I bought one and the setup instuction are completly wrong. I called tech support because I knew enough to know something was wrong. He told me to use motorcycle gear oil in the fill hole farthest from the motor (cylinder). And to use motorcycle trans oil in the fill hole closest to the motor.

With the new 50 craze I don't want anyone messin up there shit.:thumbsup

Does that thing need oil and gas like the YSR50's did? Pre-Mix? Or seperate fill like a lawnmower engine?

That mini doesn't look as small as most of the other ones - or is it just illusion?

Body/fairings look pretty cool too. How do you like it so far?

A lotta people are using these for pit bikes at the races...They say they go pretty fast and are really cool! They seem quite happy with them.

I think they're GAY. :spit I'm not 5 years old, so I don't get this whole mini-moto craze.

You should come out to the Fiddy track and see how much fun these mini-motos can be. :)

Joe,

That's a cool bike. I was looking at that one also before I decided on the smaller one. Is that the X1 or the X2? The X2 is the newer model and is supposed to be faster than the X1.

MadMax, it is bigger than the smaller ones everyone just ordered through the group buy. It weighs about 90-95 lbs., and has a seat height of about 23". It also has front and rear suspension, electric start, headlights, tail and brake lights. Mine is about 40-45 lbs. and has a seat height of about 17", and has no suspension, electric start, or lights of any kind.

But it's still fun as hell. Especially at the Oval.:D

Thanks for the info Mike. Whatever size they are they look like a hoot. I'd love to be able to pick one up and horse around but my fiance would kick my a$$.

I've ridden regular Honda 50cc scooters that top out at about 35 mph and even though you aren't going that fast - it feels pretty fast.

Doing that speed or higher on a tiny cycle probably feels like mach 1.

I like it but the one from autozone looks cooler. I don't like how much the autozone bike vibrates though.

Joe,

Look what I came across for your new toy. Adds 5-8 MPH.

Actually that looks like the bike from autozone. Got mine from pepboys. not sure they would be the same.

The pep boys mini pocket bikes are cool .... I purchased the Super Ninja for $300 bucks. Me and few friends ride them along the Lakefront. I have the super ninja and my friends all have the pepboys mini racer. Both pretty cool , be aware or wheelies ... the chains break easily for both models.
