New street bike

[section525]

Well here she is. It's a little big for me but I'll get used to it. Me and a buddy went down to SF and bought 21 of these! Sold them all already and have a waiting list now. 17 were sold within a few blocks of school so we're starting a motorcycle gang.

Check out the pic of it next to my skateboard.

how much you get those for? - how much you sell them for?

[Mbrooks420]

Pocket bikes are cool, I'd like to get one. 49cc I assume? Whats the top speed, and is it a manual gearbox?

[X~FACTOR]

Do you need a license to drive it on public roads? How comfortable is it to ride?

[section525]

Yup.. 49cc. I'd say it'll do about 30-35mph. The speedo goes up to 60mph though.

In Chico, these things fall into three different catagories of motorized vehicles. Basically, as long as you're wearing a helmet, you can ride one on any street with a speed limit of 35mph or less without having to register it or insure it with just a standard class C license.

They're not bad to ride. They take it little bit to get use to. A little squirly at first. But it has electrtic start, head lights, tail lights, brake lights, blinkers, a horn, a key.. they're pretty much loaded.

Damn, that's pretty cool. How much can we get them for? I've been watching eBay but I rather buy from somebody on here if the price is decent.

[Mbrooks420]

As far as I know, in PA anything less than 50cc doesn't need a registration, and you can ride them on anything except the interstate. I think they do have to have a maximum speed of 35. There are a lot of hop-up parts, even 80cc big bore kits. PA also recently repealed the helmet law.

Those are sweet, but post a pic of you or someone standing next to it... the comparison of the skateboard doesn't help me out, b/c that doesn't look like a standard skateboard.

I was reading on another site and the standard top speed for them is about 45 mph...one guy said he got it up to 60 but he had a bunch of upgrades

[section525]

My buddy is selling them for $400. But that's all local sales. I don't know how much shipping would be. They come in a 4'x3'x16" box and weigh probably close to 100lbs.

I'll get a pic of it next to a person.. but here it is next to my Explorer:

[Texplorer]

WOW, you guys dropped about 8 grand on those things. I wish I could do that, then again I wish I could pay for college. I wouldnt mind getting one of those to ride around campus.

Get one with a person riding it. That is so small I wonder where an adult rider would put his feet.

[JPA1982]

pep boys carries them i know that, they have dirt bikes and street bikes for 400 bucks with 35 mph top speeds i think, just saw them in the sunday ad, look like fun, might have to go take a look

are there really different brands and everything, where have u seen the upgrades for them, cause i would def want to go over 35 mph, lol

[Con Seann3ry]

I guess there are upgrades, cuz some guy on a different forum said he got his to 60 but he had some upgrades..he didn't say what they were though

HAHAHAHAHAHA, Looks like a room full of circus midget bikes.

Whats the mpg on one of those things?? Im really thinking about one for on campus next semester. Gas for the Explorer is crazy when Im in school with all the starting and turing off and all the little trips around campus.

[section525]

30 miles per 1.5L it says. You're the college kid. Let us know how many mpgs that is.

[Texplorer]

How many litres does it hold?

[section525]

1.5l

[Texplorer]

hahaha, I should have known
