Those are the same as my bike, with some modifications my bike does 51Kph which is 32mph and I weigh 90kg (about 200pounds). If you are lighter it helps. They dont go off road all that well, but if you are just riding up and down the street they will be fine. Don't expect to just unpack it and take off down the street, these things are made in China very cheaply so you will have to tune the carby and check a few other things yourself first. If you don't know how to tune a two stroke, I suggest you take it to a mower shop and get them to do it for you.

Apart from that, they're a good little bike, I haven't broken mine yet 8)

why dont u buy one of the PeeWee50 look alikes? (chinese knock off's) throw some super motard wheels on it :twisted:

lets see how long it take before someone tells you not to run the bike in :roll:

ok yea my weight is 160 so i think that should be good. how is the engine. does it rev high and stuff. i also saw some upgrade pipes that they make. they say it makes a difference in sound and proformane. but i dont think it works does it? these are them http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11332&item=7165880263&tc=photo and this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11332&item=7166322322&tc=photo

 

[traxxasracing04]

yea i think i know how to tune it. i will adjust the idle then under the idle screw there is another screw. i would turn it in. to let less gas in so it doesnt bog down. is that correct?

hey lemmiewinks what mods did you do?

Run it in how you want, dilligaf? I was actually referring to the fact that the frame/forks etc hadn't broken, but since you're the expert I'll let you take if from here gazza.

lemmi i was quoting that as a good thing i run all my bikes in but everytime i see some one talking about running in a motor everyone jumps at the chance to have a say about not running motors in
mate, i am far from an expert i only go by my pass experience :?
