <a href="http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-47cc-HIGH-COMP-POCKET-BIKE-RED-FREE-SHIPPING_W0QQitemZ130131943433QQihZ003QQcategoryZ9 0985QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">this sellar.</a> and the bike in picture. It perfectly suited me, just the stuff I needed. But it seemed too cheap, price wise. Also putting into consideration the "extra parts" and free shipping that come along with it.

I checked out the buyers feedback and it all looks positive, I just thought I would consult people who know what they are talking about before I follow through with the puchase.

Feedback would be great,

Thanks in advance.

first off i would like to say welcome to the forum. And secondly that is your typical cag 45 kph. LOTS OF FUN! find an organization in your area and have a hoot. I would reccomend getting a cag but they always have your typical cag problems (dirty carb, fowled plug, this and that) but very easy to maintain.

i looked at those to but i really don`t like the tires , i don`t want slicks, i like to have some grip when i ride just in case i hit some sand, dirt little wet pav,etc. ,those tires are only good for clean,dry pavement or cement and those tires wear out rather quickly

may i interrupt i had my cag tires for 2 years. Also slicks are a lot better when you are racing you get more traction than the treadded ones

yes you may interupt,no problem, i also know 5 or 6 guys that bought cags with those tires and the wore them out in like 2 days.for those who don`t race who ride in lots etc like(to which they told me) treaded tires.to each is own just giving my opinion along with other fellow riders opinions.if they would sell them with good slicks like sava that would be different

depends ........ buddy gearing ......... realize gearing is what makes you go faster or quicker out of the hole , but usualy what you take from one hurts the other ( meaning if you want more top speed , you will lose out of the hole , if you want a wheelie monster , then you will not have top speeds get it ). with some mods quicker , there are combinations to making your bike what you want .
