Im looking for a place to get a pocket bike. I dont need a 1500 dollar race bike, just something to fart around in (3-400) Anyone know of a good place to get one?

Nick

I can get one of the bigger pocket bikes for $380, the 49cc ones. The mega small ones for $325

I rode a 49 like a week ago
that thing gets kinda sketchy if your not careful! first time I tried standing on it, came back down, and it started to wobble
lol

the ones from china are everywhere.... cycle parts west in Garbage Grove has them, they are right next door to autosacs!

Where in socal are you? There's some guy on ebay who sells em out of Simi Valley and has them available for pickup for a decent price. He has the 47cc and 49cc ones...can't remember his username, but search ebay for either 49cc or pocketbike and you should find em.

There's a sports store at the Block of Orange. Friend got his $600 bike for $400.

I could get you one in that range.

goto www.sfvbikenight.com and post there. they are the group that comes in on wed. night.. .... tell them Dusty referred you to the site and they will give you good leads and save you $$$$$$

I was at the beach this weekend and saw 4 different people get tickets for riding pocketbikes around the parking lot, so if you get one steer clear of the cops and crowded places where cops are likely to be.

They are legal as long as you're at least 16 and have a dot approved helmet. I think it's the same as having a motorized scooter. I believe when you get a ticket it's a moving violation... you can even get a DUI on these things. So don't be stupid and I'm sure the cops won't bother you.

Im currently looking at ebay at one called a boss or something. They are out in Cucamonga so I could even pick it up there. 299.95. Anyone else want to get one? Get a price break?

AFAIK the law states: If they are under 50cc you can ride them on the public streets with no helmet or license.

Mini Moto, I think there in Azusa. They have the biggest shop I have ever seen. I can't say anything about there prices.

Did you ever get one? I was looking at the same boss ones on eBay. Is there a particular brand that is good to buy, or certain specs to look for?

What kinda gas do these things run on?

I cant tell which ones to buy. It looks like a lot of the ones out there now (for around 3-400) are made in China. Im not sure about the Boss ones, they dont say. If you want a really good one, then youll want to get one of the italian originals, Blata, ATM. These will cost you into the thousands of dollars though. If you are in to getting a Boss, I will call them and see if they will cut us a deal on 2! If we can get a few SCIC'rs to buy a few maybe we can get the price down even more!

Oh yeah, they are 2 stroke, IE 25:1 oil fuel mix.

Yeah its hard to tell which one to get. A lot of them look similar though. Im not really looking to spend thousands of dollars, i just want to get one to mess around with. Who knows how long these ($300-400) ones will last, but its relatively cheap anyway.

Ive browsed around and saw the 49cc ones that are "big" pocket bikes. Bigger than the boss ones (which are tiny) so might be a bit more comfortable.

Something like this: LINK (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47352&item=3676907014&rd=1). Or LINK (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47352&item=3676830943&rd=1). This bike goes for around $350 or so if you look around. These also have tail lights, head lights, signals, horn etc. if you gonna ride in the night or if that matters :D Either way, a grown man look funny on these things, but they are fun fun!

If you're really interested in a pocketbike send me a PM. My friends and I went in on a groupbuy about 2 months ago and picked up the small 47cc china bikes. We got em for $350 but can probably get em cheaper now. Some of our other friends just got the 49cc one's that have the headlights etc, but they're slow!

The 47cc bikes are fun as hell! I'll admit we look pretty dorky but there's nothing like 6 or 7 minibikes zooming by w/ people looking stunned --> :eek: We've actually had a friend pace us in his car... we got up to about 28-30mph. I'll try to post some pix when I get home from work today.

I attached a copy of the information I read on www.nwminimoto.com

The operation of motorized scooters is codified in the California Vehicle Code, Article 5, sections 21220 -23330.

Definition of a motor scooter: Any two-wheeled device that has handlebars, is designed to be stood or sat upon by the operator, and is powered by an electric motor, or gasoline two-stroke engine and is capable of propelling the device with or without human propulsion. V.C. 407.5

License Requirements: No driver's license is required to operate a motorized scooter, but the operator must be at least 16 years of age. V.C. 12804.9 & V.C. 21235

Maximum Speed: A motorized scooter may not be propelled at a speed in excess of 15 MPH. V.C. 22411 The operator of a motorized scooter shall not operate it on a highway (which also includes city streets) with a speed limit in excess of 25 MPH, unless the motorized scooter is operated within a Class II bike lane. V.C. 21235(b); 890.4 Streets & Highway Code (bike lanes defined).

Registration, Insurance and License Requirements: A motorized scooter is not required to be registered and no proof of financial responsibility (vehicle insurance) is required. V.C. 21224 Note: Your insurance policies may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of these scooters. To determine if coverage is provided, you should contact your insurance company or agent.

Must Comply With the Vehicle Code: Every person operating a motorized scooter upon a highway has all the rights and is subject to all the provisions applicable to the driver of a vehicle ... including but not limited to, provisions concerning driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages or drugs. V.C. 21221

Night Provisions / Equipment: Motorized scooters operated during hours of darkness are required to have the proper lighting equipment and reflectors. Required is a headlight visible 300 feet to the front, red reflector visible 500 feet to the rear and white or yellow side reflectors visible 200 feet. V.C. 21223

Rules of the Road: A motor scooter traveling at a speed less than the normal speed of traffic moving in the same direction at that time shall ride as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or right edge of the roadway except when: V.C. 21228

Overtaking and passing another vehicle: Preparing for a left turn, the operator shall stop and dismount as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or right edge of the roadway and complete the turn by crossing the roadway on foot, subject to the restrictions placed on pedestrians. Necessary to avoid unusual conditions in the roadway.

Bike Lane If a bike lane exists: any person operating a motorized scooter upon the roadway shall ride within the bicycle lane except for provisions in V.C. 21228. V.C. 21229

Brake, Speed, Helmet, Age of Rider, Passengers, Handlebars, Sidewalks The operator of a motorized scooter SHALL NOT do any of the following:

Operate a motorized scooter when the operator is under the age of 16 years old.

Operate a motorized scooter without wearing a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet per 21212 VC. (Roller-Blade and Skateboard helmets do not meet the requirement).

Operate a motorized scooter carrying any package, bundle, or article that prevents the operator from keeping at least one hand upon the handlebars.

Operate a motorized scooter with any passengers in addition to the operator.

Operate a motorized scooter unless it is equipped with a brake that will enable the operator to make a braked wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement.

Operate a motorized scooter upon a sidewalk.

Operate a motorized scooter on the highway with the handlebars raised so that the operator must elevate his or her hands above the level of his or her shoulders in order to grasp the normal steering grip area.

Leave a motorized scooter on its side on any sidewalk, or parked on a sidewalk in any other position, so that there is not an adequate path for pedestrian traffic. V.C. 21235

So, basically, you can "legally" ride them around your neghborhood but not on the sidewalk? I cant wait to get one!

So far, you can legally... but I have a feeling the law will find a way to stop these from being on the road. I've only been stopped once by a cop and at the time I didn't know the specifics of the law I posted above. My friend's and I were on the sidewalk going the opposite way of traffic... so I guess, technically we were breaking the law... but the cop was cool about it and told us to just ride in residential zones.

And then its a problem when neighbors start to complain. I plan on using mine to chase those friggin kids on their scooters. Im gonna chase em down and hack their kneecaps!!!

I just asked the owner of the Boss Pocket Bikes company about a multi bike deal. Ill post the results here, maybe in a new thread if I wont get in trouble. If we can get a few people to buy these the cost should be nice and comfy!

yep, some of them sell a lot of 20 or lot of 10. Seems like the price for each bike is $320.00 for a 47cc, free tool kit, and stickers. Its also located in Los Angeles and are available for pick-up.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and see if everything works out on the GB.

I just called the ebay store "national recreation group" they have a new pocket rocket out called the boreem, Apparantly, its identicl to the Boss, except for it has a performance air filter and new exhaust pipe. They are selling them for 250 which is cheaper that the boss!! They can give a 25.00 price break on an order of 12. SOOOO, if there are 12 people interested, I say lets do it! Otherwise, Ill just buy one myself. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47352&item=3676570378&rd=1

Imagine a TGIM meet where we all bust out pocket bikes from our trunk areas! That would be comedy.

Nick

Im selling my 6-disc HU on eBay. soon as I sold it, I'll get me the mini-GP version :lol:

I should check NRG in Rancho this weekend.

So does that mean that if I get a moving violation, I'd have to go to scooter school? :confused:

Man, of all the things, I never thought I would actually desire to own one of these things . . . but at $250, man, that's cheaper than a guitar. Keep us updated with the group-buy.

I am in also. Let see some pics

another thing you guys might wanna consider is what kinda cooling system it has..cuz if you just get an air cooled one you cant ride it for very long or it will over heat...i have a DM full fairing midi pocket bike... www.microbikes.com 13HP. air/water cooled

Those are great except that they cost over a thousand each! For those of us that arent going to circuit race, I think the 250.00 chinese knockoff is a better buy.

yea...if you guys get them let me know..so i can go to TGIM and we can ride around in the parking lot!

Originally posted by blitzpb

then if we do good at it, we may get sponsored (yeah right!) and get ourselves the GRC GP Minimoto Pocket bike

http://www.speed-sports.com/Pocket_Bikes/SHARED/GRC-GP_Repsol.gif

$2,900 A/C 52MPH stock or 75MPH race prepped engine.
:devil:

i heard GRC arent too good...the foot pegs tend to break on them.. i'd try to get sponsored by polini, or DM :lol: :lol:

Hey All,

Me and a few friends just picked up a bunch of the chinese pocket bikes but there was a miscommunication so we have one extra bike. It's the chinese 47cc bike. I already have one of these and I can vouch that they are fun bikes.

If you guys are interested let me know. I live in OC, so if you want to come and check out my bike and ride it send me a PM. The bike I'm selling is still in the box. I'm asking $300 for it. Let me know soon because I plan to put it up on ebay if nobody wants it but would rather sell local.

An update to the Group Buy question. We would need to order 12 at a time to get a discount. The price on the Boss will drop from 299 to 274. They only have red and yellow in stock right now but are getting another shipment in tomorrow (They dont know what colors). It does not look like, to me, that we have enough people interested for 12 and I dont feel like wasting too much time waiting for a bunch of people. But, lets see what kind of response we get on this today and then maybe we might be able to do it!

Nick

I saw some peeps selling them yesterday in La puente at a gas station on the corner of Amar and Hacienda. There was a crowd of peeps there. i think they were organizing a race of some sort...:lol:

please see your other post...thanks

-SF

Sorry about that guy everyone, I have no clue who he is or where he came from! I got 3 emails from him already!

Nick

im totally in on this, but i'd like one of the larger pocket bikes, the mini ones are just too small. keep us all posted

-Dan

Yeah I would also like to get a 'larger' pocket bike. I had the change to ride both sizes and the larger one is just way more comfortable. Doesnt feel like im squating and taking a dump.

Guys, I got by bike yesterday and It is sweet. I got to testdrive one on the spot and It was real fast, maybe b/c I only weigh 130lbs. This is the big bike (49cc) that Dan and Mr Fancypants talking about. If you guys need his shop number, please pm me. He is in Garden Grove, CA. I got mine for $340. I'll post some pics later.

Ok today i got two other buddies who are in on getting the larger pocketbike. we have our finances now and want to buy within the next few weeks if possible. Pm me blitz on info for the group buy!!!

Dat - did you get it from Michael Huynh of MOTOSCI?? Hes in Garden Grove.. I want to drive down their and pick one up.

thewhitewrx- are you setting up a group buy? Im down for getting a big version I was planning on getting it from this dude:

i believe blitzpb is setting up the group buy but we might as well get the wheels in motion. If blitz doesn't post tonite about it, i guess ill start a list but looks like they will be under 300 dollars. plus if blitz could get some info on sizing, i know my buddies want the larger bikes, not the ultra-mini pocketrockets.

-Dan

I'm down +1 for the GB of the Boreem pocket bikes.

Ill have to call them and find out if I can do a group buy with a bunch of different types of bikes. They may only want 12 of one or whatever. Sorry I havent posted anything new but if this company cant come through www.nationalrecreationgroup.com
then perhaps someone else here can get a better buy!

Nick

thanks for the quick reply

yes. He just got some came in yesterday.

also on the boreem, they dont make a 49cc bike so the guys who want the larger bikes cant get one

Hey one of my friends sells pocket bikes...I can get em to you at 300 pick up in so.cal...all kinds...pocket bikes...super bikes...choppers...iono wut else...but yeah 300 a pop

does he have a website

hey, i want in on those mini gb bikes. ill take one. :banana: :disco:

Guys, I am personally leaning towards NRG for buying the bikes (or at least mine) because they seem to be a decent sized operation with tech support, parts ordering etc. AND their prices arent any better or worse than some of these gas station dealers. I will be contacting them today to see what they say about a group buy on a few of their bikes.

Nick

Ok, they will do a mix and match for us. But the problem is that they do not have the 49cc's in stock right now. Those will be in sometime next week. The only have full fairing 47cc Boss bikes in stock. By the end of today they will have 47cc Boreems. If we order 12 bikes total its about 25.00 off per bike. The Boreems list at 250, the 47cc half fairing Boss is 300, full fairing is 329.00, The 49cc Boss mini GP is 350.00. Shipping will be extra if you dont want to pick it up or have someone pick it up for you.

As far as payment goes, I think it would be the easiest if we all called and paid separately. You would give them an order code, SCIC for instance, and they would give us the discounted price.

Pick up would be the cheapest for you otherwise you will have to pay shipping charges. I think the shipping is 60.00 per bike. Im sure that there will be at least a few people here that will go and pick up their bike and we could probably pick up the rest and we could meet up somewhere, either at a scheduled meet or an impromptu one.

Im going to leave this open until Monday morning. If we have enough people, I will call them back and iron out all the details. If you want to see what they have, you can go to www.ebay.com and search for boss pocket bikes, boreem pocket bikes. Or go to www.nationalrecreation group.com

That is all

Nick

I am definitly interested in the bigger 49cc bikes. If we get enough people, I definitly want in. Blue full fairing 49cc bigger ones. :banana:

so the 47cc pocket rocket is faster than the 49cc mini gp? i'm still deciding which one i should get, but you can count me in for one.

yes, the 47cc is faster (this is what they are telling me at least). The 49cc has full fairing, working headlights, tailights.

47cc, if you want it fast.
49cc, if you want it comfortable.

i'm gonna go with the 49cc. from that mpeg on the website, the 47cc looks way too small, don't think i'll be able to ride that little thing.

so what's the headcount on the group buy?

Thats the whole fun of it! Im 6-2 and I rode one of those 47cc bikes. Its like getting to be a shriners member everytime you hop on!

Nick

Here are some pics of the 49cc: (sorry for the big pics)

WRXRome 1 47cc full fairing
ZEKI 1 not sure which size

WE HAVE 12!!




Nick

hey blitzpb, I am down to buy another 49cc mini gp (2 total) but will have to figure a way how to fit two into a car (impossible im sure). Are you guys taking them out of the box and just shoving them into your car?

Or I will have to see if I can borrow my parents van or sisters suv.

I need to have it shipped all the way out to NY :-\ I dunno if that will kill the price or not.

i'm planning to pick up, most likely this friday since i have that day off. any idea how it's packaged? is it in a wooden crate? would it fit in a sedan without taking it out of the packaging?

Me and my buddy can pick up on Saturday the 29th.

a couple questions before i buy one
the 47cc boreem and boss what are the differences?
and what is the difference between half fairing, no fairing, and full fairing

Originally posted by zeki

zeki - The 47cc Boreem is very similar to the 47cc Boss pocket rocket except its cheaper by about $50 and has a "throatier sound" according to their website.

Fairing has to do with the body style, and how much of the frame is covered. Well thats what I gather from looking at the pics. More fairing = higher cost.


longuyen - blitz said its roughly $60 per bike for shipping but you may want to call for a quote. But if it is around that price, thats pretty good considering what others are charging.


blitzpb - I will be picking up my bikes. Im down for 2 now if thats cool?

Put me down for on 47cc full fairing boss in blue.

looks like we have 12, blitz, how long toll we can pick them up, im hoping this weekend?

Originally posted by thewhitewrx

Yeah it looks like we got more than 12 now. Hey blitz, do they give discount for 12 and over? Or just 12 flat?

I wonder if they got the 49cc in stock yet.

thanx for the answers i thought of some more questions =P
1. when u say similar the boreem 47cc and boss 47cc are about same speed?
2. The 47cc are all the smaller bikes?
3. the boss 49cc is the bigger one?
i think i saw some posts about this but not sure so just to confirm.

if there is a 47cc bigger bike it isn't as fast because it is bigger(more weight)?

TIA

Dat...I bought 2 from Mike at motosci already. Good guys...Currently, I'm port and polishing the motor, and gonna upgrade the exhaust system...anybody got any tips on where to get a good exhaust system for cheap? hookups? other tips?

I have been looking around for a good exhaust system myself. Michael told me that he will be carrying the mods for them soon, so right now I am just waiting.

zeki,

From what I was told, the Boss has a slightly better build (the boreem is a knockoff of the Boss, which is a knockoff of something else.) but the 2 are very similar in speed. The 49cc is the big bike. Its more because its bigger, has full fairing and working lights. I dont know why, but the 47cc is a faster bike. That might just translate as "quicker" and not faster. The speed is limited, I think, by the sprocket ratio.

EVERYONE,

Im sorry I didnt reply sooner, Ive been swamped here at work. I am going to call them right now and tell them what I have and how we should go about paing etc.

Nick

OK people!


Please IM ME the following!!!...

What size bike you want (47cc or 49cc)
If you want a 47cc then which one do you want (Boss or Boreem)
If 47cc, do you want half fairing, or full fairing
What color do you want. It will be easier to get your bikes this week if I get a few people who dont care what color they get.
Will you be picking up or having it shipped. The 49cc bike is 100 to ship because it has to come by truck and not UPS. I dont know about the 47cc.

As soon as I get this information I will be able to give you all costs and lead times. Also, they will allow us to pay individually. You will need to fax them a copy of your CC (front and back) and a copy of your drivers license. I believe that you will also be able to go online and purchase them through ebay. Ill let you know for sure.

Nick

Jeff@chasteauto.com

Nick,

Thanks for organizing the group buy. I PM'ed you my order. Since they do business on ebay, maybe they'll accept paypal?

Nick I sent you a PM also.

If you try to buy a bike off their website, it uses Paypal shopping cart so im sure they will accept it. Do we need a special code to receive the discount?

Dat & Argentum - a friend sent me this link with pocket bike aftermarket stuff. They have exhausts but they are not cheap. they also have stage kits which is kinda funny.

http://www.pocketbikesunlimited.com/index.html

So far Ive only received confirmation via PM from Fancy, LTS, Rome and Jared. If you guys are wanting to pick these up this week, I need to get your info soon!

Nick

When does the GB end?

how about a pocket bike racing league? That is the missing key to these SUbaru meets!

Eli

i think as long as you place your order with Nick before he calls the shop with the final totals. get your orders in asap, i want to pick mine up this weekend.

Yes, I want this to end quickly as well. I just need to get the PMS with the specs that you are looking for. I have accounted for 6 bikes so far, missing 8 I think. Ill try and email the rest of you.

Nick

I have a buddy selling them for 400$ for 4.2 hp
Ferdie

We are getting these for 250-325 depending on model.

Thanks though.

ok guys, lets get our act together! Im getting impatiant!!!

Well, still no responses in my box this morning. I really cant do any good unless I have all 14 people (12 at least) respond.

Nick

We had someone drop out this morning. So thats minus 2 bikes and we are back down to 12.

:disco:

I agree, if this does not happen by thursday, Im out. Im sorry, but I dont have time to keep this up. Ill probably just go down there and drive both and decide which one I like better!

Nick

I got all excited with the PBU Staged Kits :lol:

Plus, I traded my WRX to a Civic last weekend, I should be able to afford this, really. :lol:

Hey Nick,

If this doesn't happen, What is the number to the place and who should I speak to? I will be picking one up on Friday.

Rome

their contact info is on their website.

http://www.nationalrecreationgroup.com/htm/contact.htm

they also say on the website that they are not open to the general public, so we'd have to make prior arrangements to go there to preview and pick up the bikes.

when is everyone planning to go?

I spoke to them about an hour ago because a coworker wanted to go over there during lunch. They have no problem with you coming by, you just might now be able to pick up your bike. They have a lot of orders that they have to fill before they can let you buy one. If you are planning on going there, call first, ask if they have what you are looking for, see if they can hold it, THEN make the trek out there.

Nick

Ya, my dad and I are planning on making a trip down there from fresno on tuesday or so. I would go pick mine up earlier but hes going to buy it for me for my birthday! HAPPY 21!!!!! Anyways ya, check out www.toyjunkies.com before you buy the PBU stuff. Its way cheeper for the same stage 3 kit basically. Ill be getting the blue mini GP

good find tho

Anyone know if I can fit 2 49cc bikes (out of the box) in my car?? I would like to go soon too, im gonna give them a call.

Im thinking one on the back seat, and one on the passenger seat vetically :lol:

I know someone who can fit his 49cc pocketbike in his trunk of his wrx sedan....you shouldn't have a problem.

does the bike lean on the fairings that way? should i bring some soft material to cushion it then? hope the fairings don't crack by doing that.

The only thing that the PBU kit comes with the the toyjunkies doesnt is that "juice box" thingy? whatever that is...It doesnt look like its worth over a 100 dollars to me

If anyone is interested i have a few of the super bike X1 for sale. These are bigger and faster than the cat eye gp. The X1 also comes with the 3 gear cvt transmission. If you are interested email bthere@pacbell.net or (909)275-2654.

here are some pics of the 49cc X1, let me know if anyone is interested in this model

$450 each

Damn! How much?

any links to more info to the X1? also are they still categorized as a motor scooter and don't involve dmv registration and insurance?

Those look nice! My only complaint is that the whole reason that I AM buying a pocket bike, is because its supposed to be a pocket bike! Those look like those mini street bikes that they used to sell. They were street legal and everything but were little brothers to the Ninja or something. I WANT to look goofy ripping down the street with my knees at my throat! :lol:

Just letting you all know that my unopened extra bike is still for sale. I've had a couple inquiries but no buyer yet so if you're interested shoot me an email. I'm selling for $300.

Here's a pic of my personal 47cc bike. The bike for sale is the exact same model.

I will be contacting them today to see what they say about a group buy on a few of their bikes.

Nick

enough said.

Now, looking at the pictures between the two and hand-counting the pieces and bits, PBU State 2 includes more part than the TJ's Performance Kit. To conclude, PBU is just $67.01 more than the TJ's but contains more bits and pieces than the TJ's.

yeah, that's why i'd only be interested if it's still classified as a scooter. my friend has one of those 50cc yamaha ysr's, and he said that they are classified as a motorcycle and require registration and insurance.

hutiu_kho - so what's the deal with the X1?

the X1 are still categorized as a scooter. It is only 49cc, anything @ 50cc would require you to obtain a M1 permit to operate. Hence all these bikes being imported under the 50cc M1 classification. I can get the little pocket rockets for you guys also, full fairings or without. Pm me or you can call me @ 909-275-2654

so i guess we'll know by today if the group buy is off.

if it's off, i'll consider the X1 as well...will probably take a look in person at both the X1 and mini gp.

hutiu_kho - does the X1 have any lighting? do you have a website with more pics and specs?

Oh ya WR, you are right. I was comparing the stage 3 kit with TJ's kit. But even still, it does have more peices.

I was looking at the X-1 before on eBay as well. They do have headlights, taillights etc.

The length-width-height between the 49cc bikes:

49cc Mini GP ....... 51" x 14" x 27"
49cc X-1 ............ 55" x 20.5" x 27"

Dont know how accurate it is.. take a look at eBay and everyone lists different specs for dimensions, but those numbers are from Motosci.

hutiu_kho - just curious, where are you located?

And this is how it looks on a 6"2 person:

Yeah but the only thing is some of those ebay places located in socal still dont let you pick them up.. $120 for shipping sucks :furious:

450 tax included. Besides i've dealt with mpmco on ebay, i won a bid for a yellow X1 waited a week like he said and come the day that i could go pick it up. Guess what.....had to wait another week so i cancel the whole thing. If you really want and will be picking up at least 2 bikes i'll make you a better deal. Call or email me.


For those that are out of the area and cant come by to pickup, email me your address and i'll have a shipping quote for you that is less than 120 (actual shipping that was quoted to me).

I have a ups account but can only ship the pocket rocket and mini gp. The box that the X1 comes in is way too oversized for ups to ship it.

Guys for you in so cal 325 for 47cc and 415 for the 49cc (full body work and lights ) version avaialble for pick up in So Cal no hassles just let me know.

who wants to go pick up an X-1 on monday so we can get a better deal ? He is in LA

Chaste Automotive: Are you talking about the mini GP 49cc or the X-1 49cc? If the GP, then you can get those for 350 picked up in LA through NRG...

i like everything about the X1 except those round lights. the lights on the mini gp look way better.

WR xplosive-have you clocked yourself on the mini gp? how fast is your top speed? also, who did you buy from and how much?

i'm torn between the mini gp and x1 right now

I keep trying to call NRG and the line is always busy. Which number should I be calling?

Rome

Yeah so many damn options now, its confusing me. (I also get a busy signal with NRG)

I also really like the X-1 but those are some ugly ass headlights. I may pick up one of each (X-1 & Cat Eyes miniGP). Must.... decide.... too.... confused...

Chaste, which 49cc are you talking about? Cat eyes or X-1??? Please specify.

Just to confirm this, the group buy is official DOA. Sorry again guys, I really hope that everyone is able to get what they want soon! We'll have to have a meet somewhere!

dammit, it's like that saying,

price, speed, quality: you can only choose 2 out of the 3


comfort, speed, aesthetics: you can only choose 2 out of the 3 when it comes to pocket bikes

why do the lights on the x1 have to be so fugly?

Brand NEW in the Box 49cc X1 as pictured in posts in the thread. Comes with headlights, tailights, turn signals, dual disc brakes, front and rear suspension, chrome exhaust, street tires with polished rims. Comes in Ducati RED, Speed Yellow, Navy Blue, Jet Black, and Silver. Warranty included.

$400 out the door. Just mention NASIOC forum.

E-mail me at dd88bb99@yahoo.com or call us at (909) 630-6021 if you have any other questions.

David
MotoGP, NASIOC

dd88bb99,

that's $400 including tax? how many do you have in stock and where are you located? i'll give you a call later this morning.

when you call, will you post the specifics here? thanks.

LTSmash, $400 OTD everything!!! I just talked to him now and I will be picking up the RED X-1 tomorrow around 8:45am before I go to school!!!

:banana:

$400 OTD? Sounds good. LTSmash, did you call?

WR xplosive - that was fast.. :lol: Is he in Pomona?

Originally posted by Mr. Fancypants

He is in City of Industry. They are the manufacturer of the X-1, he claims. They said they are open late and early. I guess they are expecting shipments or sending out bulk orders all the time. He told me I can stop by even late at night and we can go for a ride along the industrial streets that they are in. I wanted to stop by this afternoon but the traffic in 60 freeway will be really bad.

There are only five left to accomodate NASIOC members' order. Yes, I reserved the RED!!!

what colors do they have ?

WR xpolsive, so after he sells those 5, he will no longer be giving the discounted price ??

i jsut reserved my Blue one. So far only me and wrXplosive have reserved bikes.

sorry i didn't post after i talked to him


hahaha..no, i just wake up early. i have the day off from work today but force of habit i just automatically woke up.

anyway, i picked up my yellow X1

it's not a store, he deals from his home. sounds like he's a dealer from moto gp (company name). i guess he buys from them and resells it or something.

there was some guy and his kid there...his inventory isn't open to just NASIOC. i asked the guy where he heard of david, he said from the recycler or something...

again, it's not a shop...it's a residence. if you want to pay him by cc, you'll have to paypal him.

i'm not sure when he'll be getting more bikes...it's best you call him and ask. i was under the impression he only had 5 "x1's" at the moment, one of each color.

WR xplosive - he promised my buddy a red one too...sorry i didn't read this post before i went down there, i gave him a $10 deposit for my buddy to reserve the red on for him. my friend is planning to pick his up tomorrow as well. you should call him and ask him what's up with that.

how do you like the bike anyways?



Originally posted by Mr. Fancypants

I doubt it. I bet he will always give a discount as long as you mention NASIOC. I mentioned Subaru Club, he may never understand when I say nah-she-oak :lol:

When is the pocket bike meet? And where??? :D

i said nasioc to him, and at first he didn't know what i meant.

it's all up to him if he's gonna give it to you for $400. he also has some referral program. basically he gave me a bunch of flyers and said "the flyer will give the person the pocket bike at $400, otherwise it's gonna be $450"

so i don't know for sure how long the $400 price is good for us. if he refuses to give it to you at that price, let me know and i'll give you a flyer.

i'm charging the battery right now and i have to go get some 2 cycle oil. also, for those of you with sedans, it barely fits across the backseat. i used some of its original packing material to keep it from moving. and i really mean barely, i had to roll down my rear window so the exhaust tip wouldn't hit my window. :lol:

LTSmash, its that big??

I wonder if it will fit my 04 Civic Coupe :confused: I have a split-fold down seat, I hope it does fit.

Maybe I should bring a tie-down strap eh?!

it comes out the box with all the stickers affixed like this.

the stickers look nasty, so i pulled them all off. it looks so much cleaner without the stickers

WR xplosive, since you have fold down seats, you may be able to keep the bike in the box and fit it in your car. without the fold down seats, i had to take it out of the box. i didn't want to try to put it in the trunk cause it would be on its side and the fairings are flimsy.

Well it seems like people are getting off the deals i've posted earlier. Anyhow I have 3 X1 left for sale.....2 silver and 1 blue

390 each ..... cash only ... no other colors available at this price.


when you guys do have a pocket bike meet, let me know also.

ok guys, here's some warnings when starting up the bike.

1. first and foremost, make sure the black tube fuel line is connected!! mine came out of the box disconnected. some of my fuel spilled out, good thing i caught it quick enough so that i didn't lose too much fuel.

2. i couldn't figure out how to start the damn thing. turns out you have to engage the rear brake (left brake lever) in order to start it. this is not mentioned in the instructions.


after not being able to start the bike, i called david, he told me about engaging the brake while starting. i also mentioned about the disconnected fuel line and he said that was the case for him too. damn chinks (i'm chinese and i don't mind the term in this case) are trying to kill us. i think we should get some clamps and clamp that sucker down.

LTSmash, thanks for the heads-up.

two-cycle oil and gas is needed which we can get from any generic gas station, plus charge the battery correct? Just in case the manual did not cover my concerns :D

WR xplosive,

yeah, i went to kragen and bought a bottle of 2-cycle oil and a 2.5 gallon gas can.

the mixing bottle is really small (600 mL capacity). so it's not wise fill the mixing bottle using the gas station pump. i believe the gas tank capacity is 1 L. it would also be wise to use a funnel to transfer the fuel/oil mix from the mixing bottle to the gas tank.

i used 87 octane with the 2cycle oil.

the longest wait is for the battery to fully charge. make sure you install the fuse so you can charge the battery.

it's really hard to tell how fast it goes...i don't think the speedometer is accurate, plus it's hard to lean back to look at it in the first place. this thing better be faster than the mini gp. guess we'll have to see for ourselves at the pocket bike meet.

LTSmash, I wrote down what you said and I'm going to stop by Kragen.

Cant wait 'til tomorrow morning!

there's a kragen on the way to david's place at the intersection of gale and hacienda, next to a 99cent store. or i'm sure they have this stuff at wal mart, which is also near there on gale and azusa.

i rode it around my neighborhood, which is kind of hilly. it took the inclines pretty well. i can't imagine trying to handle one of those small 47cc bikes. the x1 is a good size for leaning :D

I picked up a pocket bike from NRG and I have to say that I pretty happy with it. I got one of the GRC 47cc in orange and blue. I'm pretty short (5'4") and it fit me pretty good. My buddy is 6' and also had no problem riding it.

I picked it up around noon and I was able to shove it on my 04 Civic coupe back seat :cool: I think the battery was fully charged after 3 hours. I went to Kragen picked up 1 gallon plastic gas container and a gallon of Valvoline 2-cycle. I love the size of this bike and it wasnt as loud as the smaller ones. The headlight was pretty bright on broad daylight too. But on full throttle, the handle-bar and the whole bike starts to rattle/shake which shook my internal organs as well :lol:

this is the color that I picked up, all stickers are gone. right next to it is my 17" wheel for size reference.

Any one else picked-up a bike? David said there were 15 allocated for Subaru Club and only 3 was left when I stopped by Saturday noon.

my friend picked up a red one from david.

i just came back from a ride around the neighborhood. i turned everyone's head when i rode by. even the group of 3 crouch rockets. :lol:

WR xplosive,

which helmet to you have? it looks a lot like the one i got (black KBC on clearance at cycle gear earlier this year)

LTSmash, its the same one you have and the same ON SALE helmet :lol:

I was waved down by one of the ladies and asked how much I got for.

Two guys in mini-GP compared and kinda regretful to see how small their bike is. I cruised along with them and we gunned it, but they could not catch up. I guess they got scared with the smoke that was coming from my tail pipe.

Oh yeah, after riding the bike, I read the manual and it said that the air-gate should be in UP position. UP position is CLOSED and down position is OPEN position. Manual suggest to have it in UP Position which is closed. The bike later wouldnt start. I flipped it down again and it did start finally.

the choke should be up (closed) when you first break in your engine. They didnt want you to put it down (open) because they didnt want you to full throttle it when you get it out of the box. If you should full throttle it with choke in up closed position. The engine would just stall. The first gas tank is important. Ride it normally and accelerate smoothly. Dont try to make reving sounds though it is very tempting on your first gas tank. After that it's pretty much anything goes. Have fun. When are we all gonna get together and have a pocket bike race ? In about 2 weeks i know of a race, it's gonna be in o.c. if anyone's interested. The brackets are being finalize. And there will be a prize...a new bike or the pot. As i get more info i'll let you guys know.

Also next thursday, i'll be getting the latest and greatest model of the bike..... the X2....is coming. I've heard it has new improvements, better front shocks, side mirrors, working backlight. all things necessary i guess for you to ride it in the street legally i.e. a scooter. I'll post some pics as soon as my stock comes in.

Customs will release another container of X1 so my boss will give us another 15 Brand NEW X1 ANY color for $400.00 out the door only to forum members.
We also have the MiniGP's which are the ones with cat eyes headlights and dual ducati style exhaust for Brand NEW $320.00 any color to forum members. Quantity allocated is 15 also.

E-mail me for pics or call us at 909-630-6021.

David

I let 3 X1 bikes go over the weekend to forum members at $390 out the door. I'll match david's 400 for as many bikes as you want and not just for forum members. Bring your friends, neighbors, or the guy that just stop you in the street and make some extra cash of off him by selling it for more. Get in touch with me. (909)275-2654.

Well then how come it wouldnt start when I had it in UP position? I returned it to DOWN position and it works fine. I dont rev it too much just like owning a car when brand new.

I ran across one of the website who sells X1 and X3 and X2. The X2 will have three speed?!

just picked up my bike from hutiu_kho. we all know the bikes are cheap but his tech support has been really good. i am having much fun on my x1, i got silver. hes a good seller and knows a lot about the bikes. props!1

Hey, one of my neighbors has a slick yellow Ducati-clone minibike that he rides around the neighborhood while I'm trying to sleep.

You can have it. It's in his driveway.

STEEK

PS> You ought to bring some forceps and gloves just in case I catch him out on it before you get here, cause then I'm going to ram it up his garage.

http://www.sdscooters.com/49cc_Pocket_Bike_Parts.html
this is for 49cc rear exhaust port bikes

for 47cc daytona (true pocket bike size) upgrades go here

http://www.sdscooters.com/47cc_Pocket_Bike_Parts.html

As far as the chinese bikes are concerned all upgrades are the same for the 49cc rear port (also sometimes called a 46). This covers the X1, X2 3spd, X3 Ninja, and X4 Ninja. The 47cc pocket bikes with front facing exhaust port also use all the same ports. Basically there are only 2 motors worth bothering with. The 47cc has reed valves, the 49cc just has piston ports. If you look around you can also find better prices on the individual parts but the package deals are hard to beat.

I am no way affiliated with any pocket bike related site. I jus race them (cause they are bigger than the pocket, the Super's rule).

I hate those inconsiderate mo fos. I only ride my X1 between the hours of 10am-5pm when I know most of my neighbors are wide awake. When its pass 5pm, working individuals are just getting back from work and trying to rest.

MinesFaster, thanks for the link. We have 3 performance parts store so far... PBU, TJ, and SD Scooters. :cool:

I just picked up my 47cc from 03wrex yesterday. I had that thing fired up in no time! What a hoot! I did have one issue with it, and Im not sure if this will be true for all the 47cc bikes out there, but the throttle lickage on the handlebar was on top of the brake lever. This severely limited my right turn radius. I had to dissasemble the throttle linkage, flip it underneath the brake and remount it. After that I had full steering. The only other problem I have now is that the gas tank seems to have a small leak somewhere. I dont think its a big issue, but Ill need to find out where the leak is and fix it. We need to have a parking lot race now!

Nick:disco:

Nick, I believe little leaks like the one you mentioned is normal. That is also according to the Manual and the disclaimer that I signed when I purchased the bike.

I cant race yet, Im still in the brake-in period :lol:

Anybody still have a deal for these? I plan on getting one this weekend

WWW.NATIONALRECREATIONGROUP.COM

They still have the half fairing 47cc's for 300. They also have a 47cc for 250 I think.

For those who think the 47cc is too small for them, I am 6-2, 197 and it is SO much fun. Getting that thing up to top speed (supposedly 35) and banking a turn is nuts!

My rubber pegs are ripped already, Im going to have some knurled aluminum ones made up for me!

When are we going to do a parking lot race?

Nick

Hey Nick,

Glad to hear that you're loving that bike... I knew u would. The turning on these bikes aren't the greatest, I've learned to lean into the turns so that helped out quite a bit.

I'm not sure about the gas leak though. One thing that I've read is that you should zip tie the gas line to the frame so it doesn't rest near the exhaust. I've heard that the exhaust could burn the rubber hose if it rests on it.

Hope you're having a blast on that thing. Not sure how close you live to me but my friends and I go riding every once in a while. It's hilarious to see about 8 of these little bikes zooming around.

Thanks Justin!

Some lady walking her dog stopped to talk about it while I was still in the driveway. She said her grand daughter got one! Then she asked if the bike was for my son. "Heeeck no" I said, "Its for me!" She busted up laughing and left :confused: :lol:.

It may not even be leaking from the tank, I get a little dribble from the gas cap, that may have been it.

I can't tell you how many people honk and stare at us when we're buzzing down the streets. Most have this blank look on their face at first and then a huge grin when they realize what they're looking at. I must admit, I'd be busting up if I had never seen a pocket bike and all of a sudden see 8 tiny bikes w/ adult-sized people on them... we're circus clowns!

You can import pocket bikes from china for $170+$45 shipping.

Looks like somebody's 47cc is really fast and asking for a race :eek:

When and Which parking lot? :lol:

If you want the MINI GP 49cc pocket bike ($375) call 714-632-3482 and tell them Kevin w/ the WRX sent you. Pick from black, silver, red & blue! Ask for a helmet too if you're going to be using this on the streets.

It comes with tools, gas holder/mixture, & battery charger. These bikes use a 25:1 mixture of unleaded gas and 2 cycle oil. Engine uses electric start or a pull start, and has a working horn, headlights, turn signals, and tail lights.

They can be even tuned to hit excess for 45mph with intake and exhaust.

so my dad is maybe like 5'8-5'9 and weighs prolly near 200lbs. any of you bigger guys that have ridden pocketbikes confirm that its possible? I know he'd like one for fathers day because he used to ride, but I dont want to spend ~400 on something that's going to break when he sits on it. :lol: :lol:

Like I said earlier Im 6'2" and weigh 197 and its not a problem!

I rode my bike down to the grocery store last night and just threw it into the cart while I went in and bought some Newcastle! Threw the castle in the back pack and I was home in no time! Plus, think of all that gas I saved by not taking the car!

PS, raised trucks are REALLY scary when your on the pocket bike.:eek:

I am 5'4" and about 130lbs. I looked like the actual kid with a toy. Oh and I am 25 :lol: .

ps: Does anybody in San Diego want to cruise? I know a route by highway 56 that is pretty nice.

Dat, good pix man!! :lol:

nice pic...but you may want to wear a helmet, to avoid getting hassled by the cops

Hey if anybody lives in SoCal and is in need of a full fairing 49cc pocket bike. I got them in two tone colors for $350. E-mail me if you're interested.
Rikky383@hotmail.com

I just got my X1 from David (dd88bb99), this thing rocks. When are we having a meet with the bikes?

Those of you who got the larger bikes (49cc and X1's) are in for a big, er small surprise when you see the 47cc's!:lol: That 49cc in Dat's actually looks comfortable to ride! Ill take pics of my 47c tomorrow.

Anyone know a good online place to buy helmets?


I plan on picking X1s this sunday! Nice pic Dat, looks like fun you ! ;) ;)

Who needs a yellow or red X1 ... get with me 909-275-2654

I didn't realize these were getting really popular. I got my 49cc Boreem last Saturday for $300 cash. One of my friend's cousins was selling them, so me and some buddies bought one on an impulse. I got it in solid red to match my SRP WRX. I'll post pics when I can.

The only thing about it is that the right break lever is for the front brakes and the left brake lever is for the back which is the opposite of what I'm used to. Also, it tends to get hot around your left leg if you wear shorts.

I'll see if my friend's cousin can get more for $300 and I'll let you guys know. Some of my other friends want one now too. :banana:

you're not the one I saw riding in lower azusa rd., are you?

Yeah I would sponsor a meet of pocket bikes where we can all show our bikes. I would throw in an Brand NEW FREE X1 and or MiniGP for event prize if enough ppl are interested.

Also can someone e-mail me names and tel. to performance part stores. I wanna get an exhaust for my x1.

Thanks

David

I just got my bike 3 days ago and already want to make it faster, anybody have any info on mods for X1's

http://www.pocketbikesunlimited.com/ABOUT.html
http://www.sdscooters.com/49cc_Pocket_Bike_Parts.html
http://toyjunkies.com/

I prefer pocketbikesunlimited performance package.

When are we going to race/cruise down together? Meet in the parking lot and cruise/race. Its better to cruise first since I dont have any performance mods, yet. :D

I am having a fuel cut problem on my bike. When I have it going at WOT and at top speed, the engine will cut out and I have to bring it down a little before I can bring it back up. Is this just because the fuel cant keep up or what? If that is the problem, then I now know why all the kids with hopped up scooters will seemingly let off the gas and get back on it right away. I thought it was just to annoy the crap out of me but after trying it myself, I think that you have to do that or the fuel supply runs low. Im on tank 3 with 2 more to go before I can switch to 50:1. Cant wait!

Those 49cc bikes are slow as hell! My 47cc bike that I just got eats them alive all day long and I weigh 220lbs! If anyone is interested I'm selling it and I'm local in Hermosa Beach. This is the brand new full fairing bike, Its the $425 bike. I'll take $375 for it and you can come and pick it up, no tax!! If you want to use a credit card theres always paypal.
email ryanvancil@Yahoo.com

who wants to get together next sunday ? The place will be in orange county. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Ryanvancil: you should come with your 47cc full fairing and i'll race you.

hutiu_kho, where in OC and what time next sunday?

3pm on Sunday 6-13-04 in O.C. We are still finalizing the details on the race location. Meet up time is @ 2pm. If you are interested email me for more info or call 909-275-2654 and I will give you the meet up location. Remember meet up location will not be the race location. Bring your ride, modified or not it will be a ride together and to show off and share ideas of what can be done to these bikes.

On another note: X2 i just got one to test out. The take off of the X2 is much faster due to the cvt tranny. The speedometer now shows 45 mph instead of 30 mph on the X1. My brother was able to push the bike up to 35-40 mark before he had to engage the brakes (end of the street). The chain on the X2 is also different than the X1. It seems stronger and the gaps looks to be a lil closer. The X2 are $50 more making it $450 total out the door. Those who are coming this sunday will be able to see the x2 but at this moment it will be bone stock.

Hi guys, a quick question on my X-1, I noticed there there was a bit of oil leaking from where the chain connects to the sprocket. Is this normal? Or something that I should be worried about? Any help is much appreciated.

cheers,

Victor

those are normal and are due to lubrication from the chains.

Hey dude! The bike seems to be running well. I haven't had much time to ride it so much after that day, as this is my last week before finals. :/

I'm actually very tempted to purchase the X-2... Does anybody want to buy a X1? I'll sell it cheap! :) Let me know.

I haven't seen it yet, but i don't think there's many changes other than a speedo that reads to 45 mph and the CVT tranny. Perhaps hutiu_kho can chime in and give us more concrete information and perhaps some pictures :)

That would be nice.

I picked up two X-1s from hutiu_kho (Billy) last Sunday but only got around to driving them today. I recommend buying them from him! Great customer support and hes a nice guy :)

I noticed that with the choke up (closed), the engine stalls when accelerating from a stop. Not sure if I was gasing it too much but it seems like you really need to gas these things to get going. I usually use my legs to push off from the get go. But I stayed under 10 mph.

The turning on these arent that great and I adjusted my handle bars for full turning. Also, these things are kinda loud. I was driving along with my sisters and a cop passed by and gave a "what the hell is that?" type look as we put put along. He didnt really care though.

:p

BTW.. damn these things are fun! Im gonna take some pics.

hello everybody and i must say that there is a lot of people interested into these bikes so here is my offer:

47cc boreem pocket booster (small) $295.00
colors available 2 blues, 2 burgundy (new)
like the (boss)
49cc mid size lights electric start $365.00
colors: black, silver only have 2 (new)

47cc pocket harley black, front light, $365.00 was $400.00

goto http://gotpocketbikes.com and email for cell phone. also forums can help you out with issues. Parts also available such as carbs, full engines, clutches, clutch springs, gas tanks, gas caps....etc.

Whats up guys... is saw this thread and i thought i would contribute....

I just purchased 2 pocket bikes form friend who is importing and distributing these mini crotch rockets. purchased them for 325.00 each.

As for modification... mine stock only ran (according to the cheep'O meter) around the number 30-32. the other one was hitting 32-34. After doing modifications to the motor, internal mods i am now pushing 42-44 a gain of avg 10. Keep in mind i am 215lbs and my little brother is 170lbs and i can pull away from him and keep going with the modified bike.

Actually after tuning RC car motors for 4 years these things work the same way very identical. my goal is to hit the magical 60+ number on that meter.

If there are any meets on these bikes i will bring both of them, any one is welcome to ride and feel the HP. The problem i am trying to figure out is how to get more torque out of these things.
I have one motor in parts right now which i hope to gain more torqe than horsepower.

keep in mind my mods are all internal i didn't change the exhaust, filter, this rocket key which i think is not needed (advances timing 5 deg for more RPM).

lets get a meet going i want to race some guys that have all the bolt on mods vs my internal mod bikes, one will have the exhaust and filter witht he same internal the other is bone stock with internal mods only :disco:

Sigma! Can you tell us what you did? Also, Im wondering if there is a 2 speed clutch out there for this big of an engine! I know they have them on 1/8 scale and I dont know what size engine the use on the 1/4 scale.

here are some pics of the X2 with cvt tranny.

The meet up place for this sunday will be in orange county. The addy is 14842 Stengal St Westminster, CA 92683-5816. Let's try to be there at 2:30pm. The actual riding ground will be ~10 min. away. We will park our cars at the address above and ride to the racing ground on our bikes. Should you guys need more info feel free to contact me. Should you get lost call (714)588-9048 ask for BB or (909)275-2654 Billy. Hope to see all you guys there. I will be taking pics to put on to my website www.u12race.com (under construction atm) .

I want to get a couple helmets through CycleGear.com. Does anyone know how to figure out the size of the helmet that will fit your head?

Is there some way to get a rough reference point of size without ordering and returning helmets multiple times?

helmet size :

I used a measuring tape to take the measurement of my head at the forehead area. Then I matched it with this chart.

hey ass watch it :mad: this is my codriver haha i would die if i had one

Well it's some what difficult to explain it's somethign i had learned over the 2 years from tuning 1/5 scale cars which are 25cc engines. They work identical so the same modifications applies. It's basically adjusting port timing advancing them a certain degree, changing how the cumbustion chamber burns fuel and the intake tract.

it's all measurements your basiclaly grinding away material to a specific measure ment using a degree wheel and some calipers. opening the exhaust, intake, and transfer ports.

i am going to fool aroudn with my bikes more but i will be offering this service soon in the next week or so. i want to see if you mod the engines according to bolt on mods if it will react positively or negatively. because right now with a stock bike i am able to get it up to 44mph steady. but i am going to see how that modified motor reacts to the exhaust, intake, possibly a 40mm carb.

but i ordered a bunch of parts to test out so i will have some type of a result soon. right now i just have a bad ass stock bike with internal engine work.

The problem with your pocket bike is carb adjustment. your problem is not a fuel cut but a fuel flood.

There is an adjustment needle on the side of the carb. real hard to get to but i suggest you learn how to tweak it :banana:

basically i would reccomend to do this... turn it clockwise untill it stops don't crank on it or the tip of the needle wil be flattened and you will never get the right mix or find a replacement with out purchasing a new carb.

Turn it all the way in count out 5 180deg rotations counter clock wise. Start the bike hop on it (don't ride it just put load on it and mash on the throttle. if the bike bogs and feels like it's trying to go but it won't it's too lean, if it bogs but you notice if you back off a bit it takes off then your too rich. i find that the needle is around 4.5 to 5.5 180deg turns out from optimal but each motor is made differently and trust me none are the same!!! the casting of the inside is a joke.... no quality what so ever just mold and slap together.

with a properly tuned carb you should hit 40mph no problem but it will take tons of room to get it up to speed.

I'm thinking about selling my bike. It's two weeks old, it's on the second tank. Bike is stock except for the exhuast (I'm keeping the filter). It's a custom made that picked some mid-top end power. It has no silencer, idles louder them stock but under WOT is quieter. I've gained 8+MPH on this mod alone and I'm a pretty bike guy, 6'2 215lbs. Bike handles and leans very well. Paid 450, Asking $400 w/ exhuast. Comes w/ tool pouch, charger and mixing bottle. Pick up only oir can arrange to meet in SD.

Thanks a bunch, thats very helpful!

Do you know anyway to decrease vibrating in the handle bars. My sister's bike vibrated in the handle bars more than mine does.

Also, is there anyway to put a silencer in the exhaust... she wants hers a little quieter... lol

mine vibrates as well and it vibrates more when slowing down :(

Thanks SPCD! I will give the carb adjustment a try tonight. I havent looked too closely at these engines, but it does sound like they are the same setup as RC engines!

Helmet wise, I use my Simpson AutoX helmet. Its about half the size of my entire bike! I look like a SpaceBalls character riding around on the streets. :lol:

Nick

HAHAHAHHA yeah Space Balls!!:lol: :alien:

was it lord helmet or darth helmet>? hehe rick moranis

Hey how often do you guys charge your bikes? Sometimes I find it hard to start up, like it needs more juice.

Whats up guys!!!!

Well i just finished modding the Red Bike that i have. that MF hits 52 on the speedo... i know it's not correct but bone stock that POS was hitting 30-32 now it tops out to 52... The bad part is the motor mount on the left side broke ($40 bucks plus a week of waiting). It's part of the crank case that broke off so i was not able to fine tune the carb. The bike was running lean up top because it would hit the Mph right away but top out too quick. The blue bike it would read 45-48mph and hold it there but it's able to pull on the red bike. But the blue was running slightly fatter than the red one.

I know the red one will go faster than the blue just need more seat time to fine tune the carb.

I did figure out how to get more torque out of the 49cc motor. The red bike has tons of it. it requires no pushing to get it rolling and i am a big 220LB guy!

if i go to the meet today i will bring the blue bike for people to toy with and to get a few races :banana:

FYI these bikes are stock not a single bolt on mod it's all internal mod.:eek:

:banana:

I just bought a 49cc and I am picking it up from the warehouse today.

If you are riding in the daytime, and don't need the lights, and use the pull start, does the battery need to be charged?

Also, the first tank or two, you have to use a 20:1 mixture, and then you can go to a 50:1 mixture, right? I am going to use 91 octane, I've heard that you'll get more speed from 91. It doesn't hurt the motor, I hope.

Since these things are air cooled, how long can you ride it until you need to stop and let it rest?

Thanks for the help.

I just got some 100 octane for mine, still haven't had a chance to try it though. That stuff was 5.75 a gallon :eek:

ok the formula on that one that is going 52mph....
i take it most of you guys know how a two stroke motor works... becuase thats the only your going to understand what these dimensions mean.

Exhaust port 20Deg advance
Intake port 32deg advance
primary transfer port was enlarged and ported to direct flow.
Piston was shaved 15mm dia from center out (change combustion chamber) 1/16" deep.
Cylinder head was shaved 1.5mm to increase compression. this increases torque. the blue bike i have was shaved .75mm and it seems to have more mid range.
Intake manifold was portmatched, exhaust manifold was port matched, entire cylinder head was polished and plated with moly.
piston skirts was plated too....

it's not an easy task i have done this for 2 years so it's something i have learned over time.

the only tool you will need to do this correctly is a degree wheel. that is the crutial part in measuring port timing and when intake and exhaust timing overlap.

takes a total of 5 hrs to do the motor, and 1 hr to put it back on the bike.

also i run a 25:1 Synthetic 2 stroke oil mixed with 91crap gas.

BTW when you have a chance take apart those bikes and use threadlocker....

i was running my other bike yesterday comparing internal mods vs bolt on mod bikes... i kept pulling on them but the mounting screw for teh rear brake came loose and it rubbed against the rear disk. so now i have 2 broken bikes....
or atlest it's down for the moment.:(

the faster i go the more these things fall apart.

Wow, that was pretty easy sigma.

















I can never do that :lol:

Sigma Pi , What kind of bikes do you have ? The cat-eye style one or the X1's ? And how are you clocking the 52mph ?
