POCKET BIKES
Are you lot sure lmao!!!
I've got the cheapy 39.8cc engine. Frankly, its quicker than a Blata running exhaust and filter. 5 of us in a straight line, the blatas both lost out on bottom end, marginally quicker than my friends 38.7cc engines top end, about the same as mine, but i'd already gone..
That one you posted is my next purchase I hope. I can't justify spending £2k on a mini moto. £400 is much easier..
My current one, as you lot say, had lots of little niggly problems, but then if you can't fix things like that, why the hell buy them anyway?
Blata - Good, quality, wont go wrong, expensive
Chinky - poor quality, goes wrong, cost bugger all to buy (can get x1 blatas for x3 chinky).
You get what you pay for.
I've had mine all summer, broken a few cluctch springs, exhaust, fairing (crashes),but thats it. Paid £190 for my cheapy, and thus far, have spent about £50 on parts, oil and juice. Thats all summer, and they have been ridden hard, raced, and taken accross grass, mud, cobbles etc.
80cc kit, nah, try 56cc kit...
As for the water cooler ones doing 60mph, again, nah!! 50mph maybe. Even the REAL Origamis only crack 62mph, and need a different rear sproket to get to 68mph.
